abstract horseshoe lung is a congenital pulmonary malformation that is usually associated with scimitar syndrome. this malformation consists of fusion of both pulmonary lobes from the posterobasal segments. the fusion appears in the retrocardiac area, in front of the esophagus and thoracic aorta. pleural separation of pulmonary lobes distinguishes pseudohorseshoe appearance from a true horsesho...

Vaskov, L. S. (1973). British Journal of Industrial Medicine, 30, 3741. Use of radioisotopes in the study of textile workers with byssinosis and chronic lung damage. A radioisotope method of measuring separately the circulation times for the pulmonary artery and pulmonary veins is described. Combined with pulmonary scintigraphy this method has been used to invesigate textile workers with lung c...

Pulmonary circulation is a high flow, low resistance circuit capable of accommodating the entire right ventricular output at one-fifth the pressure of the systemic circulation. This is due to the higher compliance of the pulmonary circulation compared to the systemic circulation. Normal pulmonary arterial pressure (PAP) is 18-30/4-14 mmHg, and normal mean pulmonary arterial pressure (mPAP) is 1...

The heart drives two separate and distinct circulatory systems in the body: the pulmonary circulation and the systemic circulation. The pulmonary circulation is analogous to the entire systemic circulation. Similar to the systemic circulation, the pulmonary circulation receives all of the cardiac output. Therefore, the pulmonary circulation is not a regional circulation like the renal, hepatic,...

1 Pulmonary Circulation Pulmonary Circulation: A new venue for communicating your fi ndings, ideas and perspectives Welcome Pulmonary circulation is the flow of blood from the right ventricle through the pulmonary artery to the lungs, where carbon dioxide (CO 2) is exchanged for oxygen (O 2), and back through the pulmonary vein to the left atrium. The pulmonary vasculature includes the arteries...

The excess accumulation of water in lung interstitial or alveolar is called pulmonary edema which is caused by factors that upset the normal Starling balance in micro-circulation. Pulmonary edema disturbs the alveolar gas exchanges which are normally regulated by the respiratory system. Mathematical modelling of pulmonary edema may help to predict the lung conditions and the mechanisms involved...
