Objective: This study aimed to investigate the potential relation between the retarded growth of skeletal muscle (SM) and dysbiosis of gut microbiota (GM) in children with asthma, and to explore the potential action mechanisms of traditional pediatric massage (TPM) from the perspective of regulating GM and short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) production by using an adolescent rat model of asthma.
Methods: Male Sprague-Dawley rats aged 3weeks were divided randomly into the 5 groups (n=6~7) of control, ovalbumin (OVA), OVA + TPM, OVA + methylprednisolone sodium succinate (MP) and OVA + SCFAs. Pulmonary function (PF) was detected by whole body plethysmograph, including enhanced pause and minute ventilation.

Introduction: Timely identification of the need for lifesaving intervention in battlefield conditions may be improved through automated monitoring of the injured warfighter. Technologies that combine maximal noninvasive insight with minimal equipment footprint give the greatest opportunity for deployment at scale with inexperienced providers in forward areas. Finger photoplethysmography (PPG) signatures are associated with impending hemorrhagic shock but may be insufficient alone.
