Tracheal models which simulate the compliance of the adult male trachea.

چکیده
Earlier models of the human trachea have not taken the characteristic compliance of the trachea into account. Two tracheal models are presented, which simulate the compliance of the adult male human trachea, intended for more valid laboratory testing of the function of the cuffs of tracheal tubes. The two models simulate the conditions with and without controlled ventilation.

Several reports have shown the various effects of grape (Vitis vinifera) seed extract such as antioxidant, hypotensive, hypolipidemic and vasodilatory effects. The aim of present study was to investigate the effect of grape leaf hydroalcoholic extract on isolated rat tracheal contractions induced by KCl and acetylcholine. The trachea was removed from male adult Sprague-Dawley rat and placed in ...
متن کاملSpatial orientation and mechanical properties of the human trachea: a computed tomography study.
BACKGROUND The literature generally describes the trachea as oriented toward the right and back, but there is very little detailed characterization. Therefore, the aim of this study was to precisely determine the spatial orientation and to better characterize the physical properties of the human trachea. METHODS We analyzed lung computed tomography scans of 68 intubated and mechanically venti...

Thiazolidinediones are commonly used anti-diabetic drugs. Owing to the anti-inflammatory action of TZDs as a result of there action on the PPAR gamma receptor and a proposed action on the prostaglandins, these drugs can be tried in the acute exacerbations of COPD that are also commonly found among diabetic patients. An experimental study of one week was carried out at animal house of Army Medic...
