Functional morphology of the lungs of the green iguana, Iguana iguana, in relation of Body mass (Squamata: Reptilia)
(2018-01-01)
Body mass is one of the most influencing factors of metabolic rate and gas exchange of animals, and also related to activity pattern and occupancy of ecological niches. This study aimed to understand the relationships ...
Simvastatin attenuates lung functional and vascular effects of hyperoxia in preterm rabbits
(Nature Pub Group, 2020-06)
Background: Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) remains a frequent complication following preterm birth, affecting respiratory health throughout life. Transcriptome analysis in a preterm rabbit model for BPD revealed dysregulation ...
Preterm birth impairs postnatal lung development in the neonatal rabbit model
(2020)
Background: Bronchopulmonary dysplasia continues to cause important respiratory morbidity throughout life, and new therapies are needed. The common denominator of all BPD cases is preterm birth, however most preclinical ...
Influence of chest wall on lung mechanics during inspiration
(Philadelphia, 2014-01-29)
RATIONALE: The interaction between lungs and chest wall influences lung volume, that determines lung history during respiration cycle. In this study, the influence of chest wall mechanics on respiratory system is assessed ...
Impact of rhinitis on lung function in children and adolescents without asthma
(Elsevier Doyma Sl, 2016-11)
Subclinical spirometric abnormalities may be detected in patients with rhinitis without asthma, proportional to the severity established by ARIA (Allergic Rhinitis and Its Impact on Asthma) guidelines. New criteria of ...
Lung Diffusing Capacity Relates Better to Short-Term Progression on HRCT Abnormalities Than Spirometry in Mild Asbestosis
(WILEY-LISS, 2011)
Background Pulmonary function tests (PFT), particularly spirometry and lung diffusing capacity for carbon monoxide (DL(CO)), have been considered useful methods for the detection of the progression of interstitial asbestos ...
Desaturation - distance ratio: a new concept for a functional assessment of interstitial lung diseases
(Faculdade de Medicina / USP, 2010)
INTRODUCTION: The functional evaluation has become increasingly important in the understanding and management of patients with interstitial lung diseases. The cardiopulmonary exercise test and the six-minute walk test ...
A lung image reconstruction from computed radiography images as a tool to tuberculosis treatment control
(Bmc, 2019-02-14)
Background: Tuberculosis (TB) is an infectious lung disease with high worldwide incidence that severely compromises the quality of life in affected individuals. Clinical tests are currently employed to monitor pulmonary ...
Acute Lung Injury in Cholinergic-Deficient Mice Supports Anti-Inflammatory Role of α7 Nicotinic Acetylcholine Receptor
(Nicola Scichilone, 2021-07)
Abstract: (1) Background: The lung cholinergic pathway is important for controlling pulmonary inflammation in acute lung injury, a condition that is characterized by a sudden onset and intense inflammation. This study ...
