An alternative method to measure the diffusing capacity of the lung for carbon monoxide in infants.

Pediatric pulmonology
BACKGROUND: Lung diffusion assessed by the uptake of carbon monoxide (DL ) and alveolar volume (V ) by inert gas dilution are readily assessed in cooperative older subjects; however, obtaining these measurements in infants has been much more difficul...

Diagnosing asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease with machine learning.

Health informatics journal
This study examines the clinical decision support systems in healthcare, in particular about the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of respiratory diseases, such as Asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. The empirical pulmonology study of...

Respiratory Artefact Removal in Forced Oscillation Measurements: A Machine Learning Approach.

IEEE transactions on bio-medical engineering
GOAL: Respiratory artefact removal for the forced oscillation technique can be treated as an anomaly detection problem. Manual removal is currently considered the gold standard, but this approach is laborious and subjective. Most existing automated t...

Efficacy and safety of inhaled N-acetylcysteine in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis: A prospective, single-arm study.

Respiratory investigation
BACKGROUND: Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a progressive lung disease with few treatment options. The efficacy of N-acetylcysteine in patients with IPF remains controversial. The aim of this research was to investigate the efficacy of inhaled...

Feasibility of cardiopulmonary exercise testing and training using a robotics-assisted tilt table in dependent-ambulatory stroke patients.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
BACKGROUND: We evaluated the feasibility of an augmented robotics-assisted tilt table (RATT) for incremental cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) and exercise training in dependent-ambulatory stroke patients.

Capnodynamic assessment of effective lung volume during cardiac output manipulations in a porcine model.

Journal of clinical monitoring and computing
A capnodynamic calculation of effective pulmonary blood flow includes a lung volume factor (ELV) that has to be estimated to solve the mathematical equation. In previous studies ELV correlated to reference methods for functional residual capacity (FR...

Improvement in the Prediction of Ventilator Weaning Outcomes by an Artificial Neural Network in a Medical ICU.

Respiratory care
BACKGROUND: Twenty-five to 40% of patients pass a spontaneous breathing trial (SBT) but fail to wean from mechanical ventilation. There is no single appropriate and convenient predictor or method that can help clinicians to accurately predict weaning...

Effects of steep Trendelenburg position for robotic-assisted prostatectomies on intra- and extrathoracic airways in patients with or without chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

British journal of anaesthesia
BACKGROUND: The use of the steep Trendelenburg position and abdominal CO2-insufflation during surgery can lead to significant reduction in pulmonary compliance and upper airway oedema. The postoperative time course of these effects and their influenc...

AI-powered evaluation of lung function for diagnosis of interstitial lung disease.

Thorax
BACKGROUND: The diagnosis of interstitial lung disease (ILD) can pose a challenge as the pulmonary function test (PFT) is only minimally affected at the onset. To improve early diagnosis, this study aims to explore the potential of artificial intelli...
