Background: The acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is characterized by protein-rich oedema in the alveolar spaces, a feature in which Fas-mediated apoptosis of the alveolar epithelium has been ...

Alveolar-capillary membrane permeability. Alveolar-capillary membrane permeability was assessed by BAL total protein. In unstimulated BAL from the Colorado cohort, there was no significant difference ...

If diffusion impairments persisted beyond 18-24 months, a combined Lung Diffusing Capacity for Nitric Oxide (DLNO) and DLCO assessment was performed to differentiate between alveolar membrane ...

Abstract: Efficient gas exchange in the lungs involves a careful balance between ventilation and diffusion across the alveolar capillary membrane. The human airway system design has a significant ...

HPX-MRI enables the assessment of gas exchange at the alveolar-capillary membrane, providing an additional measure of functional deficit in COPD. Calculating the ratio of xenon-129 in the gas phase (i ...

Post COVID-19 syndrome is characterized by several cardiorespiratory symptoms but the origin of patients’ reported symptomatology is still unclear. Consecutive post COVID-19 patients were included.

Severe COVID-19 causes early lung capillary thrombosis, leading to respiratory distress, with studies emphasizing prompt anti-coagulation treatment to mitigate complications. Scientists from the ...

Prevalent disorders included diffuse developmental lung disorders, with alveolar capillary dysplasia noted in 49% of cases, and surfactant disorders in 16%. Complications occurred in 29% of cases, ...
