Pulmonary alveoli have been studied for many years, yet no unifying hypothesis exists for
their dynamic mechanics during respiration due to their miniature size (100-300 μm dimater …

This book is very timely and fills the wide gap between respiratory cell biology and clinical
medicine. Since the 1990s there have been eye-catching advancements in the molecular as …

The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between the three-equation
diffusing capacity for carbon monoxide (DLcoSB-3EQ) and lung volume and to determine …

Recent advances in computed tomographic imaging provide a unique method to serially
and directly visualize acute physiological response in the lung. To directly investigate the …

Real-time imaging of the intact lung allows for the visualization and analysis of pulmonary
vascular responses at a unique spatial and temporal resolution. For visual access to the …

The need to understand how infection spreads to the deep lung was acutely realized during
the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) pandemic. The …

We measured regional ventilation at 1l above functional residual capacity (FRC+ 1L) and
total lung capacity (TLC) in three normal subjects and four elite breath-hold divers, and …

Live lung imaging has spanned the discovery of capillaries in the frog lung by Malpighi to
the current use of single and multiphoton imaging of intravital and isolated perfused lung …

We examined the effect of a previous deep breath on both inert gas mixing and the single
breath diffusing capacity (DL CO SB) during submaximal single breath maneuvers in normal …

Xe-enhanced computed tomography (CT; Xe-CT) is a method for the noninvasive
measurement of regional pulmonary ventilation in intact subjects, determined from the …
