Nasal continuous positive airway pressure (NCPAP) is a noninvasive ventilatory support that may reduce the need for mechanical ventilation in preterm infants with respiratory distress syndrome. Heliox, a helium-oxygen mixture, has shown positive effects, especially in obstructive diseases.

NCPAP with heliox reduces the need for mechanical ventilation in preterm infants with respiratory distress syndrome in comparison with NCPAP with medical air. (Read the full article)

Nasal continuous positive airway pressure (NCPAP) is commonly given to premature infants with nasal prongs and nasal masks. Prongs and masks appear to injure the nose of preterm infants with equal frequency.

Our clinical pathway demonstrated high sensitivity and specificity. (Read the full article)

  By Wayne Allyn Root Dear President Trump, here’s an important message from your supporters. First it was “Stormy Daniels.” Then, “Russian Collusion.” Followed by “the Ukrainian Hoax.” Now, it’s “Coronavirus pandemic” and the resulting economic catastophe. “THEY” never give up. But who is “THEY?” “THEY” can’t possibly be Pelosi, Schumer, Schiff, Nadler, Maxine Waters, AOC, et al. Their IQ totaled together and multiplied by 1000 isn’t enough brainpower to take you down, Mr. President.

Thank God it’s you, as President of the United States, or “THEY” would have already won. There are those who think this pandemic was a planned attack. It wasn’t. It’s not a hoax. It’s very real- as I’ve said from day one. While Coronavirus is a very real pandemic, it was quickly turned into a “target of opportunity.” Likely an off-shoot of the socialist/communist Cloward- Piven plan I learned from my America-hating classmates at Columbia University three decades ago. The goal of Cloward-Piven was to overwhelm the US economic system; bury the economy under a mountain of debt; take down capitalism; bankrupt every business owner in America; and turn America into a socialist basket case like Cuba. Sound familiar? It’s all happening right now. I believe Soros and his socialist, globalist, elitist, America-hating cabal saw the Coron
