Abstract: The goal of this paper is to calculate a complex internal respiratory and tumoral movements by measuring respiratory air flows and thorax movements. In this context, we present a new lung ...

Abstract: A novel approach is presented for non-constrictive long-term-monitoring of respiration which could particularly become suitable for home care applications. The system is based on textile ...

Nanotechnology-based platforms are being explored for the delivery of therapeutics directly to the lungs through inhalation. However, to ensure translational relevance between preclinical animal ...

What Is Chronic Lung Disease? A chronic lung disease is a type of disease that prevents the lungs and respiratory system from working correctly. The main job of the respiratory system is to take in ...
