introduction: tuberculosis (tb), with different types of respiratory tract involvements, has a high rate of mortality all around the world. endobronchial involvement, which is a slightly common tuberculous infection, requires special attention due to its severe complications such as bronchostenosis. aim of study of this study was describes, one type of pulmonary tuberculosis with less diagnosed...

Background: Weaning from mechanical ventilation in the intensive care unit is an important step in the treatment process. More patients in less than 6 hours after cardiac surgery can be separated from mechanical ventilation and extubated. However, 20-40% of patients after cardiac surgery, due to dysfunctional ventilator weaning response (DVWR), still remain under mechanical ventilation. Therefo...

ventilation tube (vt) insertion is the most common otologic operations performed in children, which has great importance in recovery and prevention of hearing loss in children with eustachian tube dysfunction in critical ages of growth development. the location of the vt insertion varies in different studies; the differences are in recovery rates and sequelae of vt insertion. this study is perf...

conclusions pressure support ventilation, but not spontaneous breathing, induces a significant redistribution of ventilation towards the ventral region. the sensitivity of the support trigger appears to influence the distribution of ventilation only during the early phase of inspiration. background in supine position, pressure support ventilation causes a redistribution of ventilation towards t...

modeling of relationship between ventilation rate of buildings and sick building syndrome symptoms hosseinpoor s , gholamiborujeni f *, mohammadian y received: 22 aug, 2013 accepted: 23 oct , 2013 abstract background & aims: indoor air pollution with microbilal, chemical and physical pollutants lead to sick building syndrome (sbs). suitable ventilation of buildings, is one of the best methods t...

welders may suffer from welding fumes generated during the process if the ventilation systems are improperly applied. the objective of the present work was to study the mitigation of air pollutants at welding stations, using different ventilation scenarios. four air pollutants including iron oxide, respirable dust, ozone, and carbon monoxide were measured during four different ventilation scena...

conclusions: rsbi and apache ii score in patients with copd exacerbation are of the ability to predict niv requirement, as a predicting factor of non-invasive ventilation requirement. results: patients requiring niv included 43.9 % of all studied patients. rsbi and apache ii score with sensitivity of 94.8 %, (cut off point = 110) and 72 % (cut off point = 14) respectively, had high diagnostic s...

results sixty patients were involved in this study. in asv mode, values including peak airway pressure (p-peak), end-tidal carbon dioxide (etco2), tidal volume and respiratory dead space were significantly lower than simv mode. although the mean value for dynamic compliance had no significant difference in the two types of ventilation, it was better in asv mode. methods in a crossover study, pa...

background: methanol is a colorless and poisonous liquid that is commonly used as an industrial and household solvent. methanol poisoning is a rare but extremely hazardous form of in toxication that affects the central nervous system and causes visual disorder, drowsiness, seizures and coma.  case presentation: a 29-years-old man with methanol intoxication presented with drowsiness and acidosis...
