Lung resection would be associated with lower jugular bulb oxygen saturation (SjvO₂) values in patients with moderate to severe pulmonary dysfunction. We aimed to study the effects of lung resections on the postoperative changes in SjvO₂, incidence of SjvO₂ < 50%, pulmonary functions, cerebral blood flow equivalent (CBFE), and arterial to jugular difference in oxygen content (AjvDO₂) in the patients with pulmonary dysfunction. Fifty-three patients scheduled for lung resection were allocated on the basis of forced vital capacity (FVC %) and forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV(1)%) into the following: good FVC and FEV₁ (n = 14), mild (n = 14), moderate (n = 13), and severe (n = 12) pulmonary dysfunction groups. After lung resections, patients with pulmonary dysfunctions had significantly lower SjvO₂, CBFE, FEV₁, and FVC (P < .001), higher AjvDO₂ (P < .001), and frequent episodes with SjvO₂ < 50% (P < .03). Perioperative changes in FEV₁ had a significant negative correlation with SjvO₂ desaturation (P < .002). Patients with pulmonary dysfunction showed significant SjvO₂ < 50% after lung resection, which is correlated to the perioperative changes in FEV₁.

Background: Morbid obesity in adolescents impacts respiratory function, often leading to reduced lung volume and obstructive ventilatory defects. However, standard spirometric values frequently remain within normal ranges.
Objectives: We hypothesized that Lung Clearance Index (LCI) is a more sensitive marker for detecting airway dysfunction in adolescents with morbid obesity than conventional lung function tests.
Sleep and breathing in children with Joubert syndrome and a review of other rare congenital hindbrain malformations.

Background: Joubert syndrome (JS) is an autosomal recessive disorder with a distinctive mid-hindbrain malformation known as the "molar tooth sign" which involves the breathing control center and its connections with other structures. Literature has reported significant respiratory abnormalities which included hyperpnea interspersed with apneic episodes during wakefulness. Larger-scale studies looking at polysomnographic findings or subjective reports of sleep problems in this population have not yet been published.

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a debilitating disorder that impacts all systems of the body and has been increasing in prevalence throughout the globe. DM represents a significant clinical challenge to care for individuals and prevent the onset of chronic disability and ultimately death. Underlying cellular mechanisms for the onset and development of DM are multi-factorial in origin and involve pathways associated with the production of reactive oxygen species and the generation of oxidative stress as well as the dysfunction of mitochondrial cellular organelles, programmed cell death, and circadian rhythm impairments.

The purpose of this work is to evaluate the feasibility of lung imaging using 3D electrical impedance tomography (EIT) during spontaneous breathing trials (SBTs) in patients with acute hypoxic respiratory failure. EIT is a noninvasive, nonionizing, real-time functional imaging technique, suitable for bedside monitoring in critically ill patients. EIT data were collected in 24 mechanically ventilated patients immediately preceding and during a SBT on two rows of 16 electrodes using a simultaneous multicurrent source EIT system for 3D imaging.

Background: People living with HIV (PLWH) have a higher prevalence of diastolic dysfunction and left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) in cross-sectional studies. Longitudinal data are lacking, especially from Africa.
Objectives: The aim was to examine: 1) the incidence of diastolic dysfunction in PLWH compared to community controls in Tanzania; 2) the progression of diastolic function and LVH in PLWH after antiretroviral therapy initiation; and 3) traditional, endemic, and HIV-specific risk factors for diastolic function and LVH.
