Surgical Treatment for Congenital Lung Parenchyma and Non Lung Parenchyma Disorder: Center Experience

Examination of Lung Parenchyma by Electron Microscopy

In this paper many of the principal struc­ture of the Moral Lung were studied with the help of Electron Microscopy. Detailed descrip­tion was given of Granular Pneumocytes, Membranous Pneumocytes, Macrophages, and Alveolar Capillaries. A discussion followed on the form and function of Granular Pneumo­cytes.  Acknowledgements  I am grateful to the Reza Shah Pahlavi Foundation for its generou...

Influence of Lung Parenchyma Surgical Manipulation on Circulating Free DNA

Objectives: Metastatic recurrence is the most frequent cause of death after surgical resection of lung cancer. Manipulation during surgery has been advocated as one of the causes contributing to promotion of spreading. Methods: We investigated if the detection of plasma circulating free DNA (cfDNA) is influenced by surgical manipulation in 25 lung cancer patients (17 males and eight females) un...

Lung Parenchyma Sparing Resection for Pulmonary Malignancies

Mechanical properties of lung parenchyma during bronchoconstriction.

Interdependence between airways and the lung parenchyma is thought to be a major mechanism preventing excessive airway narrowing during bronchoconstriction. Because the elastance of the lung increases during bronchoconstriction, the lung's tethering force could also increase, further attenuating bronchoconstriction. We hypothesized that the bulk (kappa) and shear moduli (mu) of the lung increas...

[Physiotherapy in patients after lung parenchyma resection].

Lung parenchyma resection is the treatment of choice for early-stage lung cancer. The surgery involves the loss of respiratory surface and consequently leads to reduction in exercise capacity. Proper rehabilitation is essential for restoring the function and good performance of the respiratory system. Rehabilitation should be an integral part of surgical treatment. It should be implemented earl...
