Histologic and functional evaluation of lungs reconditioned by ex vivo lung perfusion
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE INCNEW YORK, 2012)
BACKGROUND: Only about 15% of donor lungs are considered suitable for transplantation (LTx). Ex vivo lung perfusion (EVLP) has been developed as a method to reassess and repair damaged lungs. We report our experience with ...
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. ...

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. ...
Low Body Mass Index Is Associated with Higher Odds of COPD and Lower Lung Function in Low- and Middle-Income Countries
(Taylor and Francis, 2019)
The relationship of body mass index (BMI) with lung function and COPD has been previously described in several high-income settings. However, few studies have examined this relationship in resource-limited settings where ...
Placental transmogrification of the lung presenting as giant bullae with soft-fatty components
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV, 2008)
A 44-year-old man presented with progressive dyspnea and a previous pneumothorax. Chest CT scan showed a mediastinal shift due to giant bullae containing soft tissue and fatty components in the left lower lung Lobe, and a ...
Spirometric assessment of lung transplant patients: one year follow-up
(Faculdade de Medicina / USP, 2009)
OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to compare spirometry data between patients who underwent single-lung or double-lung transplantation the first year after transplantation. INTRODUCTION: Lung transplantation, which ...
Progressive Vascular Functional and Structural Damage in a Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia Model in Preterm Rabbits Exposed to Hyperoxia
(2016)
Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) is caused by preterm neonatal lung injury and results in oxygen dependency and pulmonary hypertension. Current clinical management fails to reduce the incidence of BPD, which calls for novel ...
Lung computed tomography during a lung recruitment maneuver in patients with acute lung injury
(2003)
Objective: To assess the acute effect of a lung recruitment maneuver (LRM) on lung morphology in patients with acute lung injury (ALI) or acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Patients: Ten patients with ALI/ARDS on ...
