چکیده
mer. They inflated the resected lungs used in their study with 10% buffered formalin at a transpulmonary pressure of 25 cm H2O for a minimum of 24 hours. What technique did they use and how well were the lungs inflated? Satisfactory inflation via the bronchus of surgically resected lobes has been found unsatisfactory in two Vancouver hospitals. In one, expansion had to be achieved by inflation with fixative through the pleura using a large bore needle.' In another,2 using

Airspace size in lungs of lifelong non-smokers: effect of age and sex.
BACKGROUND Emphysema is defined as the abnormal enlargement of airspaces distal to the terminal bronchiole, but the limits of normality of airspace size have never been defined. The aims of the study were to examine the effects of age and sex on airspace size in non-smokers and to define the limits of normal airspace size. METHODS Airspace size was measured in terms of airspace wall surface a...
متن کاملSemaphorin 3A Contributes to Distal Pulmonary Epithelial Cell Differentiation and Lung Morphogenesis
RATIONALE Semaphorin 3A (Sema3A) is a neural guidance cue that also mediates cell migration, proliferation and apoptosis, and inhibits branching morphogenesis. Because we have shown that genetic deletion of neuropilin-1, which encodes an obligatory Sema3A co-receptor, influences airspace remodeling in the smoke-exposed adult lung, we sought to determine whether genetic deletion of Sema3A altere...
متن کاملVariability in the size of airspaces in normal human lungs as estimated by aerosols.
Measurement of persistence, expressed as half-life (t1/2), of a monodisperse aerosol during breath holding was interpreted as an indirect estimate of the size of intrapulmonary airspaces in healthy subjects. Within subject variation of t1/2 measured over a period of nearly two years was small (coefficient of variation 7-7 to 11-5%). Mean effective airspace diameters were calculated from the aer...
متن کاملComputed Tomographic measurement of distal femor rotation in Iranian population
Background: Proper rotation of components in total knee arthroplasty (TKA) will largely affect the postoperative outcome. Ethnical variation may affect rotational profile. We aimed to evaluate distal femur rotation in Iranian population using transepicondylar axes. Methods : From a total of 450 knee CT scans and via consecutive sampling, 150 qualified subjects with normal lower extremities ...
متن کاملDo nanoparticles provide a new opportunity for diagnosis of distal airspace disease?
There is a need for efficient techniques to assess abnormalities in the peripheral regions of the lungs, for example, for diagnosis of pulmonary emphysema. Considerable scientific efforts have been directed toward measuring lung morphology by studying recovery of inhaled micron-sized aerosol particles (0.4-1.5 µm). In contrast, it is suggested that the recovery of inhaled airborne nanoparticles...
