SPATIAL DISTRIBUTION OF SEQUENTIAL VENTILATION DURING MECHANICAL VENTILATION OF THE UNINJURED LUNG: AN ARGUMENT FOR CYCLICAL AIRWAY COLLAPSE AND EXPANSION

Abstract Background Ventilator-induced lung injury (VILI) is a recognized complication of mechanical ventilation.Although the specific mechanism by which mechanical ventilation causes lung injury remains an active area of study, the application of positive end expiratory pressure (PEEP) reduces its severity.We have previously reported that VILI is

Human activities and the consequent extinctions of native species and invasions of non-native species have been changing the composition of species assemblages worldwide.These anthropogenic impacts alter not only the richness of assemblages but also the biological dissimilarity among them.However, much of the research effort to date has focused on

This paper investigates the effect of the plasma background, including neutrals in a self-consistent way, on filaments in the scrape-off layer (SOL) of fusion devices.A strong dependency of filament motion on background density and Ball - Accessories temperature is observed.The radial filament motion shows an increase in velocity with decreasing ba

The unjust distribution of poor health outcomes produced via current United States food Wardrobes systems indicates the need for inclusive and innovative policymaking at the local level.Public health and environmental organizers are seeking to improve food environments from the ground up with locally driven policy initiatives but since 2010 have in

Abstract Background Not all breast cancer (BC) patients who receive neoadjuvant chemotherapy achieve a pathologic complete response (pCR), but the reasons for this are unknown.Previous studies have shown that exosomes produced in the tumor microenvironment in response to chemotherapy promote a chemotherapy-resistant phenotype in tumors.However, the
