IMPORTANCE: Otologic disease is common among people with primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD), yet little is known about its spectrum and severity. OBJECTIVE: To characterize otologic disease among participants with PCD using data from the Ear-Nose-Throat Prospective International Cohort. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS: This cross-sectional analysis...

OBJECTIVES: To ascertain the involvement of palliative care with neurology services in the care of people with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) in the United Kingdom, Italy and Switzerland, in particular the collaboration with and referral from neurology, the involvement in multidisciplinary team care and in the respiratory support of ALS patien...
The characteristic that describes the extent to which buildings and their systems maintain their performance during shocks is called resilience. Building policies in the EU have already addressed the resilience of buildings against possible hazards (i.e., natural disasters, extreme weathers, fires). However, with increasing overheating risks (e.g.,...
Aims Oxygen-pulse morphology and gas exchange analysis measured during cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) has been associated with myocardial ischaemia. We examine the relationship between CPET parameters, myocardial ischaemia and anginal symptoms in patients with chronic coronary syndrome. We also determine the ability of these parameters to ...

In anaesthetized horses, pronounced ventilation/perfusion mismatching often occurs. Several authors have investigated the effect of lower inspired oxygen fractions (FiO2) to reduce formation of absorption atelectasis. This systematic review compared the effects of low (0.8) FiO2 on the arterial oxygen tension (PaO2), the alveolar-to-arterial oxygen...
Hybrid Ground Source Heat Pump (GSHP) coupled with radiant emission system is a storage-integrated renewable HVAC technology. Previous attempts that assessed the potential of such a system either employed steady-state estimates or were limited to a few cases. However, incorporating system and building dynamics is crucial to accurately estimate the ...
This paper describes the development of a new adaptation of the traditional tracer gas test (TGT) used for total air change rates (ACH) measurement. This adapted TGT, based on constant tracer injection, is intended for use in large-scale IAQ assessments and employs an alternative tracer gas that is more adequate than the currently employed SF6 and ...
Congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) is a complex malformation characterised by a triad of pulmonary hypoplasia, pulmonary hypertension (PH) and cardiac ventricular dysfunction. Much of the mortality and morbidity in CDH is largely accounted for by PH, especially when persistent beyond the neonatal period and refractory to available treatment. Gen...

BackgroundMortality rates for patients with ARDS remain high. We assessed temporal changes in the epidemiology and management of ARDS patients requiring invasive mechanical ventilation in European ICUs. We also investigated the association between ventilatory settings and outcome in these patients.MethodsThis was a post hoc analysis of two cohorts ...
