Theoretical open-loop model of respiratory mechanics in the extremely preterm infant [PDF]
Non-invasive ventilation is increasingly used for respiratory support in preterm infants, and is associated with a lower risk of chronic lung disease.

Platelet kinetics in the pulmonary microcirculation in vivo assessed by intravital microscopy [PDF]
Growing evidence supports the substantial pathophysiological impact of platelets on the development of acute lung injury. Methods for studying these cellular mechanisms in vivo are not present yet.

High-speed three-dimensional imaging of the pulmonary alveoli [PDF]
Investigating the structure and function of pulmonary alveoli in vivo is crucial for understanding the normal and diseased lung. In particular, understanding the three-dimensional geometry and relationship of the terminal alveoli to their neighboring alveoli, alveolar ducts and acini during respiration would be a major advance.

Pulmonary alveolar type I cell population consists of two distinct subtypes that differ in cell fate. [PDF]
Pulmonary alveolar type I (AT1) cells cover more than 95% of alveolar surface and are essential for the air-blood barrier function of lungs. AT1 cells have been shown to retain developmental plasticity during alveolar regeneration.

Review of hypoxaemia in the anaesthetized horse: predisposing factors, consequences and management [PDF]
Objectives: To discuss how hypoxaemia might be harmful and why the horse is particularly predisposed to developing it. To review the strategies that are used to manage hypoxaemia in anaesthetised horses, to describe how successful these strategies are

Acute inflammatory response to contrast agent aspiration and its mechanisms in the rat lung. [PDF]
Objectives/hypothesisContrast agent (CA) aspiration is an established complication of upper gastrointestinal and videofluoroscopic swallow studies. The underlying molecular biological mechanisms of acute response to CA aspiration in the respiratory ...

Gaseous Diffusion from Alveoli to Pulmonary Vessels of Considerable Size [PDF]
Thirty patients have been presented in whom the appearance of inhaled hydrogen gas at an electrode in the wedge position of a pulmonary artery was seen to occur within two seconds. In 13 of these patients the appearance of hydrogen occurred with equal or nearly equal rapidity in a pulmonary artery at least 3 mm in diameter.

Phylogenetic analysis of the Camaenidae (Mollusca: Stylommatophora) with special emphasis on the american taxa [PDF]
The monophyly of the land snail family Camaenidae has been in doubt due to a disjunct bihemispheric distributional pattern and to the lack of morphological synapomorphies.

Inhaled Insulin: Intrapulmonary or Intranasal? [PDF]
Initial attempts delivered the insulin hormone intramuscularly, intravenously, and eventually subcutaneously. Other routes of administration of the drug were explored.

Effect of scoliosis on growth of alveoli and pulmonary arteries and on right ventricle [PDF]
During childhood the lung not only grows in size but alveoli and arteries multiply and the pattern of muscularity of the arteries changes. A quantitative study is here reported on 4 cases of scoliosis. The limitation and distortion of space available affect lung growth.
