Background and purpose: Stereotactic ablative body radiotherapy (SABR) achieves excellent local control in medically inoperable non-small cell lung cancer. However, treating central and ultra-central tumours carries sign...

The paper did a comparative analysis of the carbon emission and European Union Emission Trading Surcharges (EU ETS) of South African Airways (SAA) current fleet that used aviation jet A1 fuel and the same fleet if it had...

Background Heaves is a severe debilitating condition of horses, characterized by lower airway inflammation and permanent structural changes of the bronchial wall. Chronic inflammation promotes the formation of new vessel...

Background: Unanticipated difficult airways are an important cause of perioperative morbidity. No single bedside airway assessment test reliably predicts difficult intubation; therefore, combining simple predictors may i...

This literature review aims to synthesize current evidence on plastic bronchitis (PB), a disease characterized by varying degrees of branching cast formation in the airways. The rationale for undertaking this review stem...

Wildlife strikes represent a significant threat to aviation safety and economics, as evidenced by notable incidents such as the emergency landing of US Airways Flight 1549 in 2009. The Federal Aviation Administration (FA...

Birds represent a significant hazard to flying aircraft as illustrated by the “Miracle on the Hudson” encounter in 2009 between U.S. Airways Flight 1549 and a flock of Canada Geese, forcing the flight to ditch in the...

ABSTRACT Respiratory diseases have a major impact on sport horses and are often cited as the second most common reason for loss of training days and significant veterinary costs. Adult horses most commonly develop pneumo...

Abstract Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is an inflammatory lung disease caused by inhalation of noxious particles, most commonly cigarette smoking. The consequent changes in airways, lung parenchyma and pul...

In severe cases of COVID-19, glucocorticoid treatment improves clinical outcomes. However, in non-hospitalized patients, glucocorticoids have limited benefit and may impair viral clearance. Here, we used the rhesus macaq...

Bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) analysis provides critical insights into pulmonary inflammation by identifying cellular components and inflammatory mediators in the airways and alveoli. However, variations in BALF co...

ABSTRACT Background and Aims Cardiac surgery patients often present challenging airways and limited cardiopulmonary reserves, necessitating meticulous preoperative assessment by the anesthesia team. This observational st...

ABSTRACT The larynx is part of the upper respiratory tract and is responsible for phonation. It allows air to pass between the pharynx and the trachea, but prevents food from entering the airways. Laryngeal neoplasms, in...

Abstract Introduction Difficult tracheal intubation remains a critical issue in airway management. While videolaryngoscopy (VL), particularly using hyperangulated blades such as the C-MAC D-Blade, has become the gold sta...

Abstract Background There are limited data on potential dysbiosis of the airway microbiota in horses with asthma. Hypothesis/Objectives We hypothesized that the respiratory microbiota of horses with moderate asthma is al...

Various Lifestyle Factors of Flight Crew Members The main aim of the research was to analyze certain lifestyle factors of flight crew members. This profession has rather high demands relating to body type, basic skills,...

This study describes the antidiarrheal and airways-relaxant effects of the olive or Olea europea crude extract (Oe.Cr). Oe.Cr which tested positive for the presence of flavonoids and saponins, inhibited the castor oil-in...

The present study describes the in vivo bronchodilatory and analgesic activities of the crude extract of Hyoscyamus niger (Hn.Cr) and Aspalathus linearis (Al.Cr), which tested positive for alkaloids, coumarins, flavonoid...
