Background Non-invasive ventilation is sometimes unable to provide the respiratory needs
of very premature infants in the delivery room. While airway obstruction is thought to be the …

In recent years, pulmonary imaging has seen enormous progress, with the introduction,
validation and implementation of new hardware and software. There is a general trend from …

Alterations in regional lung function due to respiratory infection have a significant effect on
the deposition of inhaled treatments. This has consequences for treatment effectiveness and …

We demonstrate interface-specific propagation-based x-ray phase retrieval tomography of
the thorax and brain of small animals. Our method utilizes a single propagation-based x-ray …

During breathing, lung inflation is a dynamic process involving a balance of mechanical
factors, including trans-pulmonary pressure gradients, tissue compliance and airway …

As neonatal resuscitation critically depends upon lung aeration at birth, knowledge of the
progression of this process is required to guide ongoing care. We investigated whether …

Background Manual tactile stimulation is used to counteract apnea in preterm infants, but it
is unknown when this intervention should be applied. We compared an anticipatory to a …

Key points There is no well‐established, direct correlation between local aeration and
perfusion in the lungs immediately following birth. In a new study of simultaneous X‐ray …

Approximately 53% of near-term newborns admitted to intensive care experience respiratory
distress. These newborns are commonly delivered by cesarean section and have elevated …

Background: Spontaneous breathing is essential for successful non-invasive respiratory
support delivered by a facemask at birth. As hypoxia is a potent inhibitor of spontaneous …
