This study provides an in-depth analysis of the distinct consequences of the opioid drugs morphine and fentanyl during opioid-induced respiratory depression (OIRD). We explored the physiological implications of both drugs on ventilation and airway patency in anaesthetized mice. Our results revealed a similar reduction in respiratory frequency with equivalent scaled dosages of fentanyl and morphine, though the onset of suppression was more rapid with fentanyl. Additionally, fentanyl resulted in transient airflow obstructions during the inspiratory cycle, which were absent following morphine administration...

Endotracheal intubation and invasive mechanical ventilation are fundamental components for the resuscitation of neurocritically ill patients to achieve various goals which include ensuring the protection of the airway, participating in tissue oxygen delivery and indirectly modulating cerebral vascular reactivity. The neurocritical patients demand special attention to their systemic involvement regarding weaning. Physician prompt clinical decision criteria (PPC) can play a better role in weaning of such patients...

The 2023 Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease (GOLD) report includes relevant topics from the clinician's perspective and evidence published on chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) since GOLD 2017. The World Health Organization (WHO) and GOLD 2023 have developed an updated definition of COPD as, "a heterogeneous lung condition characterized by chronic respiratory symptoms (dyspnea, cough, expectoration, exacerbations) due to abnormalities of the airway (bronchitis, bronchiolitis) and/or alveoli (emphysema) that cause persistent, often progressive, airflow obstruction...

There are many possible causes of congenital neck masses, with the most common ones being thyroglossal duct cysts, branchial cleft anomalies, and vascular malformations. Most congenital neck masses are asymptomatic in the neonatal period, but depending on the location and the size, they can cause airway obstruction and serious complications at birth. Proper diagnosis is important for optimal treatment planning, and if the airway is compromised, multidisciplinary teamwork is critical for proper airway management...

Foreign body airway obstruction (FBAO) is a relatively common emergency and a potential cause of sudden death both in children and older people; bystander immediate action will determine the victim's outcome. Although many school children's basic life support (BLS) training programs have been implemented in recent years, references to specific training on FBAO are lacking. Therefore, the aim was to assess FBAO-solving knowledge acquisition in 10-13-year-old school children. A quasi-experimental non-controlled simulation study was carried out on 564 ten-to-thirteen-year-old children from 5 schools in Galicia (Spain)...

STUDY OBJECTIVES: Limited channel electroencephalography (EEG) investigations in obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) have revealed deficits in slow wave activity (SWA) and spindles during sleep and increased EEG slowing during resting wakefulness. High-density EEG (Hd-EEG) has also detected local parietal deficits in SWA (delta power) during NREM. It is unclear whether effective continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) treatment reverses regional SWA deficits, and other regional sleep and wake EEG abnormalities, and whether any recovery relates to improved overnight memory consolidation...

BACKGROUND: The carbonic anhydrase inhibitor sulthiame (STM) reduces obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) severity, increases overnight oxygenation and improves sleep quality. Insights into how STM modulates OSA pathophysiology (endotypic traits) adds to our understanding of the breathing disorder itself, as well as the effects of carbonic anhydrases in respiratory regulation. RESEARCH QUESTION: How does STM treatment modify endotypic traits in OSA? STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS: Per protocol tertiary analysis of a randomized controlled trial with the inclusion criteria: BMI ≥20 to ≤35 kg/m2 , age 18-75 years, apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) ≥15/h, Epworth sleepiness scale ≥6 as well as non-acceptance or non-tolerance of positive airway pressure treatment...

In the age of surfactant and antenatal steroids, neonatal care has improved outcomes of preterm infants dramatically. Since the early 2000's neonatologists have strived to decrease bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) by decreasing ventilator-associated lung injury and utilizing many novel modes of non-invasive respiratory support. After the initial success with nasal continuous positive airway pressure, it was established that discontinuing invasive ventilation early in favor of non-invasive respiratory support is the most effective way to reduce the incidence of BPD...

Structure-function relationships occur throughout the sciences. Motivated by optimisation of such systems, we develop a framework for estimating the input modes from the singular value decomposition from the action of the forward operator alone. These can then be used to determine the input (structure) changes which induce the largest output (function) changes. The accuracy of the estimate is determined by reference to the method of snapshots. The proposed method is demonstrated on several example problems, and finally used to approximate the optimal airway treatment set for a problem in respiratory physiology...

BACKGROUND: Inhaled corticosteroids (ICSs) are associated with an increased risk of pneumonia among patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The introduction of extrafine particle ICS has aimed to improve the distribution of medicine in the airways by altering deposition within the lungs, potentially affecting efficacy and side effects. It remains unclear if extrafine particle ICS administration alters the risk of pneumonia compared with standard particle size ICS. METHODS: An observational cohort study including all Danish COPD outpatients receiving ICS from 2010 to 2017...

Major defects of the facial structures cause severe functional and aesthetic impairment. Difficulty in head and neck reconstruction lies in cases of secondary, tertiary, or further reconstruction. This is not a rare situation for patients who had cancer of the upper airways, since the rate of recurrence, second location, or osteoradionecrosis is high. Multiple surgeries and radiation therapy cause significant fibrosis and scar tissues, making any further reconstruction a major challenge for the surgeon when operating patients with vessel- depleted neck...

Allergic disorders are caused by a combination of hereditary and environmental factors. The hygiene hypothesis postulates that early-life microbial exposures impede the development of subsequent allergic disease. Recently developed "wildling" mice are genetically identical to standard laboratory specific pathogen-free (SPF) mice but are housed under seminatural conditions and have rich microbial exposures from birth. Thus, by comparing conventional SPF mice with wildlings, we can uncouple the impact of lifelong microbial exposures from genetic factors on the allergic immune response...
