Systematic review of economic evaluations for paediatric pulmonary diseases
Background Pulmonary diseases are the leading causes of mortality globally amongst children under five years of age. Economic evaluations (EEs) guide decision-makers on which health care intervention to adopt to reduce paediatric pulmonary disease burden. Methods We systematically reviewed EEs for …

Protease activity sensors for monivasive diagnosis and monitoring of pulmonary diseases
… Because proteases are implicated in multiple diseases, including cancer, activity-based nanosensors have the potential to enable quantitative, noninvasive, and real-time monitoring of disease activity.

A Comparison of Various Teaching Methods for Patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Diseases
… out whether patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (C.O.P.D.) learn more from auditory or from visual teaching. Of the 30 patients in the sample, 10 used a programmed instruction booklet, 10 used a taped recording of the same programmed material and 10 were in a control group which …

A software toolkit for acoustic respiratory analysis
Millions of Americans suffer from pulmonary diseases. According to recent statistics, approximately 17 million people suffer from asthma, 16.4 million from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, 12 million from sleep apnea, and 1.3 million from pneumonia - not to mention the prevalence of many …

Design and validation of mobile kit and machine learning algorithms for pulmonary disease screening and diagnosis
Pulmonary diseases are responsible for more than 15% of deaths worldwide. Much of this burden is concentrated in the developing world, where these diseases cause 19% of deaths. In much of the developing world, pulmonary diseases are under-diagnosed and misdiagnosed because the correct equipment is …

RF SENSORS FOR MEDICAL AND CYBER-PHYSICAL INTELLIGENCE
… and prognosis. This sensor has been applied to pulmonary diseases including COVID-19 and chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases (COPD) to help identify dyspneic exacerbation, leading to early intervention and possibly improving outcome. The sensor has also been applied to prevalent sleep …

The Role of Semaphorin-Neuropilin-1 Signalling in Pulmonary Vascular Development
Increasing evidence suggests that normal pulmonary vascular morphogenesis is critical for the formation and maintenance of the lung parenchyma, both pre- and postnatally. Indeed, the disruption of angiogenic pathways, whether through inherent genetic predisposition or as a consequence of …

Bayesian models for screening and diagnosis of pulmonary disease
Pulmonary and respiratory diseases comprise a large proportion of the global disease burden, responsible for both mortality and disability, with the most common ailments being asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder (COPD), and allergic rhinitis (AR). This burden is especially concentrated …

Numerical investigation of airflow and aerosol deposition characteristics within human airways
… is typically used for the treatment of several pulmonary diseases. In this study, large-eddy simulation (LES) is used for the numerical investigation of the airflow and the aerosol deposition characteristics within the upper human airways. LES is performed using the Eulerian-Lagrangian framework …

RESPIRABLE SIRNA TARGETING AT THE NF-KB PATHWAY PROTECTS AGAINST INFLAMMATORY LUNG DISEASES
Asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are common inflammatory pulmonary diseases. Cumulative evidences have shown the role of NF-kB signaling pathway in the pathogenesis of asthma and COPD. Ribosomal protein S3 (RPS3) is a subunit of NF-kB complex while receptor-interacting …

Improved Visualization and Quantification for Hyperpolarized 129Xe MRI
<p>In Pulmonary diseases, such as chronic obstructed pulmonary diseases (COPD), fibrosis, and asthma, are responsible for substantial health and financial burden in the world. In 2016, COPD claimed more than 3 million lives, which is also the 3rd leading cause of mortality. The treatment for …

Using machine learning for real-time activity recognition and estimation of energy expenditure
… to leading causes of death, such as heart and pulmonary diseases, stroke, and type 2 diabetes. The dramatic rise in obesity rates is attributed to an environment that provides easy access to high caloric food and drink and promotes low levels of physical activity. Unfortunately, many people …

An Evaluation of Household Energy Systems in the Himalayan Region
… air pollution, which cause respiratory and pulmonary diseases. While many improved stoves have been developed to increase cooking efficiency and reduce household air pollution levels, the Himalayan region presents unique implementation challenges in its remoteness and the high space heating …

Chemokinrezeptorexpression auf T-Zellen in bronchoalveolärer Lavage und peripherem Blut bei Kindern mit chronischer Bronchitis und interstitiellen Lungenerkrankungen
… selected T cells accumulate in inflammatory lung diseases involving different pulmonary compartments. To test this hypothesis the frequencies of chemokine receptor expressing T cells were compared in peripheral blood (PB) and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) of children with chronic bronchitis …

Translational Imaging of Pulmonary Gas-Exchange Using Hyperpolarized 129Xe Magnetic Resonance Imaging
<p>The diagnosis and treatment of pulmonary diseases still rely on pulmonary function tests that offer archaic or insensitive biomarkers of lung structure and function. As a consequence, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is the third leading cause of death in the US, and the hospitalization …

Pressure Ulcer Risk Factors for Patients with Hospital Versus Community Acquired Pressure Ulcers
… sepsis, cardiac and circulatory problems and pulmonary diseases. Hospital acquired pressure ulcers were significantly more likely to be unstageable with slough or eschar in the wound bed.

Using Matching Methods From Both Fisher's Experimental Design and Rubin's Causal Model to Compare Between Two Medical Facilities with Extremely Skewed Number of Subjects
… with patients diagnosed with cardiac and pulmonary issues who received treatment either in inpatient rehabilitation facilities (IRFs) or in skilled nursing facilities (SNFs). Due to inclusion and exclusion criteria, however, the study had failed to recruit sufficient number of participants …

Role of type I interferon in pulmonary inflammation and fibrosis
Pulmonary fibrosis is a severe and potentially fatal lung disorder characterized by progressive respiratory dysfunction, imposing significant burdens on both society and affected families. This condition frequently occurs secondary to other diseases, particularly autoimmune disorders, where the …
