Aging and the respiratory system
Aging Clinical and Experimental Research, 1996All the components of the respiratory system are affected by aging, though at different rates: i) the lung elastic recoil decreases; ii) PaO2 decreases and the D(A-a)O2 increases; iii) the chest wall becomes stiffer; iv) the inspiratory muscles loose strength; and v) the respiratory centres are less sensitive.

Endothelin and the respiratory system
Trends in Pharmacological Sciences, 1993Pharmacological research involving the endothelin peptides has emphasized their activities in vascular systems, from both physiological and pathophysiological perspectives. However, the endothelins are known also to be synthesized and released from respiratory epithelial cells and to have potent effects in nonvascular components of the respiratory ...

Clinics in Geriatric Medicine, 1985
In this review article, the effects of old age on lung structure and function are discussed. Changes in lung morphology and biochemistry are correlated with changes in lung mechanics and gas exchange, as well as with the respiratory system's adaptability to the stresses of exercise and sleep.

Aquaporins in Respiratory System
2023Aquaporins (AQPs) are water channel proteins facilitating fluid transport in alveolar space, airway humidification, pleural fluid absorption, and submucosal gland secretion. In this chapter, we mainly focus on the expression of four AQPs in the lungs, which include AQP1, AQP2, AQP4, and AQP5 in normal and disease status, and the experience of AQPs ...

Assessment of the Respiratory System
Home Healthcare Now, 2015This article on respiratory system assessment is the first of a four-part series. Future articles will include instructions on focused examinations of the cardiac, gastrointestinal, and neurological systems. A systematic method of collecting both subjective and objective data will guide the healthcare clinician to make accurate clinical judgments and ...

Scoliosis and the respiratory system
Paediatric Respiratory Reviews, 2006Scoliosis is caused by the lateral displacement and rotation of the vertebral bodies. It is most common during periods of rapid somatic growth. Scoliosis impedes on the movement of the ribs, places the respiratory muscles at a mechanical disadvantage and displaces the various organs of the thoracic cavity.

Pediatric Clinics of North America, 2016
Respiratory system involvement in cystic fibrosis is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality. Defects in the cystic fibrosis transmembrane regulator (CFTR) gene throughout the sinopulmonary tract result in recurrent infections with a variety of organisms including Pseudomonas aeruginosa, methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, and ...

Aging and the Respiratory System
Radiologic Clinics of North America, 2008In the elderly, the chest without evident pathology is characterized by findings that occupy a sort of "no man's land" between the normal and the pathologic. Aging results in physiologic modifications that must be recognized so as not to be interpreted erroneously as pathologies.

Helminths and the Respiratory System
Archivos de Bronconeumología ((English Edition)), 20061998. We will begin with a brief overview of the main genera and species involved, followed by a description of the point in the life cycle of each parasite when contact with the respiratory apparatus takes place. The second part of the article is a review of the principal epidemiological characteristics, with particular emphasis on the geographical ...
