introduction: the respiratory system is both a route of entry and exit for toxins and injurious agents, as well as being a target for chemical substances and pathogens. therefore, an understanding of the structure and function of the migratory cell populations of pulmonary tissues including alveolar macrophages is central in a number of important disease processes. this study aimed to identify ...

the excess accumulation of water in lung interstitial or alveolar is called pulmonary edema which is caused by factors that upset the normal starling balance in micro-circulation. pulmonary edema disturbs the alveolar gas exchanges which are normally regulated by the respiratory system. mathematical modelling of pulmonary edema may help to predict the lung conditions and the mechanisms involved...

Children interstitial lung (ChILD) disease is a large group of disorders with damage in alveolus and capillary. Although these disorders resemble ILD of adult in nomination, ChILD represents different pathologic and clinical patterns. A 2.5 months old girl, with failure to thrive and grunting and dyspnea, complained of staccato coughs without association with feeding, since she was 15 days o...

Background: Lung cancer is considered as one of the most frequent cancers worldwide, and has been the cause of more than one <span style="font-variant...

primary lymphomas of the lung are rare and usual radiographic findings are adenopathy, effusion, multiple lesions, solitary lesion or diffuse lesion. this paper presents a case of primary malignant tumor of the lung with a very rare radiological presentation. a 20-year-old male patient was admitted to our hospital due to fever, chills, productive cough and later development of hemoptysis. weigh...

Objective(s): Considering the fact that the standardized uptake value (SUV) of a normal lung tissue is expressed as x±SD, x+3×SD could be considered as the threshold value to outline the internal tumor volume (ITV) of a lung neoplasm. Methods: Three hollow models were filled with 55.0 kBq/mL fluorine18- fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG) to represent tumors. The models were fixed to a barrel filled w...
