INTRODUCTION
1.1 BACKGROUND
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused by SARS-CoV-2 infection is a new rapidly spreading infectious disease with no proven treatment options. The virus causes a spectrum of disease ranging from mild coryzal symptoms to severe respiratory compromise requiring
Undoubtedly, one of the most important elements of life on earth is oxygen. Aerobic organisms adapted to the 20.8% oxygen ratio in the atmosphere have survived even lower than this concentration by developing various defense mechanisms. The real question is whether high levels of oxygen in the
This is a pragmatic, open-label, randomised study with 4 interventional and 1 control arms. Individuals will be recruited from migrant worker dormitories, and written informed consent taken prior to enrolment. Randomisation will be done by the level within the dormitory building and predetermined
• Background and significance:
COVID-19 (Coronavirus Disease-2019) is a public health emergency of international concern. Radiological, lung function changes were reported in different studies of pulmonary viral infection.
After a patient has recovered from severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS),
Background and project rationale:
Cystic fibrosis (CF), the most common lethal inherited disease in Caucasian populations, affects approximately 1:2500 live births. It is a multisystem disorder with respiratory morbidity and mortality being the leading cause of death. Despite improved survival in
1. Background and objectives:
Coronavirus infection 2019 (COVID-19), linked to the SARS-Cov-2 virus, is rapidly spreading worldwide. After the city of Wuhan and the province of Hubei, European healthcare systems are facing an outbreak of seriously ill patients, but few are fully equipped to manage
Introduction The World Health Organization (WHO) has recently declared SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) disease as an international alarm public health emergency. This ongoing pandemic of COVID-19 disease is devastating, despite widespread implementation of control measures, which is creating a challenge for

Major cardiac complications are responsible for at least a third of perioperative deaths and are associated with significant morbidity, prolonged hospitalization and increased costs. This number is expected to rise as more surgeries are undertaken in older and frailer patients. The term myocardial
Liver Transplantation and Limitations of DCD Transplantation:
Liver transplantation (LT) is the sole curative therapy for end stage liver disease and has emerged as the treatment of choice for hepatocellular carcinoma. Recent evidence has also demonstrated efficacy in a growing number of
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is the most common genetically inherited disease in the Caucasian population and damages multiple organ systems (i.e., upper and lower respiratory tract, pancreas, liver). Respiratory manifestations include reduction of mucus clearance, chronic pulmonary infections and
Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a progressive fibrotic disease of the peripheral lung parenchyma that affects 0.5% of older adults in the U.S. and confers a very poor median survival. Repetitive injury to the lung with abnormal healing likely results in fibrosis as treatment of those risk
BACKGROUND
Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a progressive form of lung scarring for which there is no proven treatment. Steroids and other potentially toxic drugs are often used but their efficacy is uncertain. The management of patients with IPF is particularly complex because firstly there
