The present paper studies the possibility of personalized ventilation (PV) systems to improve air quality in breathing zone astronauts resting crew quarters aboard International Space Station. In absence gravity CO2 accumulates pockets near astronaut's head, potentially leading symptoms intoxication. addition a PV system aimed at an during sleep could provide supply fresh directly face and redu...

We have created a low-cost and easy to make phantom for abscess identification using point-of-care ultrasound. The phantom also allows needle tracking and abscess aspiration using ultrasound guidance.

Objectives: Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization (DNS) approach evaluates and activates the spinal stabilizers to optimize the performance of posture and respiratory system. This study investigated the effects of DNS breathing exercises on upper and lower chest wall mobility (UCM and LCM), trunk extensor endurance, and thoracic kyphosis in a group of sedentary students with poor posture. Method...

results the mean age in breathing technique with lavender and breathing technique alone were 25.5 ± 4.3 and 26 ± 4.9, respectively .two groups were comparable in this regards (p = 0.6), but the length of active phase in interventional group was 7.85 ± 3.85 hours and in the control group it was 9.88 ± 6.65 hours. the decrease of the length of labor in the active phase was higher in the experimen...

The objective of this study was to investigate the importance room air distribution in airborne cross-infection. Tracer gas measurements were performed a field lab arranged as an office with two breathing thermal manikins. ventilated mixing operating at constant supply airflow rate 60 L/s (4 ACH) under different discharge scenarios: 2-way, 3-way and 4-way. Room temperature kept 22.0±0.2°C. Resp...
