Surfactant function in neonates with respiratory distress syndrome [PDF]
The function of pulmonary surfactant of a group of 14 preterm neonates (birth weight 907 +/- 60 g) who suffered from severe respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) and who had received exogenous bovine lipid extracted surfactant on the first day of life was ...

Changes in the Activity of the Pulmonary Surfactant after Contact with Bentonite Nanoclay Particles
Nanoclays are used as fillers in the production of polymer nanocomposites. They contribute to improving the physical, heat and resistance properties of nanocomposites.

Xylem surfactants introduce a new element to the cohesion-tension theory [PDF]
Vascular plants transport water under negative pressure without constantly creating gas bubbles that would disable their hydraulic systems. Attempts to replicate this feat in artificial systems almost invariably result in bubble formation, except under ...

Gene Therapy Potential for Genetic Disorders of Surfactant Dysfunction
Pulmonary surfactant is critically important to prevent atelectasis by lowering the surface tension of the alveolar lining liquid. While respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) is common in premature infants, severe RDS in term and late preterm infants ...
