Our legacy plethysmograph system has officially retired starting September 1, 2019. Over the past few years it has become increasingly difficult to support our legacy plethysmography data acquisition hardware and...
The airways contribute to the total compliance of the respiratory system and, over the last 50 years or so, researchers have had an interest in establishing their specific contribution...
At this year’s annual meeting, SCIREQ focused our discussions around our plethysmography system – the vivoFlow – which permits a continuous, non-invasive assessment of breathing patterns in conscious subjects,...
SCIREQ recently attended this year’s Society of Toxicology (SOT 2022) Annual Meeting and ToxExpo. A common topic was in vitro exposure with air pollutants or wood fire smoke exposure....
Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSA) is a complete or partial airway obstruction that can cause significant physiological disturbances with various clinical impacts such as snoring, nocturnal awakening, or daytime...
Longitudinal studies offer a wealth of information, particularly for diseases progression or development studies. In addition, smaller sample sizes are possible to accumulate significant data, as subject assessment is...
Animal models are crucial in advancing our knowledge and understanding of pulmonary diseases. Using alternatives models, such as computer simulations, is simply not advanced enough to elucidate all the...
As in humans, the Angiotensin I Converting Enzyme 2 (ACE2) receptors of hamsters naturally permit binding of the SARS-CoV-2 virus spike protein. This suggests that hamsters are an important
The emergence of novel zoonotic outbreaks such as COVID-19 continue to result in high mortality rates, as seen in previous epidemics (i.e SARS & MERS).
Whole Body Plethysmograph – vivoFlow Launches at EB 2019 SCIREQ is preparing for the upcoming Experimental Biology Meeting that will take place in Orlando from April 6-9, 2019. At this meeting...
