In some species the syrinx is located at the bifurcation point of the trachea into the two main bronchi (tracheal vocal head), while in some in the main bronchi (bronchial vocal head). During inspiration, part of the air flows into the lungs, and the part needed for singing flows into the air sacs adjacent to the lungs. During expiration, air leaves the air sacs and flows through the syrinx, where the song is created. When birds sing in two voices at the same time, individual sequences are formed simultaneously in the right and left parts of the syrinx.The song analysis is based on spectrograms (so-called sonagrams), which graphically represent the frequency spectrum of bird song.The song consists of one or more verses, which in turn consist of the variable or constant sequence of motives or syllables. Some songbirds have an enormous repertoire of syllables and verses (max. up to 7000 verses per day). In addition to singing, most bird species also have much simpler begging, contact, threatening, flight, alarm and copulation calls.Male birds sing primarily for two reasons: 1. They use song to woo a potential partner. This song provides the females with important information about the applicant's performance and health. 2. Singing serves to defend the territory.In around 40 % of songbird species, females also sing. Pairs of some species sing in perfect synchronization.A number of songbirds imitate both the voices of other songbirds and ambient noises, and many songbirds have regional dialects.Song development depends on genetics and other factors such as the environment, metabolism and hormonal influences. It proceeds step by step and initially includes relatively primitive sequences (so-called \"subsongs\"), then leads through more complex intermediate forms (\"plastic songs\") and finally to the completed singing pattern (\"full songs\").Young birds learn the song of their species at a time when they are not yet singing themselves, often as nestlings aged 10 to 50 days from older members of the species, usually from their fathers.The song of young birds develops, based on the template of adult song, in a network of sensory-motor neurons in the forebrain.Songbirds, especially the zebra finch, currently offer the best model for the neural basis of human language learning. In birds, the so-called \"High Vocal Center\" orchestrates all brain regions relevant to songs, with the neural control of song being sensitive to sex hormones.</p>","PeriodicalId":20197,"journal":{"name":"Pneumologie","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2025-01-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143075094","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A medical history interview and the assessment of parameters such as ventilation measurements were performed via a video portal.

It offers comprehensive recommendations for the treatment of chronic respiratory failure in various underlying conditions, such as COPD, thoraco-restrictive diseases, obesity-hypoventilation syndrome, and neuromuscular diseases. An important innovation is the separation of the previous S2k guideline dating back to 2017, which included both invasive and non-invasive ventilation therapy. Due to increased scientific evidence and a significant rise in the number of affected patients, these distinct forms of therapy are now addressed separately in two different guidelines.The aim of the guideline is to improve the treatment of patients with chronic respiratory insufficiency using non-invasive ventilation and to make the indications and therapy recommendations accessible to all involved in the treatment process. It is based on the latest scientific evidence and replaces the previous guideline. This revised guideline provides detailed recommendations on the application of non-invasive ventilation, ventilation settings, and the subsequent follow-up of treatment.In addition to the updated evidence, important new features of this S3 guideline include new recommendations on patient care and numerous detailed treatment pathways that make the guideline more user-friendly. Furthermore, a completely revised section is dedicated to ethical issues and offers recommendations for end-of-life care.

Currently, combined, immune checkpoint-inhibitor-based therapy concepts are also advancing into early, resectable stages of NSCLC. Neoadjuvant and perioperative chemoimmunotherapy opened up a promising new preoperative treatment approach, but also raises some new questions and challenges. With the expanded perioperative treatment options and the perspective on a further improvement in the absence of recurrence after tumor resection, there is push towards comprehensively collecting therapy-relevant findings for imaging, molecular and histopathological diagnostics at an early stage. All patients with lung carcinoma, regardless of the therapy intention, should be presented to an interdisciplinary tumor board with thoracic oncological expertise. This is regularly given in certified lung cancer centers.A standardized procedure contributes to optimized pre-therapeutic diagnostics and facilitates coordination for the best possible multimodal approach in the interdisciplinary tumor board. In the case of centrally located resectable tumors, for example, neoadjuvant treatment increases the chances of a procedure that is as parenchymal sparing as possible. Some questions cannot yet be answered conclusively. Perioperative systemic therapy with molecular-targeted and immune checkpoint inhibitors is the subject of numerous ongoing studies. The considerable dynamics in newly approved therapies and the development of perioperative therapy concepts require continuous adaptation of diagnostic algorithms and standards.
