The cardiopulmonary system is recognized as one of the most essential physiological systems in the human body, with the responsibility of efficiently distributing blood and oxygen to every organ. The cardiopulmonary system is closely linked to human health. Therefore, pulmonary function testing is crucial for both disease prevention and diagnosis.Since different diseases lead to distinct ...
Pulmonary function tests evaluate lung function and diagnose respiratory conditions. Two critical tests of pulmonary assessment are spirometry and the measurement of diffusing capacity of the lungs for carbon monoxide (DLCO). While spirometry evaluates how effectively the lungs inhale and exhale air, DLCO assesses the lungs' efficiency in transferring oxygen into the bloodstream. Cubic's advanced ...

As the relentless waves of the COVID-19 pandemic continue to wash over the world, much attention has been focused on the idea of hospital bed shortages. As cases strain hospital systems everywhere, the most-commonly reported metrics one hears have to do with beds; how many ICU beds left, how many emergency beds, how many beds overall. While it is of course critical to understand how much physical ...
There’s an island in northern Lake Michigan called Beaver Island. It sits roughly 30 miles offshore of Michigan’s Lower Peninsula, part of an archipelago of other whimsically named islands (including Whiskey, Hog, Garden, and Hat). Roughly 500 hardy souls call Beaver Island home year-round, and the two townships that occupy the land support a small but stable economy that embodies the ...
Nafion is a polymer that can add/remove select materials, including water vapor, to a gas stream through a first order kinetic reaction (a chemical reaction). Because it’s non-porous, other molecules cannot pass through it. This unique property makes it ideal for medical applications such as removing water vapor from breath samples or adding humidity to gas samples for therapeutic ...
