Evaluation of Respiratory Dynamics in an Asymmetric Lung Compliance Model [PDF]
Korean Journal of Critical Care Medicine, 2017 Background Unilateral lung hyperinflation develops in lungs with asymmetric compliance, which can lead to vital instability. The aim of this study was to investigate the respiratory dynamics and the effect of airway diameter on the distribution of tidal ...

Guanylyl cyclase activation reverses resistive breathing–induced lung injury and inflammation [PDF]
, 2015 Inspiratory resistive breathing (RB), encountered in obstructive lung diseases, induces lung injury. The soluble guanylyl cyclase (sGC)/cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) pathway is down-regulated in chronic and acute animal models of RB, such as ...
