Efficacy of continuous tracheal gas insufflation in spontaneously breathing canine with acute lung injury.
To investigate the effects of continuous tracheal gas insufflation (CTGI) combined with biphasic intermittent positive airway pressure (BIPAP) ventilation on dogs with spontaneous breathing. ⋯ Using BIPAP combined with CTGI does not cause asynchrony between ventilator and spontaneous breathing, but significantly decreases airway pressure with no influence on hemodynamics and oxygenation. Therefore, BIPAP with CTGI may be a useful support technique, especially in cases where the airway pressure should be limited.

Comparative StudyMagnetic resonance imaging in distinguishing malignant from benign pleural disease.
To explore the role of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in distinguishing malignant from benign pleural disease. ⋯ Compared with those on CT, the morphologic features on MRI allowed a mostly equal and in some cases superior detection and evaluation of the spread of pleural disease. In combination with signal intensity and morphologic features, MRI is very useful in distinguishing malignant from benign pleural disease.
