Eulerian-Lagrangian modelling of bio-aerosols irradiated by UV-C light in relation to SARS-CoV-2 transmission [PDF]

, 2020
It is well known that several viruses, as well as SARS-CoV-2, can be transmitted through airborne diffusion of saliva micro-droplets. For this reason many reserach groups have been devoted their efforts in order to gain new insight into the transport of fluids and particles originted from human respiratory tracts.

Respiratory Tract and Mediastinum [PDF]

, 2012
Normal cytology, abnormal and atypical cells, non-cellular components, and infectious cell changes are largely described together with benign, malignant, and neuroendocrine lesions regarding exfoliative and aspiration cytology of the lung. A separate section broadly addresses diagnostic findings and differential diagnoses in bronchoalveolar washings ...

MULTISCALE MODELING OF THE RESPIRATORY TRACT [PDF]

Mathematical Models and Methods in Applied Sciences, 2010
We propose here a decomposition of the respiratory tree into three stages which correspond to different mechanical models. The resulting system is described by the Navier–Stokes equation coupled with an ODE (a simple spring model) representing the motion of the thoracic cage. We prove that this problem has at least one solution locally in time for any

Nonhuman Primate Models of Respiratory Disease: Past, Present, and Future. [PDF]

, 2017
The respiratory system consists of an integrated network of organs and structures that primarily function for gas exchange. In mammals, oxygen and carbon dioxide are transmitted through a complex respiratory tract, consisting of the nasal passages ...

Picobirnaviruses in the Human Respiratory Tract

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2012
TO THE EDITOR: Picobirnaviruses (family Picobirnaviridae) are nonenveloped, double-stranded RNA viruses of vertebrates with a bisegmented genome. Segment 1 (2.2-2.7 kb) encodes the capsid protein, and segment 2 (1.2-1.9 kb) encodes the RNA-dependent RNA polymerase.

Interfacial Yield Stress Response in Synthetic Mucin Solutions

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
The solution rheology of novel synthetic mucins mimicking natural mucin domains is studied. Like many natural mucin solutions, apparent solid‐like rheology is seen. However, no bulk structural features are found to explain it. Interfacial rheology and robust modelling reveal that this arises from molecular associations at the air–water interface ...

Antimicrobial use Guidelines for Treatment of Respiratory Tract Disease in Dogs and Cats: Antimicrobial Guidelines Working Group of the International Society for Companion Animal Infectious Diseases [PDF]

, 2017
Respiratory tract disease can be associated with primary or secondary bacterial infections in dogs and cats and is a common reason for use and potential misuse, improper use, and overuse of antimicrobials.

Zero‐Power, Optical Toxic Gas and Vapor Sensors Utilizing Printed Nematic Liquid Crystal Patterns on Selectively Reactive Substrates

Advanced Sensor Research, EarlyView.
Fast response, zero‐power, text or image sensors utilizing light transmission or reflection, and no unfavorable color change judgments, are fabricated using printed nematic liquid crystals patterned on reactive alignment layers, permit ppt‐ to ppb‐level sensitivity, and were field‐tested with active firefighters.

Characterization of the viral microbiome in patients with severe lower respiratory tract infections, using metagenomic sequencing. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
The human respiratory tract is heavily exposed to microorganisms. Viral respiratory tract pathogens, like RSV, influenza and rhinoviruses cause major morbidity and mortality from respiratory tract disease.
