Developmental changes in upper airway dynamics
(Amer Physiological Soc, 2004-07-01)
Normal children have a less collapsible upper airway in response to subatmospheric pressure administration (P-NEG) during steep than normal adults do, and this upper airway response appears to be modulated by the central ...
Aerobic training reverses airway inflammation and remodelling in an asthma murine model
(EUROPEAN RESPIRATORY SOC JOURNALS LTD, 2010)
Aerobic training (AT) decreases dyspnoea and exercise-induced bronchospasm, and improves aerobic capacity and quality of life; however, the mechanisms for such benefits remain poorly understood. The aim of the present study ...
Does rapid maxillary expansion increase nasopharyngeal space and improve nasal airway resistance?
(ELSEVIER IRELAND LTD, 2011)
Objective: To evaluate the effect of rapid maxillary expansion (RME) on the dimension of the nasopharyngeal space and its relation to nasal airway resistance. Methods: Twenty-five school-age children (from 7 to 10 year-old) ...
Volumetric upper airway assessment in patients with transverse maxillary deficiency after surgically assisted rapid maxillary expansion
(Churchill Livingstone, 2014-05-01)
Transverse maxillary deficiency is commonly found in patients with sleep apnea and is also related to abnomial breathing patterns. Maxillary expansion procedures promote widening of the nasal floor and reduce the resistance ...
Long-Term Oral Appliance Therapy Improves Daytime Function and Mood in Upper Airway Resistance Syndrome Patients
(Oxford Univ Press Inc, 2017)
Objectives: To evaluate the long-term effects of an oral appliance on clinical symptoms, respiratory sleep parameters, sleep quality, and sustained attention in patients with upper airway resistance syndrome (UARS) were ...
Development of a biomedical device to measure the airway resistance of the respiratory system
(Universidad EIAIngeniería BiomédicaEscuela de Ciencias de la VidaEnvigado (Antioquia, Colombia), 2021)
ABSTRACT: Obstructive pulmonary diseases are one of the leading causes of death in the world each year. Pulmonary function tests are used by specialists for the diagnosis and monitoring of these diseases. In this project, ...
Open and Closed Endotracheal Suction Systems Divergently Affect Pulmonary Function in Mechanically Ventilated Subjects
(Daedalus Enterprises Inc, 2021-05-01)
BACKGROUND: In mechanically ventilated subjects, intra-tracheal secretions can be aspirated with either open suction systems (OSS) or closed suction systems (CSS). In contrast to CSS, conventional OSS require temporarily ...
