The effect of oropharyngeal exercise in patients with moderate and severe obstructive sleep apnea using CPAP: a randomized controlled study.

Purpose: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is an important public health problem. Beyond common treatment options, solution-oriented options are needed. Oropharyngeal exercise training may be a research area in this respect.

The effect of Oxygen application with nCPAP for the prevention of desaturation during EBUS-TBNA.

Purpose: EBUS-TBNA is a frequently used diagnostic method for mediastinal/hilar lymphadenopathies and masses. This procedure is performed with intravenous sedation (IVS). During IVS, patients often develop hypoxemia and nasal oxygen delivery is insufficient in some patients.

Efficacy of thymoquinone in the treatment of experimental lipopolysaccharide-induced acute lung injury.

Introduction: Acute lung injury (ALI) and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) are acute onset syndromes affecting the lungs, which develop for several reasons and are characterized by hypoxemia and diffuse lung infiltration. The activity of thymoquinone (TQ) is known in acute lung injury. It is considered that it could be effective in ALI/ARDS treatment by ensuring possible COX-2 inhibition.

Effect of Nasal Continuous Positive Airway Pressure Therapy on the Functional Respiratory Parameters and Cardiopulmonary Exercise Test in Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome.

Objectives: Nasal continuous positive airway pressure (nCPAP) treatment is the gold standard treatment for obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS). In this study, we aimed to show that the pulmonary functions, exercise limitation on the cardiopulmonary exercise test (CPET), and the health-related quality of life can be improved after a short treatment period by nCPAP.

Materials And Methods: Our case group with severe obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) performed incremental CPET before and after 8 weeks of nCPAP treatment.

The role of molds in the relation between indoor environment and atopy in asthma patients.

Background: The effect of mold fungi to allergic sensitization is not well-known. We aimed to evaluate the role of molds in the relation between indoor environment and atopy in asthmatics.

Materials And Methods: The air samples obtained from 66 stable asthmatics and 35 control subject's houses were sprayed into Sabouraud dextrose agar.
