ABSTRACT Background Thoracic ultrasonography (TUS) could improve antibiotic treatment selection in cattle with respiratory diseases. Hypothesis/Objectives Evaluate the association between respiratory pathogens and consol...

Abstract Background Prone positioning is recommended for patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome not only to improve oxygenation, but also to reduce lung stress, and lower mortality. The association between imp...

Abstract Background Differentiating cardiogenic vs noncardiogenic causes of respiratory signs can be challenging when echocardiography is unavailable. Radiographic vertebral left atrial size (VLAS) and vertebral heart si...

Background. Respiratory infections remain a major global health burden with significant economic impact. The di-versity of viral pathogens and variability in diagnostic approaches complicate etiological verification in l...

The composition of the upper respiratory tract (URT) microbiota is shaped by both anatomical niches and host immune defenses. Older adults (>65 years) are at greatest risk of acquiring severe URT infections. However, ver...

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. There is a lac...

Early ethanol exposure alters neonatal breathing plasticity. Respiratory EtOH's effects are attributed to central respiratory network disruptions, particularly in the medullary serotonin (5HT) system. In this study we ev...

Objective To compare the effects of eccentric cycling (ECC), concentric cycling (CON), and standard care (CTL) on cardiopulmonary capacity, respiratory health, and quality of life (QoL) in patients with chronic kidney di...

Abstract Background Bovine respiratory disease (BRD) is a major problem affecting beef cattle after arrival to feedlots. Alternatives to antibiotics are needed for prevention. Hypothesis Stimulation of pulmonary innate i...

Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of manual diaphragmatic relaxation combined with diaphragmatic breathing on respiratory muscle strength, pulmonary function, chest expansion, and sitting ab...

Abstract Background Prolonged exposure to environmental antigens or allergens elicits an immune response in both healthy horses and those with mild asthma. Corticosteroids often are used to treat lower airway inflammatio...

This study aims to compare the concentration of viable fungi, especially those of the genus Aspergillus in the respiratory tract of stabled horses with and without Recurrent Airway Obstruction (RAO). Thirty two housed ho...

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...

OBJECTIVE: Oxidative stress has been found to be associated with diabetes mellitus (DM) and its complications. Exhaled breath condansate (EBC) is a method based on air cooling and condensation. This study aims to investi...

Abstract We present MIMIC-III-Ext-PPG, a large-scale, quality-assessed photoplethysmography (PPG) dataset derived from the matched waveform subset of MIMIC-III. Our dataset provides 30-second PPG segments with annotation...

BackgroundN-acetylcysteine (NAC) is a key precursor of glutathione (GSH), the lung’s principal antioxidant. First developed as a mucolytic, NAC is now recognized for broader antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, immunomodula...

The pandemic of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS2) affected the geriatric population. Among research models, Golden Syrian hamsters (GSH) are one of the most representative to study SARS2 pathogenesi...

Objectives The prognostic implications of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) in patients with non-tuberculous mycobacterial pulmonary disease (NTM-PD) remain unclear. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of RA on survival outc...

Efficient and eco-friendly disinfection of air-borne human respiratory RNA viruses is pursued in both public environment and portable usage. The AlGaN-based deep ultraviolet (DUV) light-emission diode (LED) has high prac...

Abstract Chronic respiratory diseases (CRDs), particularly asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), impose significant burdens on patients and their families in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). L...

Background and Literature ReviewHypereosinophilic syndrome (HES) is a rare, heterogeneous group of disorders defined by persistent hypereosinophilia (>1,500 cells/µL) with eosinophil-mediated end-organ damage. Its estim...

BACKGROUND: Traditional approaches to mechanical ventilation use tidal volumes of 10 to 15 ml per kilogram of body weight and may cause stretch-induced lung injury in patients with acute lung injury and the acute respira...
