background: nasal intermittent positive pressure ventilation (nippv) is a non-invasive ventilatory mode, which delivers mechanical ventilation via nasal tubes or prongs. the present study was conducted to compare the efficacy of nippv and nasal continuous positive airway pressure ventilation (ncpap) in reducing the need for intubation in preterm infants with respiratory distress syndrome (rds)....

Introduction: Fazio-Londe disease is a genetic rare disorder manifesting by acute respiratory distress.  This article is a case report of Fazio-Londe syndrome, its comparison with other case reports in the literature and its patient-centered nursing care.  Case presentation: In this study, we reported a case with Fazio-Londe syndrome with respiratory distress, bulbar palsy, muscle weakness, an...

Since its discovery, Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome (PRRS) has had a huge impact on the farming industry. The virus that causes PRRS is Reproductive Respiratory Syndrome Virus (PRRSV), because of genetic diversity complexity immune response, eradication been challenge. To provide scientific references for PRRSV control vaccine development, this study describes processes PRRSV-ind...

The recently emerged Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) emerged in the Middle East region in 2012. The virus is phylogenetically related to bat CoV, but other animal species like camels and goats may potentially act as an intermediate host by spreading the virus to humans. This virus is thought to cause a severe disease in patients with underlying comorbidities. Laboratory ...

This review documents important progress made in 2013 in the field of critical care respirology, in particular with regard to acute respiratory failure and acute respiratory distress syndrome. Twenty-five original articles published in the respirology and critical care sections of Critical Care are discussed in the following categories: pre-clinical studies, protective lung ventilation--how low...
