TL;DR: In this paper, a Raman-based approach for the analysis of saliva, able to significantly discriminate the signal of patients with a current infection by COVID-19 from healthy subjects and/or subjects with a past infection, was presented.

TL;DR: Although no specific studies have been conducted on patients with ALS, surgical therapies might represent a valid option for treatment of sialorrhea since there is no tachyphylaxis or need for repeated therapeutic sessions.

TL;DR: It was hypothesized that a very early start of NIV could lengthen the free interval before death compared to later‐start NIV; as a secondary outcome, the survival rate of patients on NIV without tracheotomy was also evaluated.

TL;DR: The proposed approach showed a promising accuracy in ALS onset discrimination, using a fast and sensitive procedure that can make more efficient the diagnostic procedure and the monitoring of therapeutic and rehabilitative processes in ALS.

TL;DR: The aim of this review is to examine the techniques used for daytime support of continuous noninvasive ventilatory support (CNVS) in patients with chest wall deformities, neuromuscular diseases, morbid obesity, high level spinal cord injury and idiopathic, primary or secondary disorders of the vents.
