Primary spontaneous pneumothorax (PSP) is the presence of air in the pleural space, occurring in the absence of trauma and known lung disease. Standardized expert guidelines on PSP are needed due to the variety of diagnostic methods, therapeutic strategi
Barth syndrome (BTHS) is a rare disorder caused by mutations in the TAFAZZIN gene. Previous studies from both patients and model systems have established metabolic dysregulation as a core component of BTHS pathology. In particular, features such as lacti
Again secondary hypertension cannot be cured, but can be controlled in the initial stages with prescription drugs. The prognosis is not good as a very large number of these patients ultimately end up with stroke and / or permanent kidney damage some time during their lifetime – it is only ...
The ___ cells are believed to be the primary source of pulmonary surfactant. Alveoli: The alveoli of the lungs are the locations where oxygen gas from the air is exchanged with carbon dioxide from the blood. The epithelium of the alveoli consists of two types of cel...
targeting the trunk muscles of bowed-string players. As a whole, we think that the constrained condition of our experiment altered the natural musicians’ action/perception cycle in a way that could be referred to as a “phenomenological experience on non-sense”107. If cognition is our way ...

Although breathing patterns are to an extent determined, or at least limited, by pathophysiological processes such as airflow obstruction and abnormal lung compliance, breathing pattern can be modified by conscious attention or training to influence use of inspiratory and expiratory muscles.13 For ...
However, it was stated that a course of antibiotics might be initiated in all patients with a severe exacerbation, characterised by heavy dyspnoea, use of accessory muscles, respiratory rate >30/min and heart rate >120/min (Table 2). Characteristics of the primary evidence supporting ...
