Electrical impedance tomography (EIT) is a non-invasive real-time non-ionising imaging modality that has many applications. Since the first recorded use in 1978, the technology has become more widely used especially in human adult and neonatal critical care monitoring. Recently, there has been an increase in research on thoracic EIT in veterinary medicine.

- * A study involving over 14,000 patients revealed that smokers were generally older, predominantly male, and had more underlying health issues, which contributed to their increased risk.
- * The research indicates that both current and former smokers are at a greater risk for complications after being hospitalized for COVID-19, highlighting smoking as a significant factor in disease severity.
Equine respiratory physiology might be influenced by the presence of an endotracheal tube (ETT). This experimental, randomized cross-over study aimed to compare breathing pattern (BrP) and ventilation distribution in anesthetized horses spontaneously breathing room air via ETT or facemask (MASK). Six healthy adult horses were anesthetized with total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA; xylazine, ketamine, guaiphenesin), breathing spontaneously in right lateral recumbency, and randomly assigned to ETT or MASK for 30 min, followed by the other treatment for an additional 30 min.

- Smoking is linked to more severe outcomes in COVID-19 patients, showing increased rates of ICU admissions and in-hospital mortality compared to non-smokers.
- A study of over 14,000 COVID-19 patients in Spain found that smokers were older, predominantly male, and had worse health profiles.
- The research suggests that both current and former smokers face a higher risk of complications from COVID-19, indicating that smoking is a significant factor in determining patient prognosis.
Habits of personal hygiene are mostly acquired during childhood, and are, therefore, influenced by one's family. Poor hygiene habits are a risk factor for preventable disease and social rejection. Social Determinants of Health (SDH) consist of contextual factors, structural mechanisms, and the individual's socioeconomic position, which, via intermediary determinants, result in inequities of health and well-being.
