Nowadays, neoplasms have become the common surgical affections encountered in pet population, especially dogs. Skin are most neoplasm observed dogs, followed by mammary neoplasms. Most of may exhibit metastatic and paraneoplastic changes distant sites other than primary tumor sites, mainly thorax. The present study investigated evaluation radiographically evident cardio-pulmonary, thorax twenty...

External noise is introduced by computer-generated random levels of pressure assistance during noisy pressure support ventilation (PSV). In patients, noisy PSV was associated with higher tidal volume variability but not improved cardio-pulmonary function compared with conventional PSV. The potential role of noisy PSV in the management of critically ill patients requiring ventilatory support has...

The paper by GARCIA-RIO et al. [1] in this issue of the European Respiratory Journal provides good reference values for an under-represented population and an opportunity to review the role of reference values in interpreting lung function tests. The interpretation of all observed data involves comparisons with one or more types of reference data. In clinical medicine, the comparisons usually i...

volume 124 | number 9 | September 2016 • Environmental Health Perspectives PM2.5 and Kidney Function Long-Term Exposures May Lead to Modest Declines Exposure to fine particulate matter (PM2.5) is associated with cardio vascular health impacts including increased risk of irregular heartbeat and pulmonary embolism (arterial blockage). However, the relationship between PM2.5 and renal function, an...

OBJECTIVE Prolonged air leak (PAL) after pulmonary surgery is a frequent occurrence and is reported to cause increased length of stay (LOS) and hospital costs although the costs directly attributable to PAL have never been published. The present study aims to compare the prevalence of pulmonary complications (atelectasis, pneumonia and pleural empyema) in patients with or without PAL and to qua...
