Computer display height and desk design are believed to be important workstation features and are included in international standards and guidelines. However, the evidence base for these guidelines is lacking a comparison of neck/shoulder muscle activity during computer and paper tasks and whether forearm support can be provided by desk design. This study measured the spinal and upper limb musc...

This is a case report of microwave energy being used to ablate an inoperable metastasis of a Wilms' tumour in a 6-year-old boy using state-of-the-art navigated computed tomography targeting and high-frequency jet ventilation to reduce organ displacement and the potential risk of procedure-related pneumothorax. After the ablation, the young boy had high-dose chemotherapy followed by an autologou...

Introduction Proportional Assist Ventillation (PAV) is a patient and user friendly mode of spontaneous mechanical ventilation which uses dynamic feedback of respiratory parameters to support the effort and assess the consequent workload overcomed by the patient ́s respiratory muscles to which diaphragm contributes the most. The relationship of Pmus [1] (respiratory muscle pressure) and diaphragm...

With the COVID-19 pandemic sweeping worldwide, much attention has been paid to infectious viruses. Because of different sizes pathogen-carrying droplets exhaled by individuals infected with COVID-19, influence gravity and inertia on varies, which leads modes transmission virus. Ventilation changes air distribution in a room, affects virus transmission. An appropriate ventilation method that red...
