Increased lung vascular permeability leading to increased plasma protein extravasation and
accumulation (PPA) is a characteristic feature of acute lung injury. Using a previously …

Increased microvascular permeability resulting in increased plasma protein extravasation is
the hallmark of acute inflammatory oedema and hence radiolabelled proteins can be used to …

A simple, noninvasive technique for monitoring pulmonary vascular permeability in patients
in critical care units is discussed. High vascular permeability is observed in patients with …

Plasma protein accumulation (PPA) was monitored in the lungs of patients with the adult
respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Transferrin radiolabelled in vivo with indium-113m …

Thirteen patients with renal failure and pulmonary oedema were assessed for evidence of
increased pulmonary vascular permeability to protein by a double isotope technique …

Anesthetized pigs (n= 12) were given oleic acid (OA) to induce acute lung injury. Three
additional pigs were used as uninjured controls. Six of the animals were pretreated with …

We quantified pulmonary vascular permeability with positron emission tomography (PET)
and gallium-68-(^ Ga) labeled transferrin. Six dogs with oleic acid-induced lung injury …

Objective: To assess the value of serum protein levels for differentiating permeability
pulmonary edema in the course of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) from …

Measurements of pulmonary clearance of inhaled 99mTc-DTPA and transvascular 113mIn-
transferrin flux were made in 12 patients with established ARDS and 14 volunteer control …

The natural history of change in pulmonary vascular permeability (PVP) during the adult
respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is unknown. Therefore, we evaluated PVP by …
