Background: To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of the support given to women by a companion of their choice during labor and delivery. Methods: A total of 212 primiparous women were enrolled in a randomized controlled clinical trial carried out between February 2004 and March 2005. One hundred and five women were allocated to the group in which support was permitted and 107 to the group i...

Using the parenchymal marker technique, we measured pressure (P)-volume (P-V) curves of regions with volumes of approximately 1 cm3 in the dependent caudal lobes of oleic acid-injured dog lungs, during a very slow inflation from P = 0 to P = 30 cmH2O. The regional P-V curves are strongly sigmoidal. Regional volume, as a fraction of volume at total lung capacity, remains constant at 0.4-0.5 for ...

Satellite imaging provides us with a unique way to study and appreciate the Earth. I use imagery to visually attract the viewer, and hopefully, stimulate some curiosity about the Earth and the imagery itself. As a professional geographer I have been working with satellite imagery for well over two decades. I have been using it to understand how the Earth’s environment has been changing, with an...

This article contains the information about structure, functioning, and regeneration of type 2 pneumocytes. The composition surfactant, processes its synthesis, formation, secretion, distribution redistribution components, as well biological role surfactant in functioning lungs are described detail. development system during embryogenesis is also included. Objectives. To review modern literatur...

inflammatory responses and innate immunologic reactions play an important role in the respiratory system. ex vivo lung perfusion (evlp) is considered a novel method in the evaluation and reconditioning of donor lungs prior to transplantation. however, evlp’s effect on inflammatory and metabolic markers of human lung tissue is unknown. this study investigated how the performance of evlp on brain...
