A lung computed tomographic assessment of positive end-expiratory pressure-induced lung overdistension
(1998-12-01)
The aim of this study was to assess positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP)-induced lung overdistension and alveolar recruitment in six patients with acute lung injury (ALI) using a computed tomographic (CT) scan method. ...
A lung computed tomographic assessment of positive end-expiratory pressure-induced lung overdistension
(1998-12-01)
The aim of this study was to assess positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP)-induced lung overdistension and alveolar recruitment in six patients with acute lung injury (ALI) using a computed tomographic (CT) scan method. ...
Developmental and genetic components explain enhanced pulmonary volumes of female peruvian quechua
(Wiley, 2012)
High altitude natives have enlarged vital capacities and residual volumes (RV). Because pulmonary volumes are an indication of functionally relevant traits, such as diffusion capacity, the understanding of the factors ...
Inspiratory fraction and exercise impairment in COPD patients GOLD stages II-III
(European Respiratory Soc Journals Ltd, 2006-11-01)
The inspiratory-to-total lung capacity ratio or inspiratory fraction (inspiratory capacity (IC)/total lung capacity (TLC)) may be functionally more representative than traditional indices of resting airflow limitation and ...
Trichinella spiralis infection rapidly induces lung inflammatory response: the lung as the site of helminthocytotoxic activity
(Elsevier Gmbh, 2011-09)
In the present work, we studied the kinetics of the appearance of different immunological parameters in the lungs during the intestinal phase of infection with Trichinella spiralis. We also evaluated the lung's role in the ...
Compensatory lung growth in autologous lobar implant: Experimental study in dogs
(Elsevier B.V., 2006-04-01)
Background. The best way to study compensatory lung growth (CLG) is in a transplant without rejection. Since immunosuppressive drugs may influence CLG, it is better to not use them. Therefore we studied CLG in a reimplant ...
A comparison of visual and quantitative methods to identify interstitial lung abnormalities
(2015)
Abstract
Background
Evidence suggests that individuals with interstitial lung abnormalities (ILA) on a chest computed tomogram (CT) may have an increased risk to develop a ...
Reference values for inspiratory capacity in healthy nonsmokers over age 50 years
(EDICIONES DOYMA S/L, 2007)
Objective: The role of dynamic hyperinflation in triggering dyspnea and limiting exercise capacity in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease has been recognized in recent years. The degree of dynamic hyperinflation ...
Differences in lung glutathione metabolism may account for rodent susceptibility in elastase-induced emphysema development
(AMER PHYSIOLOGICAL SOC, 2009)
Borzone GR, Liberona LF, Bustamante AP, Saez CG, Olmos PR, Vecchiola A, Villagran A, Serrano C, Reyes TP. Differences in lung glutathione metabolism may account for rodent susceptibility in elastase-induced emphysema ...
