Performance of diagnostic tests to detect respiratory viruses in older adults. [PDF]
, 2010 The performance of 4 laboratory methods for diagnosis of viral respiratory tract infections (RTI) in older adults was evaluated. Seventy-four nasopharyngeal (NP) swab specimens were obtained from 60 patients with RTI at a long-term care facility over 2 ...

Advanced Science, EarlyView.Intratracheal neomycin alters pulmonary microbiota, activating the vagus nerve via lung brain‐derived neurotrophic factor/tropomyosin receptor kinase B (BDNF/TrkB) pathway, further projecting to nucleus of solitary tract (NTS), then dorsal raphe nucleus (DRN), where activated serotoninergic neurons increase brain serotonin, alleviating migraine.

Clinical features of pneumonia in extreme old age [PDF]
, 1995 The clinical features of 70 people over the age of 85 with radiologically positive pneumonia were studied. It was shown that the classical presenting symptoms of pneumonia were often absent and 81 % had one or more acute ’geriatric’ features such as ...

Upper respiratory tract infection heterologous immunization and meningococcal disease [PDF]
, 1999 To test the hypothesis that an episode of upper respiratory tract infection or heterologous immunisation is a predisposing factor for the occurrence of meningococcal disease, data from 377 cases of meningococcal disease and their household contacts (n ...

Pinball-OCSVM for early-stage COVID-19 diagnosis with limited posteroanterior chest X-ray images [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 The infection of respiratory coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) starts with the upper respiratory tract and as the virus grows, the infection can progress to lungs and develop pneumonia. The conventional way of COVID-19 diagnosis is reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), which is less sensitive during early stages; especially if the

Post‐Translational Modifications in Cilia and Ciliopathies
Advanced Science, EarlyView.This review synthesizes current understanding of post‐translational modifications (PTMs) in ciliary proteins and emphasizes their roles in ciliary formation, homeostasis, and signaling. This review also discusses the implication of PTM dysregulation in ciliopathies and explores therapeutic strategies targeting PTM‐modifying enzymes.

Exhaled breath barbotage: a new method for pulmonary surfactant dysfunction assessment [PDF]
, 2017 Exhaled air contains aerosol of submicron droplets of the alveolar lining fluid (ALF), which are generated in the small airways of a human lung. Since the exhaled particles are micro-samples of the ALF, their trapping opens up an opportunity to collect non-invasively a native material from respiratory tract.
