EFFECTS OF PROTECTIVE MECHANICAL VENTILATION WITH DIFFERENT PEEP LEVELS ON ALVEOLAR DAMAGE AND INFLAMMATION IN A MODEL OF OPEN ABDOMINAL SURGERY: A RANDOMIZED STUDY IN OBESE VERSUS NON-OBESE RATS

Intraoperative positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) has been proposed to restore lung volumes and improve respiratory function in obesity.However, the biological impact of different PEEP levels on the lungs in obesity remains unknown.We aimed to compare the effects of PEEP = 2 cmH2O versus PEEP = 6 cmH2O during ventilation with low tidal volumes

Background: Despite the ready availability of pneumococcal vaccines and recommendation of vaccination by Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the immunization rates among adults less than 65 years of age with chronic and immunocompromised conditions remain low.Methods: This interventional (cohort) study aimed to improve the pneumococcal

The earliest industrial monuments in Britain are the Neolithic flint mines, dating to around 4000 bce.These mining shafts, which tunnel Drain Valve Diaphragm deep into chalk geologies, evidence the extremes that ancient Britons were willing to resort to in order to obtain valuable raw materials.Numerous scholars, marvelling at the excavation proces

Deep reflection seismic data are usually accompanied by large-offset data, and the accurate and rapid identification of the first arrivals of seismic records plays an important role in eliminating the effects of topography and other factors that increase with the increasing offsets.In this paper, we propose a method based on convolutional neural ne
