The baby lung was originally defined as the fraction of lung parenchyma that, in acute
respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), still maintains normal inflation. Its size obviously …

Pulmonary atelectasis is common in the perioperative period. Physiologically, it is produced
when collapsing forces derived from positive pleural pressure and surface tension overcome …

In patients with the acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), lung imaging is a
fundamental tool in the study of the morphological and mechanistic features of the lungs …

Acute lung injury (ALI) is one of the leading causes of death in sepsis. Endothelial
inflammation and dysfunction play a prominent role in development of ALI. Glycolysis is the …

Rationale: During acute lung injury (ALI), mechanical ventilation can aggravate inflammation
by promoting alveolar distension and cyclic recruitment–derecruitment. As an estimate of the …

Purpose Imaging has become increasingly important across medical specialties for
diagnostic, monitoring, and investigative purposes in acute respiratory distress syndrome …

Every year, more information accumulates about the possibility of treating patients with acute
lung injury or acute respiratory distress syndrome with specially designed mechanical …

Objective: Volutrauma and atelectrauma promote ventilator-induced lung injury, but their
relative contribution to inflammation in ventilator-induced lung injury is not well established …

Knowledge of the perioperative risk factors of major complications and understanding of the
mechanisms of postthoracotomy ALI enable anesthesiologists to implement 'protective'lung …

Objective: Neutrophilic inflammation plays a key role in the pathogenesis of acute
respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and acute lung injury (ALI). Positron emission …
