The authors studied, in 11 awake adult cats, the parameters of the expiration reflex (ER), tracheobronchial (TB) and laryngopharyngeal (LPh) cough, the respiratory rate (f), tidal volume (VT), the end tidal fractional CO2 concentration (FETCO2), the pH, the blood gases and the heart rate during 30
A 49-year-old woman with a medical history of epilepsy presented to the ED 1 h after a single, 15-min, witnessed, tonic-clonic seizure. Over the preceding 6 months, she had experienced five similar seizures of shorter duration. There were no recent changes to her phenytoin dose nor had she started
BACKGROUND
An intact cough reflex is important to protect the lung from injurious substances and to clear excess secretions. A blunted cough reflex may be harmful or even fatal in respiratory disease. Hypoxia is common in respiratory disorders and has been shown to have depressant effects on
Impulse activity of the medulla respiratory neurons and electrical activity of the diaphragm and intercostal muscles were studied prior to, during and after coughing fit in anesthetized cats under conditions of normoxia and hypoxia. Simultaneously the intrapleural pressure was recorded and O2,
Alveolar proteinosis is a rare chronic lung disease, especially in children, characterized by abnormal accumulation of lipoproteins and derived surfactant in the intra-alveolar space that generates a severe reduction of gas exchange. Idiopathic presentation form constitutes over 90% of cases, a
Patients with respiratory disease commonly report that their sleep is disrupted by nocturnal cough. We have recorded cough during the night in 10 patients with severe chronic bronchitis and emphysema (forced expiratory volume in one second, 1.0 +/- SEM 0.1/L) who complained of nocturnal cough and
A 3-week-old baby, suffering from whooping cough with severe attacks of apnoea and hypoxia, was treated by nasal CPAP with a positive airway pressure of about 5 cm H2O. The respiration improved rapidly and the transcutaneous oxygen tension increased to a normal level. The treatment was carried on
Diffuse idiopathic pulmonary neuroendocrine cell hyperplasia (DIPNECH) is a rare lung disease, which usually affects older women. This disease is often asymptomatic. For patients who are symptomatic, symptoms usually include cough and dyspnea. In this paper, we reported a 38-year-old man who
