Article Abstract
E-noses are innovative tools used for exhaled volatile organic compound (VOC) analysis, which have shown their potential in several diseases. Before obtaining a full validation of these instruments in clinical settings, a number of methodological issues still have to be established. We aimed to assess whether variations in breathing rhythm during wash-in with VOC-filtered air before exhaled air collection reflect changes in the exhaled VOC profile when analyzed by an e-nose (Cyranose 320). We enrolled 20 normal subjects and randomly collected their exhaled breath at three different breathing rhythms during wash-in: (a) normal rhythm (respiratory rate (RR) between 12 and 18/min), (b) fast rhythm (RR > 25/min) and (c) slow rhythm (RR < 10/min). Exhaled breath was collected by a previously validated method (Dragonieri et al., J. Bras. Pneumol. 2016) and analyzed by the e-nose. Using principal component analysis (PCA), no significant variations in the exhaled VOC profile were shown among the three breathing rhythms. Subsequent linear discriminant analysis (LDA) confirmed the above findings, with a cross-validated accuracy of 45% ( = ns). We concluded that the exhaled VOC profile, analyzed by an e-nose, is not influenced by variations in breathing rhythm during wash-in.

In vertebrates, the basic respiratory rhythm is modified by both sensory feedback and input from higher centers to produce a broad range of breathing patterns. In carp (Cyprinus carpio L.), breathing is often episodic while in trout (Onchorhynchus mykiss) it is continuous and rhythmic except when water is hyperoxic.

Objective: To review the associations between various neurodevelopmental disorders and the most prevalent sleep disorders in children and adolescents, focusing on clinical characteristics and diagnostic approaches.
Data Sources: A literature review was conducted using the PubMed database, employing the search terms "neurodevelopmental disorders" and "sleep disorders," including "insomnia," "sleep-related breathing disorders," "circadian rhythm sleep-wake disorders," "sleep-related movement disorders," "parasomnias," and "central disorders of hypersomnolence." Specific diagnostic terms related to neurodevelopmental and sleep disorders were also utilized.

Introduction And Importance: Cardiac atherosclerotic disease (CAD), the leading cause to cardiovascular disease-related death, coexisting with cardiac myxoma, the commonest benign primary cardiac neoplasm, is rare. The treatment of the comorbidity is complicated due to the rarity and inexperience.
Case Presentation: A 65-year old male patient with intermittent chest tightness and shortness of breath for 10 years was admitted for further work-up.

Scrub typhus, a common febrile illness in South Asia, can rarely cause life-threatening myocarditis with complete heart block. We report a 43-year-old man presenting with a one-week history of fever, shortness of breath, and abdominal pain. Laboratory findings showed transaminitis, hypoalbuminemia, elevated C-reactive protein, and mild hypokalemia, suggesting an infectious etiology.

Sleep problems are among the most frequently reported non-motor symptoms of Parkinson's disease (PD), with a broad range of disorders: insomnia, REM sleep behavior disorder, restless legs syndrome, excessive daytime sleepiness, and sleep-related breathing disorders. These disturbances evolve in complexity across PD severity stages, significantly impact the patients' quality of life and may exacerbate motor and other non-motor symptoms. Neurodegenerative processes, impaired function of neurotransmitters, medication side effects, circadian rhythm dysfunction are among the most proposed mechanisms that may explain the frequent occurrence of sleep disorders in PD.
