Silicosis is the irreversible lungs fibrosis caused by inhalation of sandy dust (quartz). When particles of sandy dust enter lungs, immune system cells, such as macro phagocytes, capture them. The enzymes emitted by these cells cause damage and tissue fibrosis of lungs. First zones of fibrosis represent tiny round small knots (simple nodular silicosis), but eventually, they can unite in the big masses (a nodal form of silicosis). In zones …

During the devastating worldwide polio epidemics of the 1940s and 1950s, a severe form of polio interrupted the lives of countless children and adults, often in their most productive years. In response to this crisis, modern devices for upper airway care and artificial breathing were developed, including the modern positive pressure ventilator. Mechanical ventilation with proper tracheostomy management resulted in a reduction of mortality from respiratory failure from 90 percent …
There exist rising concerns about the feasibility for safe and cost-effective home care programs for ventilator-dependent patients. Currently, such individuals reside for years in acute intensive care facilities at enormous costs in human and economic terms. Until recently, there were few viable institutional-based or community-oriented options. Home care demonstrations are now evolving into definite programs. There are many pressures to develop the home care option. Home ventilator care is a …
