objective(s):ischemia is described as organs and tissues are destitute of oxygen due to decreased arterial or venous blood flow. many mechanisms play role in cell death happened as a consequence of a new blood flow is needed for both cell regeneration and to clean toxic metabolites during ischemia and later. lung damage induced by ischemia/reperfusion (i/r) is a frequent problem in lung transpl...

introduction bronchial adenoma is rare in primary tumors of the lung and produce non-specific respiratory symptoms. case presentation a 4-year-old boy referred to our clinic with chronic cough and wheezing. foreign body aspiration was recommended for him on the base of radiologic and clinical manifestation. in bronchoscopy, foreign body was not detected, but an obstructing tumor was found at le...

background: lung cancer ranks among the most common and most lethal malignancies worldwide. once vascular or lymphatic invasions occur, metastatic dissemination to distant sites is common. bone, liver, adrenals, and brain are the most frequent sites of the distant disease. in this study we present a case of squamous cell carcinoma of lung with metastasis of the left knee bursa.case presentation...

pulmonary agenesis is a very rare condition and many of them are associated with a variety of cardiac and non-cardiac malformations. we report an eight-month old girl with chronic lung infection due to right sided pulmonary agenesis without any associated major cardiac or non-cardiac abnormalities. the case brings in forth the importance of investigating any infant presenting with features of c...

The sequestration of rat leukocytes and bone marrow cells by the lung vasculature was studied using an isolated perfused rat lung preparation. The passage of latex particles of 7.6 µm in diameter and non-hematopoietic cells through the lung blood vessels was also studied. Leukocytes and bone marrow cells were reversibly sequestered from circulation, whereas, latex particles and non-hematop...

Background: A new treatment approach for most patients who have undergone early stage non-small-cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC), is wedge resection plus permanent implant brachytherapy. However, the specification of dose to medium at low energies especially in heterogeneous lung is unclear yet.Objective: The present study aims to modify source strength for different configurations of 125I and 103...
