Aim: This study aimed to evaluate the effect of partially edentulous ()PED condition on lung function through spirometry tests and comparison of airflow rates between dentulous and PED subjects.

Settings And Design: The study design was a cross-sectional study conducted in the department of prosthodontics.

Materials And Methods: Twenty-eight dentulous and 28 PED patients with an age range of 25-50 years were included in the study.

Rhinophyma, a severe manifestation of rosacea, predominantly affects Caucasian males aged 50-70 and is characterized by thickening and enlargement of the nasal skin. The condition can seriously both impact cosmetic appearance and obstruct nasal breathing. While its appearance is distinct, conditions such as basal cell carcinoma can mimic it, complicating diagnosis.

Context-aware analysis enhances autoscoring accuracy of home sleep apnea testing.

J Clin Sleep Med

January 2025

Natural Interaction Lab, Thom Building, Department of Engineering, University of Oxford, Oxford, United Kingdom.

Study Objectives: Home sleep apnea testing based on peripheral arterial tonometry (P-HSAT) is increasingly being deployed because of its ability to test for multiple nights. However, P-HSATs do not have access to modalities such as airflow and cortical arousals and instead rely on alternative sources of information to detect respiratory events. This results in an a-priori performance disadvantage.

Background: There are important inter-relationships between miRNAs and metabolites: alterations in miRNA expression can be induced by various metabolic stimuli, and miRNAs play a regulatory role in numerous cellular processes, impacting metabolism. While both specific miRNAs and metabolites have been identified for their role in childhood asthma, there has been no global assessment of the combined effect of miRNAs and the metabolome in childhood asthma.

Methods: We performed miRNAome-metabolome-wide association studies ('miR-metabo-WAS') in two childhood cohorts of asthma to evaluate the contemporaneous and persistent miRNA-metabolite associations: 1) Genetic Epidemiology of Asthma in Costa Rica Study (GACRS) (N = 1121); 2) the Childhood Asthma Management Program (CAMP) (N = 312 and N = 454).

Inhalation of patchouli essential oil alleviates airway inflammation in cigarette smoke-induced COPD mice.

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is the third leading cause of death worldwide, characterized by persistent respiratory symptoms and airflow limitations resulting from small airway injury, bronchial wall thickening, and hypersecretion of mucus. Current pharmacological interventions are ineffective in reversing these airflow limitations; In our study, we investigated the potential role of patchouli essential oil (PEO) in the treatment of COPD and its underlying molecular mechanisms, both in vitro and in vivo. To establish a cigarette smoke-induced COPD mice model, we exposed the mice to cigarette smoke (CS) and administered nasal drip of lipopolysaccharides (LPS).
