Modern ventilatory strategies are based on the assumption that lung terminal airspaces act
as isotropic balloons that progressively accommodate gas. Phase contrast synchrotron …

In many species, pneumonectomy results in compensatory growth in the remaining lung.
Although the late mechanical consequences of murine pneumonectomy are known, little is …

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 …

Rats receiving one fifth of their usual daily food consumption for 10 days showed a
significant increase in static recoil pressure of the lung (Pst [L]) due to surface forces at low …

We previously found that, following surgical resection of∼ 58% of lung units by right
pneumonectomy (PNX) in adult canines, oxygen-diffusing capacity (DlO2) fell sufficiently to …

Immature foxhounds underwent 55% lung resection by right pneumonectomy (n= 5) or
thoracotomy without pneumonectomy (Sham, n= 6) at 2 mo of age. Cardiopulmonary …

Respiratory pathologies alter the structure of the lung and impact its mechanics. Mice are
widely used in the study of lung pathologies, but there is a lack of fundamental mechanical …

Recent data from our laboratory are presented concerning alveolar septal adaptation
following 42–45% lung resection by left pneumonectomy (PNX) in adult foxhounds …

This review evaluates the progress that has been made in describing the lung as a
deformable solid and in using the methods of solid mechanics to answer questions about …

Rationale: regional and global features of asthmatic lungs from those of healthy lungs during
breathing. The objective of this study is two-fold. First is to estimate regional ventilation and …
