ObjectiveTo identify sleep-disordered breathing phenotypes in older adults with depressive disorder and obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) and to evaluate their associations with systemic inflammation.Meth...

In human beings, intrarenal blood flow impedance, expressed as the resistive index (Rl) and obtained by duplex Doppler ultrasonography, has been used to aid in diagnosis and prognosis of renal failure. Higher than normal...

To assess the effects of an exercise training program combining power-oriented resistance training (RT) and high-intensity interval training (HIIT) on metabolic syndrome (MetS) markers in older people with COPD.

Abstract Background Inspiratory muscle training combined with positive expiratory pressure (IMT/PEP) may improve outcomes in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), but evidence in exacerbation‑prone (Group E) di...

Abstract Background Sliding hiatal herniation (SHH) and gastroesophageal reflux (GER) commonly occur in French bulldogs. Wireless pH monitoring can quantitatively assess acidic GER in dogs affected by SHH. Hypothesis/Obj...

Abstract Background Brachycephalic dogs display sleep‐disordered breathing (SDB). The risk factors for SDB remain unknown. Objectives To identify risk factors for SDB. We hypothesized that brachycephaly, increasing sev...

Abstract Objective This study aimed to explore the facilitative and obstructive factors of self-management in patients undergoing maintenance hemodialysis to provide a reference for improving patient self-management in C...

Obstructive sleep apnea(OSA) has multiple underlying mechanisms which vary across patients. In afflicted patients, the degree of abnormality in pharyngeal anatomy, dilator muscle function, ventilatory control instability...

A 63-year-old male with a history of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease was admitted for management of spontaneous pneumothorax with talc pleurodesis. Prior to the procedure, lidocaine local analgesia was administered...

Abstract Background Obesity in adults over 65 years is increasingly prevalent and linked to comorbidities like type 2 diabetes (T2D), hypertension (HTN), osteoarthritis (OA), and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), where cons...

Abstract Background The proportion of cats with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) that lose systolic anterior motion of the mitral valve (SAM) in the long term is unknown. Hypothesis/Objectives Cats with HCM will lose SA...

Abstract Background Mavacamten is a novel selective cardiac myosin inhibitor indicated for patients with obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (oHCM). Given its negative inotropic properties, which theoretically reduce...

Abstract Background Minimally invasive approaches are the standard for treatment of upper urinary tract uroliths in humans. Objective To describe the medical dissolution of upper urinary tract uroliths in a series of dog...

Abstract Purpose This study investigated particulate concentrations and respiratory biomarkers among chemical storekeepers in Ogbete Market, Enugu Nigeria to evaluate early indicators of airway injury relevant to occupat...

Abstract Background Interventional management of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease of the emphysema phenotype, include uniportal, non-intubated, video-assisted thoracic surgery (UNI-VATS) lung volume reduction surger...

Abstract Background Chronic conditions cause millions of deaths annually worldwide. Remote patient monitoring using wearable devices and sensors, combined with machine learning (ML), offers promising strategies for disea...

There is a clear association between primary headaches and sleep disorders, especially when these headaches occur at night or upon waking. The primary headaches most commonly related to sleep are: migraine, cluster heada...

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...

Abstract Background Infection is a significant complication of diabetes, yet comprehensive assessments of risk factors for infections in individuals with diabetes are scarce. We aimed to identify risk factor profiles and...

Secretory Leukocyte Peptidase Inhibitor (SLPI) functionality in health and disease: Secretory Leukocyte Peptidase Inhibitor (SLPI) is a serine protease inhibitor of cathepsin G, trypsin and chymotrypsin, but primarily ag...

Background A novel test using whole‐body barometric plethysmography (WBBP) was developed recently to diagnose brachycephalic obstructive airway syndrome (BOAS) in unsedated French bulldogs. Hypothesis/Objectives The hy...
