Inter- and intra-individual variability in CO2 production and metabolic rate

Carbon dioxide generated by the human body and exhaled (VCO2) is commonly used for ventilation controls, while the metabolic rate (i.e., energy expenditure EE) is an important parameter defining human thermal comfort in buildings. These two parameters are ...

DeepBreath-automated detection of respiratory pathology from lung auscultation in 572 pediatric outpatients across 5 countries

Martin Jaggi, Mary-Anne Hartley, Jonathan Dönz, Juliane Dervaux, Tatjana Chavdarova, Daniel Mueller, Julien Niklas Heitmann, Daniel Hinjos García

The interpretation of lung auscultation is highly subjective and relies on non-specific nomenclature. Computer-aided analysis has the potential to better standardize and automate evaluation. We used 35.9 hours of auscultation audio from 572 pediatric outpa ...

Virtual reality intervention alleviates dyspnoea in patients recovering from COVID-19 pneumonia

Olaf Blanke, Bruno Herbelin, Oliver Alan Kannape, Sylvain Cardin, Sophie Jacqueline Andrée Betka, Jemina Fasola, Florian Lance, Aline Schmit

Background Immersive virtual reality (iVR)-based digital therapeutics are gaining clinical attention in the field of pain management. Based on known analogies between pain and dyspnoea, we investigated the effects of visual respiratory feedback on persiste ...

A new chapter of healthy indoor air: antiviral air treatments

Shannon Christa David

Aerosol transmission remains a major challenge for the control of respiratory viruses. To date, prevention strategies include masks, vaccinations, physical distancing, travel restrictions, and lockdowns. Such measures are effective but come with heavy soci ...

Breathing control, brain, and bodily self-consciousness: Toward immersive digiceuticals to alleviate respiratory suffering

Olaf Blanke, Sophie Jacqueline Andrée Betka

Breathing is peculiar among autonomic functions through several characteristics. It generates a very rich afferent traffic from an array of structures belonging to the respiratory system to various areas of the brain. It is intimately associated with bodil ...

Breathing is coupled with voluntary initiation of mental imagery

Olaf Blanke, Oliver Alan Kannape, Hyeongdong Park

Previous research has suggested that bodily signals from internal organs are associated with diverse cortical and subcortical processes involved in sensory-motor functions, beyond homeostatic reflexes. For instance, a recent study demonstrated that the pre ...

Expiratory Aerosol pH: The Overlooked Driver of Airborne Virus Inactivation

Tamar Kohn, Athanasios Nenes, Kalliopi Violaki, Ghislain Gilles Jean-Michel Motos, Walter Hugentobler, Aline Laetitia Schaub, Shannon Christa David

Respiratory viruses, including influenza virus and SARS-CoV-2, are transmitted by the airborne route. Air filtration and ventilation mechanically reduce the concentration of airborne viruses and are necessary tools for disease mitigation. However, they ign ...

Deep learning architectures for estimating breathing signal and respiratory parameters from speech recordings

Mathew Magimai Doss, Zohreh Mostaani, Venkata Srikanth Nallanthighal

Respiration is an essential and primary mechanism for speech production. We first inhale and then produce speech while exhaling. When we run out of breath, we stop speaking and inhale. Though this process is involuntary, speech production involves a system ...

On The Relationship Between Speech-Based Breathing Signal Prediction Evaluation Measures And Breathing Parameters Estimation

Mathew Magimai Doss, Zohreh Mostaani, Venkata Srikanth Nallanthighal

The respiratory system is one of the major components of the speech production system. Any alteration in breathing can result in changes in speech. Specific breathing characteristics, such as breathing rate and tidal volume, can indicate a person's patholo ...

Imaging atelectrauma in Ventilator-Induced Lung Injury using 4D X-ray microscopy

Goran Lovric, Anders Larsson

Mechanical ventilation can damage the lungs, a condition called Ventilator-Induced Lung Injury (VILI). However, the mechanisms leading to VILI at the microscopic scale remain poorly understood. Here we investigated the within-tidal dynamics of cyclic recru ...
