Clinical Applications of High-Flow Nasal Cannula in Obstructive Lung Diseases
No full textHigh-flow nasal therapy (HFNT) supplies a heated and humidified mixture of air and oxygen at flows of up to 60 L/min. HFNT appears to provide several benefits and is becoming an alternative to deliver respiratory support in a variety of clinical scenarios. Initially used in patients with acute hypoxaemic respiratory failure or in the critical care unit, more recent works have focused on the use of HFNT in patients with obstructive lung disease as well. In this chapter, we provide a brief overview of the physiological rationale, and review and discuss the currently available evidence on the use of HFNT in obstructive lung disease in the acute and chronic setting. Possible future applications are also discussed
Patient–clinician alliance during prolonged mechanical ventilation “never give up on a dream”
No full textIn conclusion, this study, besides beingwell conducted and providing
important clinical information, clarifies the issue that perception in
medicine may be very misleading. Therefore, the patient and clinician,
allied together, should never give up on the dream to liberate the patient
from prolonged ventilation and recover a satisfactory quality of lif
Comparison between a diagrammatic theory for the BCS-BEC crossover and quantum Monte Carlo results
Full text linkPredictions for the chemical potential and the excitation gap recently obtained by our diagrammatic theory
for the Bardeen-Cooper-Schreiffer–Bose-Einstein Condensation crossover in the superfluid phase are compared
with quantum Monte Carlo results at zero temperature now available in the literature. A remarkable agreement
is found between the results obtained by the two approaches
Infinitely Many Solitary Waves in Three Space Dimensions
No full textIn this paper we give some existence results obtained by V. Benci, P. d’Avenia, D. Fortunato, A. Masiello and L. Pisani about a model of Lorentz-invariant nonlinear field equation in three space dimensions which gives rise to topological solitary waves

Normalized solutions for a Schrödinger–Poisson system under a neumann condition
No full textIn this paper we study the existence of normalized standing wave solutions for a Schrödinger–Poisson system in a bounded domain of R3. We assign a Dirichlet boundary condition for the wave function and a Neumann boundary condition for the potential ø.In particular this last condition has some interesting consequences which force us to consider the case in which the interaction “constant” q is merely a constant function or not. However with very mild assumption on q we are able to find infinitely many solutions in both cases. The result presented here can be found with all the details in the papers [14, 16]
