Sleep apnea is a sleep disorder that is characterized with snoring and frequent interruptions in breathing, when asleep. That impacts quality sleep and puts the individual at risk of health issues. Though CPAP therapy is considered gold standard in treating sleep apnea, there are a multitude of vitamins and minerals that can help you get better sleep by addressing factors like muscle relaxation ...
Biomedical liquid waste originating from healthcare facilities, laboratories, and research centers often contains infectious materials that, when discharged without proper treatment, can contribute to the spread of communicable diseases through public sewers. These diseases can affect individuals coming into contact with contaminated water sources ...
These peptides play a crucial role in the innate immune system's defense against microbial infections, exhibiting antimicrobial properties that can inhibit the growth or kill bacteria, fungi, viruses, and even some parasites. ...
The clinical presentation of COVID-19-related illness ranges from asymptomatic to mild respiratory symptoms resembling influenza infection to acute symptoms including pneumonia requiring hospitalization and admission to the intensive care unit. ...
In 1958, FHV-1 was isolated and identified for the first time from kittens suffering from respiratory diseases in the United States by Crandell et al. Clinical manifestations include keratoconjunctivitis, upper respiratory tract infection and miscarriage, and upper respiratory tract infection is the main symptom. ...
We plan to develop sublingual interferon-alfa for the prevention of viral infections, such as influenza and coronaviruses (such as COVID-19). The rise in prevalence of viral respiratory infections in humans and increase in health care expenditure are projected to boost the growth of the global respiratory antiviral treatment ...
Similar concerns extend to other viral pathogens such as influenza virus, respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), and the next novel human respiratory virus we will encounter. COVID-19 shares similarities with other respiratory infections, yet we still have a limited understanding of the immune response to SARS-CoV-2. ...
While most cases occur in the world’s poorest countries, no region is free from the threat—infection levels are rising in Western Europe, and health organizations in North and South America are taking proactive control measures to minimize TB’s spread. ...
Using influenza virus as a model virus, the team established the technology of protein degradation targeting virus as an attenuated vaccine (Proteolysis-Targeting Chimeric virus vaccine, PROTAC vaccine), which provides new ideas for vaccine development. Virus infection and transmission endanger human health and socio-economic development. Influenza is a ...
Live is a tender and cheerful 4-year-old girl. She’s diagnosed with Rett syndrome, but has a more atypical disease course, which means she cannot sit, stand or walk. Live makes good eye contact and has learned to use her eyes and facial expressions to communicate. Live developed as expected until she was around 6 months, but Madeleine, Live’s mother, still felt that something was ...
In many developing countries throughout the world, infant and child mortality rates are disturbingly high, and acute respiratory infections— in particular pneumonia—are a leading cause of death. ...
These henipaviruses span species and can infect many other mammals including humans. These viruses cause brain inflammation and respiratory symptoms. People infected with either of these diseases have a 50% to 100% chance of dying. ...
Some experts have indicated that mucosal immunization of the respiratory system with an inhaled form of the vaccine may be more efficient in dealing with the Omicron strain in light of recent results that demonstrate Omicron infections are more concentrated in the upper respiratory tract. ...
The need for respiratory professionals Prior to the advent of COVID-19, a shortage of respiratory therapists was brewing. According to a survey of respiratory care thought leaders commissioned by the American Association for Respiratory Care (AARC), almost 90% felt that they were either already in the midst of a local shortage ...
A gas humidifier is an instrument for artificially warming and humidifying respiratory gas for mechanically ventilated patients. When natural respiratory humidification decreases pulmonic infections and damage to lung tissue may ...
Other “silent symptoms” of asthma may include: Fatigue Shallow breathing Frequent yawning Insomnia Respiratory infections such as colds However, these are not technical symptoms of asthma, but rather possible side-effects of asthma when it isn’t properly treated. ...

Researchers from Nanyang Technological University and its Center for 3D printing (SC3DP) have developed a 3D printed a highly repeatable and scalable three-dimensional in-vitro alveolar lung model using our REGENHU bioprinter, that could be exploited for pathogen translocation studies and respiratory-related toxicological testing applications. The triple-cell layered lung model ...

Abstract Rationale:Patients with severe coronavirus disease (COVID-19) require supplemental oxygen and ventilatory support. It is unclear whether some respiratory support devices may increase the dispersion of infectious bioaerosols and thereby place healthcare workers at increased risk of infection with severe acute respiratory syndrome ...
Origin, Inc., a Phase III clinical stage biotechnology company, today announced that it has filed a provisional U.S. patent application to enhance the ability of its plasma-generated nitric oxide (NO) antimicrobial and antiviral therapy to be used to treat infections in the respiratory tract and other enclosed spaces in the body. The enhancements are designed to ...
When we think about air pollution, we think about black smoke coming out of stacks in a grey, industrial area in a developing country. And that is also the case. But not only. Air pollution comes in different forms and not always visible to the human eye. ...
