Mechanical stresses on the lung impose the major stimuli for developmental and
compensatory lung growth and remodeling. We used computed tomography (CT) to …

Following right pneumonectomy (PNX), the remaining lung expands and its perfusion more
than doubles. Tissue and microvascular mechanical stresses are putative stimuli for …

In adult canines following major lung resection, the remaining lobes expand asymmetrically,
associated with alveolar tissue regrowth, remodeling, and progressive functional …

In many mammalian species, the removal of one lung [pneumonectomy (PNX)] is associated
with the compensatory growth of the remaining lung. To investigate the hypothesis that …

To quantify the in vivo magnitude and distribution of regional compensatory lung growth
following extensive lung resection, we performed high-resolution computed tomography at …

The Dynamic Spatial Reconstructor (DSR) was used to study in vivo lung geometry and
function. By replacing the lungs of three dogs with potato flakes and ping-pong balls of …

The present study describes the magnitude and spatial distribution of lung strain in healthy
anesthetized, mechanically ventilated dogs with and without positive end-expiratory …

Following pneumonectomy (PNX), two separate mechanical forces act on the remaining
lung: parenchymal stress caused by lung expansion, and microvascular distension and …

In many mammalian species, the removal of one lung (pneumonectomy) is associated with
the compensatory growth of the remaining lung. To investigate the hypothesis that …

Mechanical forces imposed on lung tissue constitute major stimuli for normal lung
development and postpneumonectomy (PNX) compensatory growth and remodeling …
