Experimentally induced acute pulmonary edema causes changes in the pressure-(gas) volume characteristics of both lungs and chest wall. These consist a decreased functional residual capacity an increased recoil pressure for wall at any given gas volume. However, with accumulation liquid lungs, becomes relatively smaller component intrathoracic lung We used rib cage magnetometer signals as index plus volume, compared measured by helium dilution, relation to transpulmonary transthoracic...
In a series of laboratory rats, pathologic and physiologic changes the lungs were studied for 2 wk after intratracheal instillation kerosene. The ratio lung weight to body increased, indicating pulmonary congestion. Pathologically, types seen: generalized hyperemia focal bronchopneumonia. Physiologically there was an upward shift left static pressure-volume curve, with increases in total capacity 35 40%. This true whether air or saline used as inflating medium. All described maximal by 24 h...
Kerosene was instilled intratracheally into mongrel dogs of either sex weighing 10 to 15 kg and anesthetized intravenously with sodium pentobarbital (25 mg/kg). Two different doses were used: 0.3 0.06 ml/kg. Pulmonary mechanics, including pressure-volume (P-V) curve, thoracic gas volume (Vtg), total lung capacity (TLC), pulmonary resistance (RL), chord compliance (CL) measured by using a whole body plethysmograph, before at various time intervals during the 2 wk after instillation....
A patient with the classic features of primary pulmonary hypertension developed a severe restrictive ventilatory defect that worsened during clinical course. Histologic examination lung showed vascular changes consistent and no evidence parenchymal fibrosis. We suggest progressive caused in this patient.
Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) is used to treat congestive heart failure (CHF). Mechanisms for improved cardiac output (CO) include increased left ventricular (LV) surface pressure, changes in sympathoadrenal tone, nonadrenergic vasodilation, or shifting blood volume from intra- extrathoracic compartments. At CPAP = 0 and 5 cm H20 we measured CO, LV plasma norepinephrine (PNE), systemic vascular resistance (SVR) normal hypervolemic pigs with CHF (rapid pacing). In normovolemia...
Rutgers Cancer Institute of New Jersey (New Brunswick, NJ) is committed to providing cancer prevention education, outreach, and clinical services in our catchment area (CA). Our approach includes ongoing surveillance better understand the CA burden opportunities for intervention, leveraging community partnerships, vigorously engaging diverse communities address their needs. This considers individual, sociocultural, environmental, biologic, system, policy-level factors with an equity lens....
The incidence rates of tuberculosis (TB) in Israel decreased steadily up to 1984, but rose again between 1985 and 1991, mainly due immigration waves from Ethiopia. epidemiology TB children was surveyed the Ashkelon region. regional register Barzilai Medical Centre, kept since 1958, used as source for our data. Two hundred fifty cases were reported 1958 1994, constituting 9.7% total 2565 whole population Israel's southern Mediterranean coast. While late 1950s early 1960s majority occurred...
Although pulmonary interstitial edema has been estimated to decrease compliance (CL), it experimentally difficult demonstrate whether the observed changes in CL are directly due presence of fluid or if they result instead from concomitant vascular engorgement and/or alveolar edema. Since kerosene-inflated lungs do not leak, we were able use kerosene measure effect on accumulation (kerosene) postmortem rat lung. Pressure-volume (PV) studies lung done during progressive increase (kerosene)....
P-704 Introduction: In Israel, research of the health effects air pollution, while still limited, is rapidly developing. The objectives this study are: a) quantification pollution exposure through geo-mapping, b) correlation with hospital and community-based outcomes, c) cost-benefit evaluation treatment versus abatement. Methods: Air quality data collected from 18 regional monitoring stations January 2000 May 2004 are being used to construct mathematical interpolation maps SO2, NOx, PM2.5...
