Active interfacial dynamic transport of fluid in fibrous connective tissues and a hypothesis of interstitial fluid circulatory system [PDF]
Fluid in interstitial spaces accounts for ~20% of an adult body weight. Does it circulate around the body like vascular circulations besides a diffusive and short-ranged transport? This bold conjecture has been debated for decades. As a conventional physiological concept, interstitial space was the space between cells and a micron-sized space. Fluid in

Optic nerve ultrasound for fluid status assessment in patients with severe preeclampsia
There are no data on usefulness of optic nerve sheath diameter (ONSD) as a marker of patient’s fluid status in preeclampsia. The objective was to examine potential correlation between ONSD and lung ultrasound estimates of extravascular lung water in ...

Surface tension effects on flow dynamics and alveolar mechanics in the acinar region of human lung [PDF]
Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations, in-vitro setups, and experimental ex-vivo approaches have been applied to numerous alveolar geometries over the past years. They aimed to study and examine airflow patterns, particle transport, and particle-alveolar wall deposition fractions.

Aspiration-Induced Acute Lung Injury in Victims with Isolated Severe Brain Injury
Objective: to determine the time and development rate of acute lung injury (ALI) in severe brain injury (SBI) complicated by aspiration of gastric contents or blood. Subjects and methods. Twenty-nine patients aged 19 to 70 years, who had isolated SBI, of

Automated CT Lung Cancer Screening Workflow using 3D Camera [PDF]
Despite recent developments in CT planning that enabled automation in patient positioning, time-consuming scout scans are still needed to compute dose profile and ensure the patient is properly positioned. In this paper, we present a novel method which eliminates the need for scout scans in CT lung cancer screening by estimating patient scan range ...

Extravascular lung water (EVLW) is a basic symptom of congestive heart failure and other conditions. Computed tomography (CT) is standard method used to assess EVLW, but it requires ionizing radiation and radiology facilities.

Remodelling of Membrane Rafts Expression in Lung Cells as an Early Sign of Mechanotransduction-Signalling in Pulmonary Edema [PDF]
Membrane rafts (MRs) are clusters of lipids, organized in a “quasicrystalline” liquid-order phase, organized on the cell surface and whose pattern of molecules and physicochemical properties are distinct from those of the surrounding plasma membrane ...

Background. Pulmonary edema is a common complication in critically ill patients. The liberal tactics of fluid therapy and pathological accumulation of extravascular lung water increase the risks of mortality in Intensive Care Unit patients.
