Humans have voluntary control over breathing and can change the volume of air brought into the alveoli by increasing the tidal volume up to the vital capacity (Fig. 2) (West, 2012). The minute ventilation is the product of the tidal volume and breathing frequency (Table 1). Changing minute...
Volume-rendered images showing the location (A) and detailed structures (B–I) of the spiracles in relation to the tubular tracheal system. Left-sagittal slice section of the head and thorax (A); left-lateral slice section of the prothoracic spiracle (B); dorso-ventral-oblique left-lateral ...
To decrease turnaround times, we used a 15-min protocol for human rRNA depletion and reduced incubation times for the reverse transcription and second-strand cDNA synthesis steps to 15 and 9 min, respectively. The final assay used 450 μL of sample input volume and consisted of the ...

sense of breathlessness, respiratory muscle function, and pulmonary function test values were measured, respectively, by exercise capacity (6-minute walking distance [6Mwd]), dyspnea score (Visual Analog Scale [Vas]), maximal inspiratory pressure (MIP), forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV 1...
This in turn led to nearly immediate exhaustion of global ICU capacity and requirement to maximally optimise distribution of already scarce resources. One of the greatest challenges faced by clinicians and policymakers was managing the constant rapidly escalating requirement for ICU beds. This led to ...

However, such Therefore, treatment generally needs to be tests cannot be performed easily in primary care. maintained at the same level over long periods of Table ...
