<i>Background:</i> The retropalatal airway is one of the most collapsible sites during sleep in patients with obstructive apnea (OSA). primary anatomical contributors to increased collapsibility segment remain unclear. <i>Objectives:</i> This study seeks investigate how balance between pharyngeal soft tissues and bony enclosure influences mechanical loads OSA. <i>Methods:</i> segmental load pharynx was determined by region’s critical closing pressure 30...
Objectives/Hypothesis Aspiration of gastric refluxate is one the most commonly observed complications among long‐term nasogastric tube (NGT) fed patients. The upper esophageal sphincter (UES) pressure barrier main defense mechanism against pharyngeal reflux contents. Our objective was to investigate efficacy and safety UES assist device (UES‐AD) in preventing through NGT‐fed Study Design Self‐Controlled Case series. Methods We studied 10 patients (mean age = 90.6 ± 3.4 years, four females)...
Background Peritoneal dialysis-related peritonitis (PDRP) is one of the most common complications peritoneal dialysis (PD). Understanding risk factors and etiological characteristics indispensable for infection prevention improving outcome life quality. Methods A total 70 PD patients were separated into PDRP group (n=25) control (n=45). Variables, including gender, age, body mass index, primary diseases, history basic in two groups analyzed to assess PDRP. Metagenomic next-generation...
Upper limb movement is vital in daily life. A biomechanical simulation of the forearm with consideration physiological characteristics muscles instrumental gaining deeper insights into upper motion mechanisms. In this study, we established a finite element model forearm, including radius, biceps brachii, and tendons. We simulated resulting from contraction brachii by using Hill-type transversely isotropic hyperelastic muscle model. adjusted velocity found that slower facilitated flexion....
