At low lung volumes, alveolar collapse leads to hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction of extra-alveolar vessels. Thus, it is imperative to use adequate end-expiratory pressure to optimize the ...

It is concluded that the obligatory hypoventilation necessary to restore depleted body CO 2 stores may result in hypoxia in the first hour after operation. The importance of this subtle and short ...

The thickness of the alveolar septum and alveolar area were measured in randomly ... Finally, F-actin staining revealed that hypoxia caused F-actin remodeling, resulting in stress fiber formation. YPF ...

The lung alveolar region experiences remodeling during several acute and chronic lung diseases, as for instance idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), a fatal disease, whose onset is correlated with ...
