Large volumes of aerosolized particles are inhaled during "vaping" and there are now an increasing number of case reports demonstrating toxic effects of ENDS, as well as human studies demonstrating impaired lung
Each lung is divided into lobes separated from one another by a tissuefissure. The right lung has three major lobes; the left lung, which is slightly smaller because of the asymmetrical placement of the heart, has two lobes. Internally, each lobe further subdivides into hundreds oflobules. Ea...
Respiratory System, Mediastinum, and Pleurae1 Disorders of the Lungs Species Differences Each lung is subdivided into various numbers of pulmonary lobes (see Fig. 9-16). In the past, these were defined by anatomic fissures. However, in current anatomy, lobes are defined by the ramification of ...
Mechanism studies have found that heavy metals exposure could increase oxidative stress and inflammatory reaction, which suggest that heavy metals might also cause damage to the respiratory system [9]. Lung function decline is a preclinical symptom of many respiratory diseases [10]. However, evidence...
(Fig.2fand Extended Data Fig.7a). These data support the hypothesis that differences in airway length, ventilation and perfusion across different lobes may lead to changes in tobacco carcinogen exposure and underpin the established differences in the rate of tumour initiation at different anatomical ...
Fig. 3: Pulmonary administration of the synthetic TLR7 agonist imiquimod induces emphysema-like alveolar enlargement and apoptosis and impairs lung function in mice. aWild-type (WT) BALB/c mice (female, 6–8 weeks old) were administered low-dose imiquimod (50 μg in 50 μl sterile salin...
For purposes of this policy, predominantly non-upper lobe predominance of emphysema is defined to exclude disease on CT that is judged by the radiologist as affecting primarily the upper lobes of the lung, and to include disease that is judged to be predominantly lower lobe, diffuse, or predomi...

Embodiments are directed to an endotracheal intubation system that provides for differential ventilation of lungs and lung lobes. Certain aspects are directed to an assembled device
