The rate of sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP) is ~1 per 1000 patients each year. Terminal events reportedly involve repeated and prolonged apnea, suggesting a failure to autoresuscitate. To better understand the mechanisms and identify novel therapeutics, standardized tests to screen for autoresuscitation efficacy are needed in preclinical SUDEP.

Rationale: Tracheomalacia, typically seen in relapsing polychondritis,[1] is rarely reported in association with congenital heart disease (CHD). In patients with pulmonary hypoperfusion-type CHD, surgical repair results in a rapid increase in pulmonary blood flow, predisposing them to mucus retention, airway obstruction, and respiratory distress. We describe acute airway collapse in a patient with double outlet right ventricle and congenital bronchial stenosis following cardiac repair.

The lung undergoes continuous remodeling throughout normal development and aging, including changes to alveolar and capillary structure and function. While histological methods allow for static analysis of these age-related changes, characterizing the changes that occur in response to mechanical stimuli remains difficult, particularly over a dynamic, physiologically relevant range in a functioning lung. Alveolar and capillary distension - the change in diameter of alveoli and capillaries, respectively, in response to pressure changes - is one such process, where dynamically controlling and monitoring the diameter of the same capillary or alveolus is essential to inferring its mechanical properties.

Unlabelled: Informal settlements, where over 1 billion people live globally, are extremely vulnerable to fire events. Thermally thin steel-clad timber-framed homes found in South African informal settlements are a prime example of this. In this paper, we explore, through six full-scale laboratory experiments and modelling, the influence of opening locations, areas, and aspect ratios, on the fire dynamics of thermally thin and leaky compartments.

CFD Evaluation of Far-UVCand Air Cleaning Technologies in Classrooms without Mechanical Ventilation.

J Hazard Mater

September 2025

Architectural Engineering Department, Pennsylvania State University, University Park, PA, USA. Electronic address:

Far-UVC systems and air cleaners are effective strategies for controlling airborne pathogen transmission, particularly in densely occupied spaces with insufficient ventilation, such as school classrooms. This study evaluates the disinfection performance and ozone (O) formation of different far-UVC systems and air cleaners in a standard-sized classroom using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation. Results show that ceiling-mounted far-UVC systems reduce airborne pathogen exposure by up to 30 % more than upper-room and wall-mounted configurations, based on intake fractions and room-average concentrations.
