Limits of effective cough-augmentation techniques in patients with neuromuscular disease.
BACKGROUND Manual and mechanical cough-augmentation techniques can improve peak cough flow (PCF) in patients with respiratory insufficiency caused by neuromuscular disease. METHODS We studied cough-augmentation techniques in 179 clinically stable patients with various neuromuscular diseases. We measured vital capacity (VC), maximum expiratory pressure (MEP), and PCF, with and without 3 cough-...
متن کاملCough augmentation with mechanical insufflation/exsufflation in patients with neuromuscular weakness.
Adults and children with neuromuscular disease exhibit weak cough and are susceptible to recurrent chest infections, a major cause of morbidity and mortality. Mechanical insufflation/exsufflation may improve cough efficacy by increasing peak cough flow. It was hypothesised that mechanical insufflation/exsufflation would produce a greater increase in peak cough flow than other modes of cough aug...
متن کاملEquipment options for cough augmentation, ventilation, and noninvasive interfaces in neuromuscular respiratory management.
This is a summary of the presentation on equipment options for cough augmentation, ventilation, and noninvasive interfaces in neuromuscular respiratory management presented as part of the program on pulmonary management of pediatric patients with neuromuscular disorders at the 30th annual Carrell-Krusen Neuromuscular Symposium on February 20, 2008.
متن کاملTechniques for augmentation of exogenous DNA uptake by ovine spermatozoa
Sperm mediated gene transfer can be an inexpensive and simple method in animal transgenesis; however its efficiency is poor, mainly due to the spermatozoa’s lesser uptake of exogenous DNA. In the present study, the effects of lipofection and other augmentation techniques, such as sperm freezing and spermatozoa treatment with triton X100 and DMSO, on exogenous DNA uptake by sheep spermatozoa and...

In October 2003, the first functional load-bearing and energetically autonomous exoskeleton, called the Berkeley Lower Extremity Exoskeleton (BLEEX) was demonstrated, walking at the average speed of two miles per hour while carrying 75 pounds of load. BLEEX is a load-carrying and energetically autonomous human exoskeleton that, in this first generation prototype, carries up to a 34 kg (75 lb) p...
