Endobronchial findings of fibrosing mediastinitis.

abstract：:Health care costs continue to skyrocket, and a large portion of these costs can be attributed to technology. Some technology, such as oximetry, is relatively inexpensive compared to CAT scanning and magnetic resonance imaging. Therefore, it may elude close scrutiny and direct health care planning and, with little fanf...

abstract：:Noninvasive support of ventilation is commonly needed in patients with neuromuscular disease. Body ventilators, which are used rarely, function by applying intermittent negative pressure to the thorax or abdomen. More commonly, noninvasive positive-pressure ventilation (NPPV) is used.
