The pleural space plays an important role in respiratory function as the negative intrapleural
pressure regimen ensures lung expansion and in the mean time maintains the tight …

Hyaluronic acid, sodium hyaluronate, and potassium hyaluronate function in cosmetics as
skin conditioning agents at concentrations up to 2%. Hyaluronic acid, primarily obtained …

The ballooning body of research devoted to hyaluronan (HA) reflects its enormous potential
for various medical applications. There have been many successes of varying degrees in …

Hyaluronic acid (HA) has emerged as a versatile polymer for drug delivery. Multiple
commercial products utilize HA, it can be obtained in a variety of molecular weights, and it …

After an account on morphological features of visceral and parietal pleura, mechanical
coupling between lung and chest wall is outlined. Volume of pleural liquid is considered …

The highest concentrations of hyaluronan occur in synovial fluid, vitreous body, skin and
certain specialized tissues such as umbilical cord and rooster comb, during fetal …

Aseptic peritonitis was induced in rabbits by intraperitoneal injection of irritating agents,
mainly starch suspensions. The inflammatory response was followed in the peritoneal …

Both theoretical and experimental studies of pleural fluid dynamics and lung buoyancy
during steady-state, apneic conditions are presented. The theory shows that steady-state …

Various authors have proposed the use of hyaluronic acid (HA) as a tumor marker. In order
