such as pulmonary edema (fluid build-up in the lungs). In addition to rendering lungs unusable fortransplant, pulmonary edema also signals that the lungs are not functioning properly post-transplant and is a major cause of illness and death among lung transplant recipients. Lungs that...
Since the regular activities does not help in using the lungs to full capacity, you need to opt for intense lung activities to challenge your organ. This helps in overcoming the build-up of tar and toxin in the lungs caused by allergens, cigarette smoke, pollutants, etc. to clean out the...
In my heart, I know my body has been purposefully and wonderfully made, but sometimes I need a reminder. Bringing my babies into the world in this way–fiercely and uninhibited– is that reminder for me. It washes away the doubt that I am not a capable mother. It washes away the fleck...
Researchers found that among nearly 2,200 adults with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), those who ate fish, grapefruit, bananas and cheese tended to have better lung function and fewer symptoms than their counterparts who did not eat those foods. Which exercise is best for lungs? Ae...
Stress Affects the Entire Body Stress is something that everyone experiences, but not everyone experiences the same kind of stress or reacts to it the same way.
A person who does not participate in strenuous physical exercise and doesn’t know the structure of the lungs uses just approximately one-twentieth of the lung’s total potential gaseous-exchange surface. The pressure inside the lungs is the same as the pressure outside. Due to a partial vacuu...
However, respiration does not merely depend on the lungs functioning; the kidneys also coordinate it. In order to keep the qi exchange effective, the inhaled and refined qi must flow down and be absorbed by the kidneys properly. The astringent or grasping and holding function of the kidneys ...
The finding confirms that the truly important cells for lung fibrosis are alveolar type II pneumocytes. "We show that depletion of TRF1 in fibroblasts, Club and basalcellsdoes not lead to interstitial lung fibrosis, underscoring alveolar type II pneumocytes as the relevant cell type for the origin...
