Stroke is a major public health problem and stroke patients suffer much mortality and morbidity due to chest infections, especially in the acute period. Chest infections are associated with respiratory muscle weakness and poor cough. We studied ischaemic hemispheric stroke patients within two weeks of their first-ever stroke to investigate their respiratory physiology, volitional and non-volitional respiratory muscle strength and voluntary and reflex cough function. -- Patients were weak on voluntary but not involuntary tests of expiratory muscle function.

Airway pressure release ventilation (APRV) is a promising, unconventional mode of ventilation for the treatment of various respiratory diseases, including acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). However, despite increasing global use and reported advantages of APRV over other modes, definitive conclusions cannot be drawn due to several concerns. First, the major confusion between APRV and other, similar modes, such as bi-phasic positive airway pressure (BIPAP). Second, clinical and methodological heterogeneity among published studies of APRV are understandably extensive, which contributes

Respiratory gating in lung PET imaging to compensate for respiratory motion artifacts is a current research issue with broad potential impact on quantitation, diagnosis and clinical management of lung tumors.

Background: Positive expiratory pressure (PEP) and continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) are two forms of resistance breathing used in spontaneously breathing patients. With a threshold resistor or a flow resistor, both PEP and CPAP provide a positive (elevated) pressure level during the expiratory phase. With PEP, inspiratory pressure is negative, i.e. lower than ambient air pressure, as during a normal inspiration, but with CPAP, the inspiratory pressure is positive, i.e. higher than ambient air pressure.

Abstract:
Inhaled drug delivery is currently the gold standard for treating many respiratory diseases. However, improved treatments are needed for lung diseases like Cystic Fibrosis (CF) and Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS), where mucus or fluid build-up in the lung limits ventilation and, thus, delivery of inhaled drugs. Delivery is most needed in the diseased or damaged regions of the lung, but if an area is not ventilated, inhaled drug will simply not reach it. To overcome this, this research proposes delivering drugs to the lungs within a perfluorocarbon (PFC) liquid. The lungs will be fil
