In some cases, however, the illness may become very severe, and it is sometimes fatal, particularly in elderly people and young children. Death from streptococcal pneumonia is caused by inflammation and significant and extensive bleeding in the lungs that results in the eventual cessation of ...
Qing-Bao Tian1,Yoshinobu Hara3, Hiroyuki Sakagami3, Shogo Endo4 & Tatsuo Suzuki1,2 Amniotic fluid volume during mid-to-late gestation depends mainly on the urine excretion from the foetal kidneys and partly on the fluid secretion from the foetal lungs during foetal breathing-like ...

Fluid homeostasis is maintained via the Starling’s equilibrium via hydrostatic and colloid oncotic pressures. The hydrostatic pressure in the capillary system minus the hydrostatic pressure in the interstitium pulls the fluid out of the capillaries. In the classic Starling model, this net pressure is ...
In the pleural fluid, both cytokine and chemokine concentrations increased by day one. The increase was significantly higher in the pleural fluid compared to the blood. Conclusion The inflammatory response of cytokines affects both the collapsed, operated and the ventilated, non-operated lungs. The ...
These novel approaches include ECMO, extracorporeal membrane oxygenation, which is often referred to as life support, and can take on the work of the heart and lungs for a while until the organs begin working again. [6] Other options may include an exchange transfusion, in which blood or ...

After in vivo staining of leukocytes with rhodamine 6G (0.15 mg.kg−1 intravenously [IV]; 0.4 ml; Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA), leukocyte-endothelial interactions were assessed by intravital fluorescence microscopy. According to their interaction with the microvascular endothelium, leukocytes...
The authors reported that after thoracentesis, “ipsilateral and contralateral lungs re-aerated immediately and without further re-aeration over the next hour”(Alves SH et al: Ann Am Thorac Soc 11:186–191, 2014). Morgensztern et al, from Yale University, used Surveillance, Epidemiology, and ...
After reversal of neuromuscular block and tracheal extubation, the patient was awake, obeyed verbal commands, and had adequate muscle strength. However, within two minutes of, extubation, airway obstruction occurred, and attempts to ventilate the lungs failed. The patient became restless and oxygen ...
