16. Septoplasty-predicting the outcome
Abstract : Septoplasty is one of the most common surgical procedures at ENT clinics around the world. The reason for undergoing a septoplasty is nasal airway obstruction (NAO) that does not respond to any other treatment. READ MORE

17. Open and closed endotracheal suctioning. Experimental and human studies
Abstract : Background: The practice of endotracheal suctioning of ventilator treated patients is necessary to remove secretions to prevent obstruction of the endotracheal-tracheal tube and lower airways. This very common procedure creates a large variety of heart-lung interferences. READ MORE

19. Prostaglandin E2 as mediator and modulator of airway smooth muscle responses
Abstract : Prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) is a lipid mediator produced by virtually every cell of the human body. Because common non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) inhibit its biosynthesis, PGE2 is usually considered to be a ‘pro-inflammatory’ mediator. The role of PGE2 in the lung and airways has however always been unclear. READ MORE

20. Evaluation of Respiratory Mechanics by Flow Signal Analysis : With Emphasis on Detecting Partial Endotracheal Tube Obstruction During Mechanical Ventilation
Abstract : Evaluating respiratory mechanics during dynamic conditions without interrupting ongoing ventilation and flow, adds to the information obtained from the mechanics derived from static (= no flow) conditions, i.e., the flow signal has the potential to provide information on the properties of the respiratory system (including the tubing system).
