Electronic cigarette (e-cigarette) use has risen rapidly over the past decade, particularly among adolescents and young adults, driven by perceptions of reduced harm compared with combustible cigarettes. Despite the abse...

Introduction: Pneumothorax in premature neonates remains a significant clinical issue, especially when linked to respiratory distress syndrome and systemic inflammation. Providing early respiratory support and customized...

The article stresses that the state of the cardiovascular system determines the level of physical performance. Maintaining the required level of metabolic processes is necessary for efficient mechanisms of energy supply ...

Abstract Background The pathogenic role of mycoplasmas in the lower respiratory tract (LRT) of dogs is debated, because mycoplasmas can be isolated from both healthy and sick dogs. Objectives To critically assess availab...

The aim of this work was the cloning of those transmembrane glycoproteins G and F from an isolate bovine respiratory syncytial viruses (BRSV) - a Brazilian isolate of BRSV, named BRSV-25-BR in previous studies, in a prok...

Abstract Effective respiratory therapy relies heavily on inhaler device efficiency and patient technique. While device performance is well-documented in idealized induction ports, there remains a critical lack of data in...

Abstract BackgroundAcute respiratory infections (ARIs) remain a significant global health challenge and are the second leading cause of disease burden and mortality. Early warning systems (EWS) play a key rol...

Objectives: To describe the post-marketing safety profile of respiratory syncytial virus prefusion F (RSVpreF) vaccine among pregnant individuals.Design: This study analysed adverse event (AE) reports submitted to the U....

The objectives of the present study were to determine the effect of passive immune transfer on growth, morbidity and mortality, and to evaluate a simplified score system for diagnosis of respiratory disease in dairy calv...

ABSTRACT The avian embryo is a time-honored animal model for understanding vertebrate development. A key area of extensive study using bird embryos centers on developmental phenotypic plasticity of the cardio-respiratory...

Abstract Background A point‐of‐care ultrasound (POCUS) protocol for evaluation of the cardiac and respiratory systems in horses does not exist. Objectives (a) Describe the windows of a POCUS protocol for cardiorespir...

Infectious diseases of the respiratory system are important in intensive swine production. Fosfomycin is a widely used antibiotic for the treatment of swine lung infections. The aim of this research was to study the pene...

Abstract Background Most households in developing countries like India are not able to afford to get the services of efficient energy for cooking and lighting. Therefore, they rely mostly on solid fuels (firewood, dung c...

ObjectiveThis systematic review and meta-analysis aims to evaluate the effects of Tai Chi Chuan on the expression of pro-inflammatory genes IL-6, IL-1β, and TNF-α—downstream of the NF-κB pathway—in adults with chr...

Rationale: Excessive stress (distending pressure), strain (volume deformation), and drop in inspiratory alveolar pressure are proposed mechanisms for patient self-inflicted lung injury. Objectives: To dissect the influe...

ABSTRACT The epidemiologic, clinical, pathological, immunohistochemical, and microbiological findings of aspergillosis in birds in northeastern Brazil are described in this study. From January 2000 to December 2022 the L...

The paper aims to analyse the trends in mortality of men and women aged 65 and more in the Lodz region in the period 1999–2013, with particular emphasis on the phenomenon of excess male mortality. A complete database o...

Nine lactating Holstein cows with average 526 ± 5 kg of BW, five predominantly black and four predominantly white, bred in a tropical region and managed in open pasture were observed to measure cutaneous and respiratory...

Data on the occurrence of cancers in dogs and cats from the Metropolitan Mesoregion of Belém are not available in the literature. This paper describes the occurrence of neoplasms in these species from 2005 to 2010. The ...

Abstract Nasal mites (Mesostigmata: Rhinonyssidae) are obligatory endoparasites of birds, and the resulting parasitism can be harmful to the host’s respiratory system. The nasal mite Sternostoma tracheacolum Lawrence h...

The acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) was defined in 1994 by the American-European Consensus Conference (AECC); since then, issues regarding the reliability and validity of this definition have emerged. Using a ...

Abstract Respiratory–swallowing coordination is critical for safe swallowing. Respiratory phase patterns, indicating the direction of respiration bracketing swallowing, appear minimally altered when oral airflow is mea...

ABSTRACT Respiratory infections are considered the leading cause of mortality among communicable diseases in indigenous populations, becoming a public health issue. This case study was conducted in Amaturá municipality ...

Abstract Background Understanding how the respiratory microbiota matures with age is key to improving poultry health and pathogen surveillance, yet the ecological processes shaping this transition remain elusive. We aime...
