Postperfusion lung syndrome: Respiratory mechanics, respiratory indices and biomarkers
Postperfusion lung syndrome is rare but lethal. Secondary inflammatory response was the popularly accepted theory for the underlying etiology. Respiratory index (RI) and arterial oxygen tension/fractional inspired oxygen can be reliable indices for the ...

Ligation of protease-activated receptor 1 enhances alpha(v)beta(6) integrin-dependent TGF-beta activation and promotes acute lung injury [PDF]
Activation of latent TGF-beta by the alpha(v)beta(6) integrin is a critical step in the development of acute lung injury. However, the mechanism by which a alpha(v)beta(6)-mediated TGF-beta activation is regulated has not been identified.

Augmented saddle point formulation of the steady-state Stefan--Maxwell diffusion problem [PDF]
We investigate structure-preserving finite element discretizations of the steady-state Stefan--Maxwell diffusion problem which governs diffusion within a phase consisting of multiple species. An approach inspired by augmented Lagrangian methods allows us to construct a symmetric positive definite augmented Onsager transport matrix, which in turn leads ...

Vitamin D to prevent lung injury following esophagectomy: A randomized, placebo-controlled trial [PDF]
Objectives: Observational studies suggest an association between vitamin D deficiency and adverse outcomes of critical illness and identify it as a potential risk factor for the development of lung injury.

Pulmonary Edema in Healthy Subjects in Extreme Conditions
There are several pieces of evidence showing occurrence of pulmonary edema (PE) in healthy subjects in extreme conditions consisting of extreme psychophysical demand in normal environment and psychophysical performances in extreme environment.

Proton scattering power of some tissue-equivalent plastics [PDF]
Proton scattering in some water and tissue equivalent phantom materials was measured to evaluate their simulation accuracy of water and respective human biological tissues. The measurements were performed on the medical facility of the ITEP synchrotron, proton energy was 219 MeV, a narrow beam was formed by a 3 mm collimator.

Slow dynamics of phospholipid monolayers at the air/water interface [PDF]
Phospholipid monolayers at the air-water interface serve as model systems for various biological interfaces, e.g. lung surfactant layers and outer leaflets of cell membranes. Although the dynamical (viscoelastic) properties of these interfaces may play a key role in stability, dynamics and function, the relatively weak rheological properties of most ...

Goal-directed therapy in intraoperative fluid and hemodynamic management. [PDF]
Intraoperative fluid management is pivotal to the outcome and success of surgery, especially in high-risk procedures. Empirical formula and invasive static monitoring have been traditionally used to guide intraoperative fluid management and assess volume
