Subject-Specific Activation of Central Respiratory Centers during Breath-Holding Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging
Conclusion: Our study shows that BH paradigm allows to reliably trigger fMRI response from brainstem and cortical areas involved in respiratory control at the individual level, suggesting that it might serve as a clinically relevant biomarker to investigate conditions associated with an altered central control of respiration.Respiration (Source: Respiration)

Bronchoscopic Measurement of Collateral Ventilation: State of the Art
Endoscopic lung volume reduction procedure with valves is a well-studied treatment option for advanced lung emphysema to target lung hyperinflation in carefully selected patients with COPD. Before valve implantation, collateral ventilation (CV) of the target lobe needs to be assessed to obtain an optimal treatment effect. The analysis of CV according to current standards occurs via an in vivo assessment with the Chartis ®system (PulmonX Inc., Redwood City, CA, USA) and a computed tomography (CT) scan of the thorax with interlobar fissure analysis. The focus of this review is to provide detailed information about the Chart...

Home Use of Mechanical Insufflation/Exsufflation in Adult Patients in Western Switzerland
Conclusion: Regular home MI-E use was associated with greater symptom burden and overall satisfaction with the device and was not influenced by baseline CPF. Patients without substantial bronchorrhea might not use the MI-E regularly but might still need to use the device at home during acute events. Therefore, familiarity with the MI-E via appropriate and repeated practical training is crucial.Respiration (Source: Respiration)
