European Respiratory Journal, 1989
Agenesis of the lung is extremely rare. Developmental defects of the lung are usually associated with other congenital malformations. Half of all reported patients die either at birth or within the first 5 yrs of life. We report a case of right lung agenesis with absence of the left kidney, and fusion anomaly between ribs 4 and 5 on the left hemithorax.

LUNG PRESERVATION AND LUNG INJURY
Chest Surgery Clinics of North America, 1995Lung preservation and its attendant ischemia-reperfusion injury is a complex phenomenon that begins with lung injury that may be present in the donor before any preservation intervention. Acute preservation interventions in common use include single-flush perfusion and donor core-cooling on cardiopulmonary bypass.

1998
Abstract The lungs are the principal organs of the respiratory system. They function as a gas exchange unit to facilitate uptake of oxygen and elimination of carbon dioxide from the blood as it traverses the pulmonary capillaries. The techniques of nuclear medicine provide a window through which the normal function of lung (physiology ...

HEART-LUNG AND LUNG TRANSPLANTATION
Radiologic Clinics of North America, 1995Lung and heart-lung transplantation have evolved into successful therapeutic options in patients with end-stage cardiopulmonary disease. Imaging studies extend from pretransplant evaluation to posttransplant monitoring for complications. Although many radiologic features are considered nonspecific, improved understanding of underlying pathologic and ...

Lung regeneration and lung bioengineering
Current Opinion in AnaesthesiologyPurpose of review Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease affects more than 65 million people worldwide. Lung transplantation is the only definitive treatment. However, donor availability is limited in meeting the demand. Recent findings Lung regeneration is a new therapeutic strategy

Clinical Science, 1984
Background: Feldberg & Kellaway [1] were the first to demonstrate the formation and release from envenomed dog and monkey lungs of a substance which caused a delayed and slow contraction of the guinea-pig jejunum; subsequently, Kellaway & Trethewie [2] described release of a slow-reacting substance (SRS) during acute anaphylaxis of the guinea ...

Lung Transplantation for Multifocal Lung Adenocarcinoma (Multifocal Lung Carcinoma)
Thoracic Surgery Clinics, 2014Lung transplantation is an acceptable treatment option in highly selected patients with lung limited AIS or MIA. Aside from the cancer diagnosis, ideal candidates should not possess any absolute or relative contraindications to lung transplantation as described by the ISHLT.

Lung Development and Adult Lung Diseases
Chest, 2007Adult respiratory diseases are caused by many factors, including genetic-environmental interaction. Genetic abnormalities can impact early fetal lung development, postnatal lung maturation, as well as adult lung injury and repair. Studies suggest that abnormally developed lung structure and function may contribute as a susceptibility factor for several

Seminars in Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery
Lung transplantation for cancer is controversial. The hesitancy has largely been driven by historical outcomes. However, early-stage lung cancer does not significantly affect the outcome of lung transplant for other end-stage lung diseases. We have also made more donor lungs available and hence can consider transplanting patients where the only ...

Lung Transplantation for Interstitial Lung Disease
Clinics in Chest Medicine, 2012For selected parenchymal lung disease patients who fail to respond to medical therapy and demonstrate declines in function that place them at increased risk for mortality, lung transplantation should be considered. Lung transplantation remains a complex medical intervention that requires a dedicated recipient and medical team.
