Airflow Patterns in Double-Occupancy Patient Rooms May Contribute to Roommate-to-Roommate Transmission of Severe Acute R...
Published in Clinical infectious diseases : an official publication of the Infectious Diseases Society of America
Hospitalized patients are at risk to acquire severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) from roommates with unrecognized coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). We hypothesized that airflow patterns might contribute to SARS-CoV-2 transmission in double-occupancy patient rooms. A device emitting condensed moisture was used to identify...
Increasing ventilation reduces SARS-CoV-2 airborne transmission in schools: A retrospective cohort study in Italy's Marc...
Published in Frontiers in Public Health
Introduction While increasing the ventilation rate is an important measure to remove inhalable virus-laden respiratory particles and lower the risk of infection, direct validation in schools with population-based studies is far from definitive. Methods We investigated the strength of association between ventilation and SARS-CoV-2 transmission repor...
Respiratory infections in children born preterm in low and middle-income countries: A systematic review.
Published in Pediatric pulmonology
Studies from high-income countries indicates that infants born preterm are at increased risk of respiratory infections; however in the low and middle-income countries (LMICs) data are limited. Our aim was to systematically review the studies evaluating the risk of respiratory infections in preterm children born in LMICs. We searched Medline, PubMed...

Manipulating plasma thyroid hormone levels alters development of endothermy and ventilation in nestling red-winged black...
Published in Frontiers in Physiology
Thyroid hormones are key regulators of development and metabolism in vertebrates. During the nestling period, young of altricial species transition from an ectothermic phenotype to an endothermic phenotype. Red-winged blackbirds are an altricial species that exhibit an increase in plasma 3,3’, 5-triiodo-L-thyronine (T3) levels during the first 5 da...

Prezračevanje stavbe glede na energetsko učinkovitost in zdravje
V diplomski nalogi smo obravnavali vse načine prezračevanja. Ločimo več načinov prezračevanja, kot so naravno, mehansko in hibridno prezračevanje. Prav tako ločimo prezračevalne sisteme z rekuperacijo toplote in brez: prezračevalni pasivni sistemi brez rekuperacije toplote, prezračevalni lokalni sistemi z rekuperacijo toplote in prezračevalni centr...
Quantification of pulmonary functional MRI: state-of-the-art and emerging image processing methods and measurements
Published in Physics in Medicine & Biology
Pulmonary functional magnetic resonance imaging (PfMRI) provides a way to non-invasively map and measure the spatial distribution of pulmonary ventilation, perfusion and gas-exchange abnormalities with unprecedented detail of functional processes at the level of airways, alveoli and the alveolar-capillary membrane. Current PfMRI approaches are domi...
