Biomarkers of lung congestion and injury in acute heart failure
Abstract Acute heart failure (AHF) classification and management are primarily based on lung congestion and/or hypoperfusion. The quantification of the vascular and tissue lung damage is not standard practice though biomarkers of lung injury may play a relevant role in this context.

Surgical site infections and sepsis in gynecological surgery
Abstract Despite advancements in infection control, surgical site infections (SSIs) and postoperative sepsis remain significant challenges in gynecological surgery, contributing to increased morbidity, mortality, and healthcare costs. In low‐income countries, circulatory failure due to septic shock leads to most deaths after surgery, with sepsis ...

ABSTRACT The aging of the world population gave rise to an increased prevalence of many lung diseases, with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease now ranking as the third‐leading cause of death according to the World Health Organization. To diagnose lung disease, a thorough assessment of lung function is essential since it may reveal unique signatures ...

An animal model of SARS produced by infection of Macaca mulatta with SARS coronavirus. [PDF]
A new SARS animal model was established by inoculating SARS coronavirus (SARS-CoV) into rhesus macaques (Macaca mulatta) through the nasal cavity. Pathological pulmonary changes were successively detected on days 5-60 after virus inoculation.

Homeostasis as the Mechanism of Evolution. [PDF]
Homeostasis is conventionally thought of merely as a synchronic (same time) servo-mechanism that maintains the status quo for organismal physiology. However, when seen from the perspective of developmental physiology, homeostasis is a robust, dynamic ...

Spatial and temporal changes in extracellular elastin and laminin distribution during lung alveolar development [PDF]
Lung alveolarization requires precise coordination of cell growth with extracellular matrix (ECM) synthesis and deposition. The role of extracellular matrices in alveogenesis is not fully understood, because prior knowledge is largely extrapolated from ...

Age‐Dependent Correlation of Pulmonary Function Impairment and Aortic Arch Stiffness in Mice
This study examined the relationship between aortic arch stiffness and lung function in aging mice. Multiple linear regression modeling showed moderate to strong correlations between the rise in aortic arch stiffness and changes in lung function as the mice progressively aged.

Age-related changes in the respiratory system [PDF]
This article summarises the main structural and physiological changes which take place in the lung from young adulthood to senescence. An understanding of these changes helps the clinician to correctly interpret some results of radiology and pulmonary ...
