BACKGROUND Inner retinal oxygenation response (ΔPO(2)) is a worldwide study focus. However, the relevant reports on its radiological measurements are limited. In this study, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), employing T1 weighted image (T1WI), was used to detect changes in ΔPO(2) following 100% oxygen inhalation in human subjects. METHODS MRI was performed on a 1.5-T GE scanner system. After ...

background and purpose: oxygen therapy is one of the common treatments for neonates with cardiopulmonary disease. the aim of this study was to evaluate adherence to oxygen therapy standards by nurses before, during and after using oxygen hood. methods: in this cross-sectional study, 250 cases of nursing care were evaluated before, during and after administration of oxygen hood therapy in preter...

The research aimed to explore the clinical effect of atomized budesonide and terbutaline inhalation for acute pediatric asthma. Ninety children with mild or moderate asthma treated in our hospital from January 2019 December were selected as study subjects divided into observation group control according using random number table, 45 patients each group. On attack asthma, both groups received tr...

Sir, Aspirin is a non-selective inhibitor of cyclooxygenase (Cox) enzyme, which inhibits production of prostaglandins. Several anaphylactic reactions have been reported in response to aspirin therapy, viz asthma, angioneurotic swelling, urticaria, fixed drug eruptions etc. We are reporting an unusual case of acute respiratory distress syndrome (non-cardiogenic pulmonary edema) caused due to hyp...

Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), defined as elevated pulmonary arterial pressure and pulmonary vascular resistance, is an end-point of a variety of conditions. The only therapy that has been shown to improve both quality of life and survival is intravenous prostacyclin (prostaglandin I2 (PGI2), epoprostenol). The effect of long-term aerosolized iloprost (Ilomedin, Schering, Berlin, German...

BACKGROUND Adrenomedullin (AM) is a potent pulmonary vasodilator peptide. However, whether intratracheal delivery of aerosolized AM has beneficial effects in patients with idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension remains unknown. Accordingly, we investigated the effects of AM inhalation on pulmonary hemodynamics and exercise capacity in patients with idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension...

TRAINING PROGRAM OF GRADED EXERcise while breathing oxygen is employed in patients with pulmonary emphysema in whom physical unfitness has been induced by excessive rest. Dyspnea on exertion naturally leads to inactivity which in itself promotes weakness, cardiovascular insufficiency and certain adverse biochemical changes, such as loss of nitrogen, calcium and potassium. Although walking abili...

To the Editoij, "Indian Medical gazette." Sir,?Recently reading in the British Medical Journal the successful treatment of pneumonia by the inhalation of oxygen, it struck me that the gas might be useful in the collapse stage of cholera, and I therefore write to suggest to those who have an opportunity of obtaining the gas?the desirability of giving it a trial. In the case described by Dr. Hami...
