THE DISTRIBUTION OF REGIONAL ventilation is heterogeneous in normal lung and increases dramatically under pathological conditions. This has been demonstrated both in humans and in animal models using a number of different imaging techniques. General anesthesia and mechanical ventilation can significantly alter the distribution of specific ventilation (sV̇), both through changes in the diaphragma...

Primary immunodeficiencies are inherited disorders of the immune system, with an estimated prevalence of 1:500 in the USA. Yet, a majority of the patients are still undiagnosed. Most patients with a diagnosis come in contact with the healthcare due to complications caused by the immunological defects. In many cases, it is crucial that the patients receive treatment before their health is seriou...

Catalytic reactions often require several types of sites with distinct functions, and the relative abundance of these sites influences the rate and selectivity of desired reactions. Heteropolyacid clusters with Keggin structures, which contain acid and redox functions, 2] have recently emerged as interesting catalysts for organic reactions involving bifunctional pathways. We recently discovered...

BRONCHOCONSTRICTION IS A CARDINAL feature of asthma. It involves airway narrowing, increase in airway resistance, impairment of breathing, and can in very severe cases even lead to death. The severe narrowing of the airway lumen during bronchoconstriction is caused by a shortening of the airway smooth muscle in response to agonists or vagal stimulation. However, does a simple stimulus-response ...

Effects of different herbal extracts on the growth and immune defense of fish were researched in the last decade. The aim of this study was to determine the dietary effects of thyme (Thymus vulgaris), rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis) and fenugreek (Trigonella foenum graecum) as a feed additive on haematology, innate immune response, and disease resistance of tilapia (Oreochromis mossambicus). ...
