disproportion between the work done by the left heart and that done by the right." If the amount of blood drawn from the lungs through the pulmonary veins is less than that delivered to them through the pulmonary artery, then the condition of affairs in the pulmonary circulation is such as will cause this dangerous emergency. Welch's experimental work 011 rabbits showed that after compression of the pulmonary veins or massage of the left ventricle so as to produce fibrillation, acute pulmonary oedema sometimes ensued. He was unable to induce the condition by simple compression of the aorta, and therefore argued that, unless there was some pathological change in the left ventricle such as might be brought about by massage

The aim of this study was to characterize the effects of short-term exposure to Vinyl Acetate Monomer (VAM) vapour on the liver and lungs of Wistar rats. Methods: Mice weighing ...
متن کاملThe Role of Anion Exchanger on Pulmonary Vascular Response to Sustained Alveolar Hypoxia in the Isolated Perfused Rabbit Lung
Background: Some respiratory diseases may induce alveolar hypoxia thereby hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction (HPV). However, the mechanisms of this physiologic phenomenon are not fully understood. This study was the first to investigate the role of anion exchanger in sustained HPV.Methods: Experiments were performed in the isolated perfused rabbit lung. After preparation, the lungs were divided...
