Combined Pulmonary Fibrosis and Emphysema: Pulmonary Function Testing and a Pathophysiology Perspective

open access: yesMedicina, 2019
Combined pulmonary fibrosis and emphysema (CPFE) has been increasingly recognized over the past 10−15 years as a clinical entity characterized by rather severe imaging and gas exchange abnormalities, but often only mild impairment in spirometric ...

In silico modeling of oxygen-enhanced MRI of specific ventilation. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Specific ventilation imaging (SVI) proposes that using oxygen-enhanced 1H MRI to capture signal change as subjects alternatively breathe room air and 100% O2 provides an estimate of specific ventilation distribution in the lung.

FUNCTIONAL RESPONSE TO ENDOBRONCHIAL VALVE IMPLANTING TO THOSE SUFFERING FROM PULMONARY DESTRUCTIVE TUBERCULOSIS

open access: yesТуберкулез и болезни лёгких, 2016
Goal of the study: to investigate the changes in ventilation and gas exchange function of the lungs before and after 1-1.5 months after installation of endobronchial valve (EV) aimed at cavity healing in pulmonary destructive tuberculosis patients ...

Vascular Growth in the Fetal Lung [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
The structure of the lung is truly remarkable. It is primarily composed of three branched tubular networks (the airway, pulmonary artery and vein, bronchial artery and vein) which supply blood and air to the site of gas exchange and which maintain ...

Physiopathological rationale of using high-flow nasal therapy in the acute and chronic setting: A narrative review [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Chronic lung disease and admissions due to acute respiratory failure (ARF) are becoming increasingly common. Consequently, there is a growing focus on optimizing respiratory support, particularly non-invasive respiratory support, to manage these ...

Effects on the pulmonary hemodynamics and gas exchange with a speed modulated right ventricular assist rotary blood pump: a numerical study

open access: yesBioMedical Engineering OnLine, 2018
Rotary blood pumps (RBPs) are the newest generation of ventricular assist devices. Although their continuous flow characteristics have been accepted widely, more and more research has focused on the pulsatile modulation of RBPs in an attempt to provide ...

“Current concepts of mechanical ventilation in neonates” – Part 1: Basics

open access: yesInternational Journal of Pediatrics & Adolescent Medicine, 2020
Mechanical ventilation is potentially live saving in neonatal patients with respiratory failure. The main purpose of mechanical ventilation is to ensure adequate gas exchange, including delivery of adequate oxygenation and enough ventilation for ...
