Sunday Respiratory Video: LUNG TRIO

We are continuing Sunday Respiratory Video posts.
A trio of lungs breathing. Created during a residency at Oboro in Montreal, it is a prototype for the project Breath I/O (Chorus of Lungs).

The breathing was recorded at Oboro and stretched/compressed to give each pair of lungs a different rhythm. The lung animations are stretched/compressed to match the breathing.

27 June is World Spirometry Day 2012

World Spirometry Day (WSD) 2012 will take place during the Olympic year. The campaign focuses on sport and the lungs, and resources are provided for all those organising testing events related to the Olympic theme. WSD 2012 will launch on June 27 but testing will not be limited to this day alone. Participants are encouraged to capitalise on the Olympics and hold events in the run up to the games on July 27 and beyond.

I share with you my presentation, which was dedicated to the Launch of World Spirometry Day 2012 in Moldova.

We are grateful for your outstanding contribution to Respiratory Decade in the world and your continuing support of Respiratory Decade campaign!

Respiratory Decade 2012: Willing is not enough; we must do

Todays post I would like to start with the words of the famous German poet  Johann von Goethe: 

Knowing is not enough; we must apply. 

Willing is not enough; we must do.

We are creating social media Respiratory platform: 

• with online tools which can facilitate conversations about Respiratory diseases;

• with connections between Respiratory friends, peers and influencers;

• with international collaborations;

• with a call for humanizing personas and audiences, and the stories that link them together;

• with compassion;

• with words, pictures, video, chatter, audio, and also experiences, observations, opinions, news, and insights.

We are inviting you for collaboration!
Thank you for you help and permanent support!

World Rare Disease Day 2012

On the last day of February, millions of people around the world will be observing World Rare Disease Day.  There will be activities across the U.S., throughout Europe, in Canada, in Australia, in China and elsewhere to focus attention on rare diseases as a public health issue.

In the U.S., a disease is considered rare if it affects fewer than 200,000 people.  Some rare diseases such as Lou Gehrig’s disease (ALS) are well known to the public.  However, many others are not, and you can imagine the loneliness of having a disease that most people have never heard of, that has no treatment, and that is not even being studied by any medical researchers.
Keenan Cahill became internet legend, he is a boy with Maroteaux–Lamy syndrome. We want to share one of his inspirational videos, which demonstrates to everybody that people with rare conditions are fantastic!

Fifth International Rare Disease Day has a very beautiful motto:

"Rare but Strong Together"
