COVID-19 causes non-specific pneumonia, which has become a new cause of hypoxia, leading to the death of many patients. Today, there are no effective drugs that provide an urgent increase in blood oxygenation. Therefore, it is urgently necessary to develop drugs to increase blood oxygenation in order to save the lives of patients with the new coronavirus infection. Since hypoxia develops in this disease due to the blockage of respiratory tract with viscous mucus and sputum, an appropriate experimental model is needed for screening and finding new drugs. However this model is yet missing. Therefore, the development of an experimental model of respiratory obstruction by sputum with traces of blood can accelerate the discovery of drugs that eliminate hypoxia and prevent the death of patients with nonspecific pneumonia complicated by respiratory obstruction. The purpose of this letter was to present a model for evaluating the biological activity of drugs, which can become a new vector for the development of effective ways to increase blood oxygenation across pulmonary and save the lives of patients with severe atypical pneumonia complicated by respiratory obstruction in COVID-19.

Repositioning the Posterior Septal Angle in Rhinoplasty: Methods and Outcomes.

Objective: Repositioning and fixation of the posterior septal angle (PSA) relative to the anterior nasal spine (ANS) is a well-known maneuver performed during rhinoplasty. Suture techniques through the periosteum along with transosseous drilling through the spine are the two most common fixation methods. We report on how nasal airway patency varies as a function of technique and patient demographic factors.

Introduction: Moderate-to-severe obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) affects a large segment of the US population and is characterized by repetitive and reversible obstruction of the upper airway during sleep. Untreated OSA is associated with increased incidence of heart attack, stroke, and motor vehicle accidents due to sleepiness. Continuous positive airway pressure is often prescribed, but most patients with OSA are nonadherent.

Background/objectives: Both aging and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are strongly associated with changes in the metabolome; however, it is unknown whether there are common aging/COPD metabolomic signatures and if accelerated aging is associated with COPD.
Methods: Plasma from 5704 subjects from the Genetic Epidemiology of COPD study (COPDGene) and 2449 subjects from Subpopulations and intermediate outcome measures in COPD study (SPIROMICS) were profiled using the Metabolon global metabolomics platform (1013 annotated metabolites). Post-bronchodilator spirometry measures of airflow obstruction (forced expiratory volume at one second (FEV)/forced vital capacity (FVC) < 0.

Background: Recent studies on bronchiectasis have revealed significant structural abnormalities and pathophysiological changes. However, there is limited research focused on pulmonary venous variability and congenital variation. Through our surgical observations, we noted that coarctation of pulmonary veins and atrophied lung volume are relatively common in bronchiectasis patients.

Purpose: Functional septorhinoplasty is an effective treatment for nasal airway obstruction. Little distinction exists between bilaterally and unilaterally obstructed patients in literature. Our study evaluates outcomes in patients with unilateral nasal airway obstruction compared to those with bilateral nasal airway obstruction as measured by nasal obstruction symptom evaluation scores following functional septorhinoplasty.
