Abstract:
El objetivo de este estudio consiste en analizar y comparar los hábitos de vida (consumo de tabaco, alcohol y práctica de actividad física) y sus efectos en la salud respiratoria en una muestra de estudiantes universitarios. La percepción de síntomas respiratorios y los hábitos de vida de los estudiantes se realizaron a través de un cuestionario específico de salud respiratoria validado para la población general en las preguntas de calidad de vida, el Sant George Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ). La muestra estuvo compuesta por estudiantes universitarios sedentarios (n = 497) y estudiantes universitarios del Grado en Ciencias de la Actividad Física y del Deporte (n = 315). Los estudiantes universitarios sedentarios, los que consumían alcohol y los fumadores, exfumadores y fumadores pasivos obtuvieron puntuaciones de síntomas respiratorios más altas en el SGRQ (p<.05) en comparación con los estudiantes de Ciencias del Deporte y los estudiantes que nunca consumían alcohol o tabaco. El consumo de tabaco y alcohol y la inactividad física parecen tener una influencia en la percepción de síntomas respiratorios en los estudiantes universitarios.Abastract. The objective of this study is to analyze and compare life habits (smoking, alcohol and physical activity) and their effects on respiratory health in a sample of university students. The perception of respiratory symptoms and life habits of university students was carried out through a specific validated respiratory health questionnaire, the Sant George Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ), for the general population with questions related to health-related life quality. The sample consisted of sedentary university students (n = 497) and university students of Physical Activity and Sport Sciences Degree (n = 315). Sedentary university students, alcohol users, smokers, ex-smokers, and passive smokers had the highest rates of perceived respiratory symptoms in the SGRQ (p<.05) compared to Sport Science students and students who never consumed alcohol or tobacco. Tobacco and alcohol consumption and physical inactivity are the factors that cause more respiratory symptoms in university students.

Abstract:
Background Recently, several randomized controlled trials (RCTs) have evaluated the effect of N95 respirators compared with medical masks to protect against acute respiratory infections. However, these studies are limited by modest sample sizes and inconclusive results. Therefore, the goal of the present study was to review the relevant and available published RCTs with the aid of the increased power of meta-analytic methods in order to assess the effectiveness of medical masks and N95 respirators in reducing the risk of respiratory infections. Methods This meta-analysis follows the recommendations of the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) statement for conducting and reporting results. We searched PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, and Cochrane databases from inception through April 1, 2020 to identify potentially relevant studies. Two authors (LS and JS) independently searched the titles and abstracts of the potentially eligible articles. They independently retrieved required data from the eligible trials; the data were initially tabulated for statistical analysis. Two authors (JRL and LS) independently assessed the methodological quality of the included RCTs using the Cochrane Collaboration’s tool for assessing risk of bias. Results Six articles met the inclusion criteria. The pooled analysis showed that N95 respirators did not reduce the risk of infection with respiratory viruses compared with medical/surgical masks (5.7% vs. 7.9%; RR = 1.12; 95% CI: 0.88–1.41; p = 0.36); however, there was no statistically significant difference in laboratory-confirmed influenza between N95 and medical masks (RR = 0.91; 95% CI: 0.77–1.07; p = 0.26). Medical masks provided similar protection against other viruses, including coronavirus (RR = 0.74; 95% CI: 0.32–1.73; p = 0.49). Respiratory illness, as well as influenza-like illness were less frequently observed with N95 respirators. Conclusions Our meta-analysis suggests that there are insufficient data to definitively determine whether N95 respirators are superior to medical masks in protection against transmissible acute respiratory infections. Further randomized trials are necessary to compare the above methods of respiratory protection in the context of COVID-19 incidence.

Abstract:
International tourist arrivals continue to increase over time due to global economic growth, increasing middle class in developing countries, technological advances, innovative business concepts, cost-effective travel, and facilitation of visas. The increase in tourist visits has resulted in health problems due to the trips. Respiratory tract infections are the main reason tourists seek medical care. Respiratory infections occur in 20% of all tourists, almost the same as the incidence of diarrhea. The majority of international inbound tourism involved air travel. Though physiological changes happen in everyone while air travel, people with lung disease are at high risk for significant complications and necessitate a specific risk assessment strategy. A pre-flight evaluation is conducted if there is any uncertainty regarding the patient's fitness for flight and the effect of eligibility to fly. This literature review summarized the important aspect of travel medicine from the respiratory medicine point of view.

Abstract:
Background: Using appropriate respiratory protection equipment (RPE) is very important to protect healthcare workers (HCWs) against respiratory hazards. The aim of this study was to identify the level of knowledge, perceptions and practices of HCWs on using RPE. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted with 284 employees of educational hospitals affiliated to Shiraz University of Medical Sciences. The study’s instrument was a self-made questionnaire that comprised four components: demographic inquiries and questions designed to assess the knowledge, perceptions and practice of HCWs regarding RPE. Collected data were analysed using SPSS software version 21. Results: Average scores of knowledge, perceptions and practice of HCWs on using RPE were 66.50% ± 11.93%, 80.32% ± 10.05% and 70.12% ± 20.51%, respectively. A significant association was observed between knowledge and age, job experience, history of using respirator, marital status and risk of respiratory hazards in the workplace and perceptions with age and education and practice with education. Conclusion: Studied HCWs had positive perceptions and moderate level of knowledge and practice about the use of RPE. Full implementation of respiratory protection program in the hospitals would be helpful to improve the knowledge, perceptions and practices of HCWs regarding RPE.

Abstract:
General body warm-up is important for high performance in demonstrating motoric characteristics. Recently, respiratory muscle warm-up, which contributes to sports performance such as general body warm-up, has been a subject of interest to sports scientists. The aim of this study is to examine the effect of different respiratory muscle warm-up on respiratory parameters. Thirty volunteer girls aged 12-14 participated in the study. Three different respiratory muscle warm-ups, including placebo divided respiratory muscle warm-up, pursed-lip respiratory muscle exercise, and divided respiratory muscle warm-up, were performed on the participants on different days, and respiratory parameters were determined with a spirometer. The difference between the applications was determined by the One-Way ANOVA test, and the group that caused the difference was determined by the Tukey test. It was determined that the highest values ​​in all respiratory parameters were in divided respiratory muscle warm-up, pursed lip respiratory muscle exercise, and placebo divided respiratory muscle warm-up. It was observed that the different respiratory muscle warm-ups applied increased the respiratory parameters, and the highest value was in the divided respiratory muscle warm-up (FVC=3,99±,56 FEV1= 3,76±,55 PEF= 6,54±,43 FEV1/FVC= 93,58±2,11). As a result, it is recommended to warm up the respiratory muscles in order to increase the performance of the athlete before the training or competitions. If the conditions are suitable, it is recommended to warm up the respiratory muscles with respiratory exercise equipment whose maximal inspiratory pressure (MIP) values ​​can be adjusted.

Son zamanlarda genel vücut ısınması gibi sportif performansa katkı sunan solunum kası ısınması spor bilimcilerin ilgisini çeken bir konu olmuştur. Bu düşünce ile yapılan çalışmanın amacı, farklı solunum kası ısınmalarının solunum parametreleri üzerine olan etkisinin incelenmesidir. Çalışmaya 12-14 yaşları arasında 30 gönüllü kız çocuk katılmıştır. Katılımcılara farklı günlerde olmak üzere plasebo aletli solunum kası ısınması, büzük dudak solunum kası egzersizi ve aletli solunum kası ısınması olmak üzere üç farklı solunum kası ısınması yaptırılmış ve spirometre ile solunum parametreleri belirlenmiştir. Uygulamalar arası fark One-Way ANOVA testi ile belirlenmiş, farkın hangi gruptan kaynaklandığı Tukey testi ile tespit edilmiştir. Bütün solunum parametrelerindeki en yüksek değerlerin sırası ile aletli solunum kası ısınması, büzük dudak solunum kası egzersizi ve plasebo aletli solunum kası ısınmasında olduğu belirlenmiştir. Uygulatılan farklı solunum kası ısınmalarının solunum parametrelerinde artış meydana getirdiği, en yüksek değerin ise aletli solunum kası ısınmasında olduğu görülmüştür (FVC=3,99±,56 FEV1= 3,76±,55 PEF= 6,54±,43 FEV1/FVC= 93,58±2,11). Sonuç olarak, yapılacak antrenmanlar ya da müsabakalar öncesi sporcu performansının artırılması amacıyla solunum kası ısınmasının yaptırılması önerilmektedir. Şartlar uygun ise solunum kası ısınmasının maksimal inspiratuar basınç (MIP) değerleri ayarlanabilen solunum egzersiz aletleri ile yapılması tavsiye edilmektedir.

Abstract:
Background and Aim: Opioid and benzodiazepine family drugs are concurrently used in various patients. Considering the respiratory depressant effects of both classes, in this study, we investigated the effect of coadministration of morphine and several widely used benzodiazepines in the clinic on the rate of respiratory depression in rats. Methods & Materials: Seventy adult male Wistar rats were randomly divided into 10 groups; morphine, midazolam, diazepam, lorazepam, alprazolam, morphine-midazolam, morphine-diazepam, morphine-lorazepam, and morphine-alprazolam. Respiration signal was recorded using whole-body plethysmography 15 minutes after the intraperitoneal injection of the drugs. The respiratory pattern was examined using several parameters; the mean value of inter-breath interval and the respiratory rate, as well as the coefficient of variation and sample entropy analysis of inter-breath interval. Ethical Considerations: This study was approved by the Ethics Committee of Arak University of Medical Sciences (Code: IR.ARAKMU.REC.1397.327). Results: Analyzing respiratory data revealed that injecting the anxiolytic dose of alprazolam, and the combination of morphine-alprazolam and morphine-midazolam, altered the respiratory pattern. Such changes were associated with a decrease in the number of breaths and an increase in the inter-breath interval in the explored test animals, compared with the controls. The obtained data also indicated that morphine-midazolam injection increased the variability of the breathing pattern; such an alternation was associated with increased irregularity and decreased coefficient of variation of the inter-breath interval. Conclusion: The present research results suggested that the short-term injection of morphine-midazolam changes the respiratory pattern more severely than morphine combined with other benzodiazepines.

Abstract:
In response to the current state of the COVID-19 pandemic, healthcare providers are using common surgical masks and filtering respirators in conjunction with the presence of facial hair, which could lead to a large number of particles passing into their respiratory system. The purpose of this study was to determine the fit factor effectiveness of filtering respirators and surgical masks in bearded versus non-bearded healthcare providers. A controlled randomized clinical trial (NCT04391010) was carried out, analyzing a sample of 63 healthcare providers. The fit factors of surgical masks and FFP3 filtering respirators for healthcare providers with (n = 32) and without (n = 31) facial hair were compared. Fit factors were measured during an exercises protocol in which healthcare providers wore surgical masks and FFP3 filtering respirators. Surgical mask fit factor comparisons did not show significant differences (p > 0.05) between healthcare providers with and without facial hair. In contrast, filtering respirator fit factor comparisons showed statistically significant differences (p < 0.01) between both groups, indicating that healthcare providers with facial hair showed lower fit factor scores, which implies a worse fit factor with respect to healthcare providers without facial hair. The fit factor effectiveness of filtering respirators was reduced in healthcare providers with facial hair. The authors of this paper encourage healthcare providers to trim their beards during filtering respirator use or wear full-mask filtering facepiece respirators, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Abstract:
Annual epidemics of seasonal influenza cause hundreds of thousands of deaths, high levels of morbidity, and substantial economic loss.Global influenza circulation has been heavily suppressed by public health measures and travel restrictions during COVID-19 pandemic. As many countries are now transitioning to COVID-19 endemic state, restrictions have been loosened or been lifted entirely, creating an opening for influenza and other respiratory viruses. As such, many more people might catch the flu and potentially be at risk of serious illness. Although influenza is primarily considered a respiratory infection and causes significant respiratory mortality, evidence suggests that influenza has an additional burden due to broader consequences of the illness. Some of these broader consequences include cardiovascular events, exacerbations of chronic underlying conditions, increased susceptibility to secondary bacterial infections, functional decline, and poor pregnancy outcomes, all of which may lead to an increased risk for hospitalization and death. Flu vaccination could be more important than ever now, both to protect those most at risk, as well as to protect health systems that are already under pressure due to COVID-19. The World Health Organization (WHO) and the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) recommends that almost everyone aged 6 months and older get a seasonal flu vaccine each year. Flu vaccines are updated each season to keep up with changing viruses. Also, immunity wanes over a year so annual vaccination is needed to ensure the best possible protection against the flu. Despite health authorities’ recommendation, many at-risk adults are not aware of the impact of influenza and the importance of prevention. Healthcare provider’s recommendation can make a difference. Clinicians are the most valued and trusted source of health information for adults. CDC recommended a systematic communication to help patients make an informed decision about vaccinations.

Abstract:
In this review, the Basic and Translational Sciences Assembly of the European Respiratory Society (ERS) provides an overview of the 2019 ERS International Congress highlights. In particular, we discuss how the novel and very promising technology of single cell sequencing has led to the development of a comprehensive map of the human lung, the lung cell atlas, including the discovery of novel cell types and new insights into cellular trajectories in lung health and disease. Further, we summarise recent insights in the field of respiratory infections, which can aid in a better understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying these infections in order to develop novel vaccines and improved treatment options. Novel concepts delineating the early origins of lung disease are focused on the effects of pre- and post-natal exposures on neonatal lung development and long-term lung health. Moreover, we discuss how these early life exposures can affect the lung microbiome and respiratory infections. In addition, the importance of metabolomics and mitochondrial function analysis to subphenotype chronic lung disease patients according to their metabolic program is described. Finally, basic and translational respiratory science is rapidly moving forward and this will be beneficial for an advanced molecular understanding of the mechanisms underlying a variety of lung diseases. In the long-term this will aid in the development of novel therapeutic targeting strategies in the field of respiratory medicine.

Abstract:
This review aimed to describe some plants used in Brazilian folk medicine in respiratory disorders, highlighting species not well known to the Brazilian citizens. The articles were surveyed in the MEDLINE / PubMed, Web of Science, SCOPUS / Elsevier, SciELO and Cochrane with the descriptors in Health Sciences (DeCS) databases: Medicinal plants, herbal medicine and respiratory diseases with the keywords: secondary metabolites and pulmonary disorders, considering the period from June 2010 to June 2020. The results indicated that species known as Mikania glomerata and Allium sativum, are well studied, presenting a large volume of publications and results on phytochemical and pharmacological aspects. In contrast, lesser-known species of the Brazilian population, such as Amburana cearensis, Hybanthus ipecacuanha, and Jatropha curcas, need more studies, which explore their potential in the medical field. Brazilian biodiversity offers a wide variety of medicinal plants, some of which are better known and studied; others less known and little studied, requiring further investigation in order to provide a scientific basis, both for the isolation and synthesis of molecules and for possible therapeutic applications in different respiratory diseases.

Abstract:
The background of this study was that there were students who felt lazy in working on some of the evaluation questions given by the teacher in science subjects regarding respiratory organs in animals. This is because the teacher still uses typed or handwritten evaluation questions on paper. Thus, the results obtained through evaluation are not optimal, because they do not attract students' interest and attention and are considered only mediocre. This study aims to utilize Wordwall media as a form of evaluation in Natural Sciences (IPA) subjects regarding respiratory organs in animals for class V students at SDN 3 Nagri Kaler. The research method used is Classroom Action Research which is designed in 2 cycles, each cycle consisting of 4 stages. Researchers in designing results and discussions discuss the use of the Wordwall website as digital media in evaluating learning regarding respiratory organ material in animals. In the discussion, the researcher also conducted tests in the form of pre-test and post-test to measure the extent of students' understanding of the material on respiratory organs in animals. Furthermore, at the end of the discussion, the researcher included data in the form of scores or results from the pre-test, post-test, and evaluation using Wordwall.

Abstract:
A 34-year-old male with a history of quadriplegia following a spinal cord injury presented to the clinic endorsing persistent dry cough and mild chest pain for the past three weeks. The patient appeared comfortable, in no acute distress, and with stable vital signs during the visit. His physical exam was unremarkableexcept for no air movement in the right lung. An urgent in-house chest X-ray showed a large pneumothorax with a small layering fluid component and near-complete right lung collapse. The physical exam has been the cornerstone of medical practice since its inception. This tradition has been passed down from physician educators to learners for centuries. Our case is unique because patients with severe pneumothorax usually exhibit urgent symptoms, such as respiratory distress and desaturations at presentation. However, our patient presented with only mild non-specific symptoms and did not have significant risk factors.Therefore, performing a thorough physical exam is essential to help uncover life-threatening pathologies even in patients with no severe symptoms.

Abstract:
Philosophically, natural sciences as a building of knowledge can study ontology (what you want to know), epistemology (how to acquire knowledge), and axiology (what is the value of knowledge). Natural Science as a building of science has properties that are closely related to natural objects. The problems that occur with natural objects are holistic. This holistic problem requires problem-solving from various disciplines, especially in the natural sciences. Based on the scope of the research above, this article aims to investigate integrated natural science learning in a philosophical review (ontology, epistemology, axiology). The qualitative method is applied in this study. Studies conducted to solve problems based on a critical and in-depth analysis of pertinent library materials are known as library research. Overviews of ontology, epistemology, and axiology state that integrated natural science learning, students are expected to be able to relate to other disciplines such as physics, astronomy, chemistry, geology, biology, technology, environment, and health and safety. This type of instruction uses natural science to present natural phenomena and events holistically and to develop students' problem-solving skills. The recommendation given is that teachers should tend to the interdisciplinary study of the natural sciences.

Abstract:
Tobacco smoke is not only a leading cause for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, cardiovascular disorders, and lung and oral cancers, but also causes neurological disorders such as Alzheimer ’s disease. Tobacco smoke consists of more than 4500 toxic chemicals, which form free radicals and can cross blood-brain barrier resulting in oxidative stress, an extracellular amyloid plaque from the aggregation of amyloid β (Aβ) peptide deposition in the brain. Further, respiratory infections such as Chlamydia pneumoniae, respiratory syncytial virus have also been involved in the induction and development of the disease. The necessary information collated on this review has been gathered from various literature published from 1995 to 2019. The review article sheds light on the role of smoking and respiratory infections in causing oxidative stress and neuroinflammation, resulting in Alzheimer's disease (AD). This review will be of interest to scientists and researchers from biological and medical science disciplines, including microbiology, pharmaceutical sciences and the translational researchers, etc. The increasing understanding of the relationship between chronic lung disease and neurological disease is two-fold. First, this would help to identify the risk factors and possible therapeutic interventions to reduce the development and progression of both diseases. Second, this would help to reduce the probable risk of development of AD in the population prone to chronic lung diseases.

Abstract:
A severe respiratory disease epidemic outbreak correlates with a high demand of specific supplies and specialized personnel to hold it back in a wide region or set of regions; these supplies would be beds, storage areas, hemodynamic monitors, and mechanical ventilators, as well as physicians, respiratory technicians, and specialized nurses. We describe an online cumulative sum based model named Overcrowd-Severe-Respiratory-Disease-Index based on the Modified Overcrowd Index that simultaneously monitors and informs the demand of those supplies and personnel in a healthcare network generating early warnings of severe respiratory disease epidemic outbreaks through the interpretation of such variables. Apost hochistorical archive is generated, helping physicians in charge to improve the transit and future allocation of supplies in the entire hospital network during the outbreak. The model was thoroughly verified in a virtual scenario, generating multiple epidemic outbreaks in a 6-year span for a 13-hospital network. When it was superimposed over the H1N1 influenza outbreak census (2008–2010) taken by the National Institute of Medical Sciences and Nutrition Salvador Zubiran in Mexico City, it showed that it is an effective algorithm to notify early warnings of severe respiratory disease epidemic outbreaks with a minimal rate of false alerts.

Abstract:
Background There is global shortage of Personal Protective Equipment due to COVID-19 pandemic. N95 Filtering Facepiece Respirators (N95-FFRs) provide respiratory protection against respiratory pathogens including SARS-CoV-2. There is scant literature on reprocessing methods which can enable reuse of N95-FFRs. Aim We conducted this study to evaluate research done, prior to COVID-19 pandemic, on various decontamination methods for reprocessing of N95-FFRs. Methods We searched 5 electronic databases (Pubmed, Google Scholar, Crossref, Ovid, ScienceDirect) and 1 Grey literature database (OpenGrey). We included original studies, published prior to year 2020, which had evaluated any decontamination method on FFRs. Studies had evaluated a reprocessing method against parameters namely physical changes, user acceptability, respirator fit, filter efficiency, microbicidal efficacy and presence of chemical residues post-reprocessing. Findings and conclusions Overall, we found 7887 records amongst which 17 original research articles were finally included for qualitative analysis. Overall, 21 different types of decontamination or reprocessing methods for N95-FFRs were evaluated. Most commonly evaluated method for reprocessing of FFRs was Ultraviolet (Type-C) irradiation (UVGI) which was evaluated in 13/17 (76%) studies. We found published literature was scant on this topic despite warning signs of pandemic of a respiratory illness over the years. Promising technologies requiring expeditious evaluation are UVGI, Microwave generated steam (MGS) and based on Hydrogen peroxide vapor. Global presence of technologies, which have been given Emergency use authorisation for N95-FFR reprocessing, is extremely limited. Reprocessing of N95-FFRs by MGS should be considered for emergency implementation in resource limited settings to tackle shortage of N95-FFRs.

Abstract:
The ancient science of Ayurveda has many unique concepts regarding the creation of the living, health issues, diseases and their treatment. These are distinctive and have the scope to incorporate modern development into them. During the trying times of the recent pandemic, there has been the development of sensors for detecting VOCs (volatile organic compounds) produced by COVID-infected individuals which helped to diagnose the disease swiftly to minimize its spread. The interaction between pathogenic viruses in respiratory tract infection and the body's microenvironment produces distinctive volatile organic compounds (VOCs). VOCs are gaseous molecules released as a product of metabolic processes in the body whose composition changes directly as a result of pathologic processes, such as an infection. This concept of different body odours in physiological and pathological conditions has been mentioned in Ayurveda thoroughly, especially in the context of Balagraha (which can be correlated to various infectious diseases). This shows the science's proficiency to be way ahead of its time. Thus, the incorporation of such distinctive ayurvedic concepts will help in the comprehensive development of the medical sciences

Abstract:
Nanomedicine is a multidisciplinary research field with an integration of traditional sciences such as chemistry, physics, biology and materials science. The application of nanomedicine for lung diseases as a relatively new area of interdisciplinary science has grown rapidly over the last 10 years. Promising research outcomes suggest that nanomedicine will revolutionise the practice of medicine, through the development of new approaches in therapeutic agent delivery, vaccine development and nanotechnology-based medical detections. Nano-based approaches in the diagnosis and treatment of lung diseases will, in the not too distant future, change the way we practise medicine. This review will focus on the current trends and developments in the clinical translation of nanomedicine for lung diseases, such as in the areas of lung cancer, cystic fibrosis, asthma, bacterial infections and COPD.

Abstract:
Dynamical systems are widespread, with examples in physics, chemistry, biology, population dynamics, communications, climatology and social science. They are rarely isolated but generally interact with each other. These interactions can be characterized by coupling functions—which contain detailed information about the functional mechanisms underlying the interactions and prescribe the physical rule specifying how each interaction occurs. Coupling functions can be used, not only to understand, but also to control and predict the outcome of the interactions. This theme issue assembles ground-breaking work on coupling functions by leading scientists. After overviewing the field and describing recent advances in the theory, it discusses novel methods for the detection and reconstruction of coupling functions from measured data. It then presents applications in chemistry, neuroscience, cardio-respiratory physiology, climate, electrical engineering and social science. Taken together, the collection summarizes earlier work on coupling functions, reviews recent developments, presents the state of the art, and looks forward to guide the future evolution of the field.

Abstract:
Introduction and objective: Occupational diseases, most often caused by allergens or irritants in the workplace, lead to a deterioration in the quality of life of employees and, in some cases, the inability to continue working in a specific position.It is important to prevent respiratory diseases, which will allow for earlier detection of changes and appropriate treatment. The aim of the study is to present the knowledge about occupational asthma on the basis of available scientific data, and to indicate appropriate preventive measures to reduce the incidence of this disease entity. Review methods:While writing the thesis, a database was used, ie Pubmed and Google Scholar. Brief description of the stage of knowledge: The group of the most common obstructive pulmonary diseases is bronchial asthma. This disease affects over a dozen percent of the population of civilized countries, and it affects various age groups and various social strata. Bronchial asthma can be mild, severe, and even fatal [1]. Occupational asthma is caused by inhaling antigens, which are abundant in the working environment of farmers, bakers and millers, including protozoa and airborne fungi. Summary: Allergic respiratory diseases are a significant problem in the work environment. In addition, an increase in these diseases has been observed in recent years. It is related to the improvement of diagnostic methods, as well as their more frequent occurrence [2]. The frequency and type of allergy occurrence depends on many factors. These factors include genetics, exposure to aeroallergens, and the type of work performed. Certain professions are associated with a particularly high risk of allergic respiratory disease. Such occupations include a baker, miller, and employees in the transport industry [3].

Abstract:
The Archosauria are a highly successful group of vertebrates, and their evolution is marked by the appearance of diverse respiratory and metabolic strategies. This review examines respiratory function in living and fossil archosaurs, focusing on the anatomy and biomechanics of the respiratory system, and their physiological consequences. The first archosaurs shared a heterogeneously partitioned parabronchial lung with unidirectional air flow; from this common ancestral lung morphology, we trace the diverging respiratory designs of bird- and crocodilian-line archosaurs. We review the latest evidence of osteological correlates for lung structure and the presence and distribution of accessory air sacs, with a focus on the evolution of the avian lung-air sac system and the functional separation of gas exchange and ventilation. In addition, we discuss the evolution of ventilation mechanics across archosaurs, citing new biomechanical data from extant taxa and how this informs our reconstructions of fossils. This improved understanding of respiratory form and function should help to reconstruct key physiological parameters in fossil taxa. We highlight key events in archosaur evolution where respiratory physiology likely played a major role, such as their radiation at a time of relative hypoxia following the Permo-Triassic mass extinction, and their evolution of elevated metabolic rates.

Abstract:
Introduction The COVID-19 pandemic has unveiled widespread shortages of personal protective equipment including N95 respirators. Several centers are developing reusable stop-gap respirators as alternatives to disposable N95 respirators during public health emergencies, using techniques such as 3D-printing, silicone moulding and plastic extrusion. Effective sealing of the mask, combined with respiratory filters should achieve 95% or greater filtration of particles less than 1um. Quantitative fit-testing (QNFT) data from these stop-gap devices has not been published to date. Our team developed one such device, the “SSM”, and evaluated it using QNFT. Methods Device prototypes were iteratively evaluated for comfort, breathability and communication, by team members wearing them for 15-30min. The fit and seal were assessed by positive and negative pressure user seal checks. The final design was then formally tested by QNFT, according to CSA standard Z94.4–18 in 40 volunteer healthcare providers. An overall fit-factor >100 is the passing threshold. Volunteers were also tested by QNFT on disposable N95 masks which had passed qualitative fit testing (QLFT) by institutional Occupational Health and Safety Department. Results The SSM scored 3.5/5 and 4/5 for comfort and breathability. The median overall harmonic mean fit-factors of disposable N95 and SSM were 137.9 and 6316.7 respectively. SSM scored significantly higher than disposable respirators in fit-test runs and overall fit-factors (p <0.0001). Overall passing rates in disposable and SSM respirators on QNFT were 65% and 100%. During dynamic runs, passing rates in disposable and SSM respirators were 68.1% and 99.4%; harmonic means were 73.7 and 1643. Conclusions We present the design and validation of a reusable N95 stop-gap filtering facepiece respirator that can match existent commercial respirators. This sets a precedence for adoption of novel stop-gap N95 respirators in emergency situations.
