AI Article Synopsis
Article Abstract
Lingual hematoma (LH) is an uncommon and potentially life-threatening condition due to its tendency to cause upper airway obstruction. It usually occurs as a result of trauma (motor vehicle accidents, grand mal seizures or traumatic tracheal intubations) and rarely spontaneously in cases of patients with inherited or acquired coagulopathies, high blood pressure, hematological disorders, or vascular malformations. Herein, we report the first case, to our knowledge, of a traumatic massive lingual hematoma in a patient with Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) secondary to tongue biting after neurological deterioration, hypertensive crisis and multiple tonic clonic seizures during hemodialysis for chronic renal failure.

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a Gram-negative bacterium that is notorious for airway infections in cystic fibrosis (CF) subjects. Bacterial quorum sensing (QS) coordinates virulence factor expression and biofilm formation at population level. Better understanding of QS in the bacterium-host interaction is required.

Study Objectives: Multilevel upper airway surgery is effective for some patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), but prediction the response to surgery remains a challenge. The underlying endotypes of OSA include upper airway collapsibility, muscle compensation, loop gain, and the arousal threshold. This study aimed to explore the effect of surgery on polysomnography (PSG)-derived OSA endotypes and establish a surgical response prediction model.

Objectives: The current study was conducted to assess the volume of the tongue, oral cavity, and tongue/oral cavity and their correlation with the volume of the upper airway in cleft subjects compared with the control group.
Methods: The study population included 60 CBCT images from dental school. The sample comprised 30 unilateral cleft patients and 30 sex and age-matched healthy subjects.

Current understanding of viral dynamics of SARS-CoV-2 and host responses driving the pathogenic mechanisms in COVID-19 is rapidly evolving. Here, we conducted a longitudinal study to investigate gene expression patterns during acute SARS-CoV-2 illness. Cases included SARS-CoV-2 infected individuals with extremely high viral loads early in their illness, individuals having low SARS-CoV-2 viral loads early in their infection, and individuals testing negative for SARS-CoV-2.

Background: In patients with acute hypoxemic respiratory failure (AHRF) under mechanical ventilation, the change in pressure slope during a low-flow insufflation indicates a global airway opening pressure (AOP) needed to reopen closed airways and may be used for titration of positive end-expiratory pressure.
Objectives: To understand 1) if airways open homogeneously inside the lungs or significant regional AOP variations exist; 2) whether the pattern of the pressure slope change during low-flow insufflation can indicate the presence of regional AOP variations.
Methods: Using electrical impedance tomography, we recorded low-flow insufflation maneuvers (< 10 L/min) starting from end-expiratory positive pressure 0-5 cmHO.
