Possible Causes of a Lung Mass What Are Multiple Lung Nodules? Having multiple lung nodules simply means you have more than one nodule in your lungs. Although multiple lung nodules can be cancerous, they are more likely to be benign than malignant. Non-cancerous lung nodules can form af...

Lung volumes for all mammals scale with a common function based onbody mass. In spontaneously breathing mammals, tidal volumes are approximately 6 to 7 mL/kg of body weight (Figure 36-3), yet historically, tidal volumes of 12 to 15 mL/kg were used in mechanically ventilated patients withacu...
We extracted the following information from original trials and their supplements, including trial characteristics (the first author name, publication year, country, and number of patients), population (age, body mass index, American Society of Anesthesiologist physical status, and type of surgical ...

proliferation, and angiogenesis by modifying the matrix environment33,34,35. MMP-2 null mice have been reported to be anatomically smaller than wild-type mice with less total vascular development, abnormal lung alveolarization and interestingly, decreased rates of tumor angiogenesis36. Mass spectrometry...
Although the specific compliance of the baby lung is nearly normal, regional quantitative analysis of CT scans showed that excess tissue mass, at least in severe ARDS, is present both in non-dependent and in dependent regions, suggesting that dependent densities primarily represent atelectasis due to...
Information on pulmonary symptoms such as cough with or without phlegm (for 3 months) and chest pain were also included in the analyses as markers of respiratory diseases. Confounders obtained during medical examination were weight, height, body-mass index (BMI), blood pressure and cholesterol leve...
The development of a miR detection method is difficult because they are short in length, are present in body fluids in trace amounts (0.01% of total RNA mass), and have different secondary structures and nucleotide composition. In addition, many miRs are very close to each other, with ...
