A European survey of Non- Invasive Ventilation (NIV)
Although non-invasive ventilation (NIV) is becoming very popular, little is known about its pattern of clinical and technical utilization in the different environments. We conducted a web-based survey in Europe to identify the perceived pattern of NIV utilization and the reason for choosing a …

VIRUS-HOST INTERACTIONS AND THE IMPACT ON HOST CELLULAR MECHANISMS
… that includes the emergent and deadly Nipah (NiV) and Hendra (HeV) viruses. These viruses possess substantial pandemic potential and exhibit an expansive host range, a characteristic underpinned by their conserved ephrin receptors. Being a highly virulent zoonotic pathogen, NiV has caused …

Elucidating Mechanisms of Immunity to Nipah Virus Infection through Generation of Attenuated Viruses and a Single-Cycle Vectored Vaccine
Nipah virus (NiV) is an emerging paramyxovirus that has caused outbreaks with high case-fatality rates in South and Southeast Asia. Mechanisms of NiV virulence are poorly understood, and there is no licensed vaccine nor treatment. Accessory proteins produced from the NiV P gene through …

A qualitative study into the communication surrounding the initiation and withdrawal of non-invasive ventilation (NIV) in people with Motor Neurone Disease
… can be provided with non-invasive ventilation (NIV), which is offered to people with MND when symptoms of respiratory distress become evident. It is recommended that end-of-life communication, encompassing the benefits and burdens of symptom-relieving interventions (NIV and percutaneous …

Exploring Nipah virus strain differences through use of recombinant and chimeric viruses as well as utilization of a novel 3D human lung model
Nipah virus (NiV) is a highly pathogenic paramyxovirus that causes lethal encephalitis and respiratory illness in humans. There are two variants of NiV - NiV Malaysia (NiVM) and NiV Bangladesh (NiVB). Despite high sequence homology between the strains, there are several key differences in …

Non-ionic surfactant vesicles as an Amphotericin B inhaled delivery system for the treatment of leishmaniasis
… inhaled AmB non-ionic surfactant vesicles (AmB-NIV) were assessed as an alternative AmB formulation, which should reduce costs, enhance drug bioavailability and stability and allow a non-invasive route of administration. AmB-NIV formulations (freshly prepared or lyophilised and …

Non-invasive ventilation during paediatric retrieval: a systematised review
… emergency settings, non-Invasive ventilation (NIV) is increasingly used in neonatal and paediatric patients as an alternative to invasive positive pressure ventilation (IPPV). Critically ill children and babies may need transfer to higher levels of care, but the emergency transport setting is …

Investigation of minor groove binders (MGB), non-ionic surfactant vesicles (NIV) delivery systems and IL-4i1 as novel pathogen- and host-directed drug therapy for tuberculosis
… of MGBs into non- ionic surfactant vesicles (NIVs) demonstrated a 1.6- and 2.1-fold increased intracellular mycobacterial activity, similar to that of rifampicin when compared with MGB alone. Treatment with MGB 364 or MGB 364 formulation did not cause DNA damage in murine infected macrophages …
