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 …

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

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

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

The literature has been reviewed to evaluate the technique and clinical value of
radionuclide measurements of microvascular permeability and oedema formation in the …

The pathophysiological mechanism of pulmonary oedema following rapid re-expansion of a
collapsed lung is poorly understood. It has been suggested that the period of collapse or …

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 …

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 adult respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) usually refers to the acute onset of
hypoxaemia, bilateral diffuse chest radiographic shadowing and decreased lung …
