Clinical studies do not show that breathing hot steam or humidified air is helpful and currently it rarely is used.

The collagen/cell mixtures were incubated in humidified air at 37 C and contraction was monitored for 72 hours.

A similar lack of data exists for the use of heated humidified air.

The researchers reviewed 135 mild to moderate cases of croup in children who were treated with humidified air in a hospital or not treated at all.

Cells were maintained in humidified air containing 5% CO 2 for two weeks to allow for cell-cell junctions to mature.

These units provide a flow of humidified air to the cases through a system of distribution pipes.

Finally, the remaining humidified air is expelled from the greenhouse and used to improve growing conditions for outdoor plants.

Inhalation of hot steam or humidified air is a traditional self-care treatment, but clinical studies have failed to show effectiveness and currently it is rarely used.

Then, with a green tube like the one that winds through "Savant," Vincent hooked him up to a supply of humidified air mixed with oxygen.

He'd been treated with IV steroids and bronchodilators as well as humidified air and bed rest.
