This is especially true if a person has hypoxia or difficulty breathing ... symptoms of pneumonia may worsen as red blood cells and other immune cells rush to the lungs and alveoli to fight the ...

At low lung volumes, alveolar collapse leads to hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction of extra-alveolar vessels. Thus, it is imperative to use adequate end-expiratory pressure to optimize the ...

It is concluded that the obligatory hypoventilation necessary to restore depleted body CO 2 stores may result in hypoxia in the first hour after operation. The importance of this subtle and short ...

These lead to tiny air sacs known as alveoli. Alveoli absorb oxygen from the air a person inhales and pass it into the bloodstream. They also remove carbon dioxide from the blood, which a person ...

Diseases that hurt the alveoli can affect more than just your respiratory health. Damaged alveoli deliver less oxygen to tissues (hypoxia), which can damage every major organ. Pneumonia is a lung ...

The thickness of the alveolar septum and alveolar area were measured in randomly ... Finally, F-actin staining revealed that hypoxia caused F-actin remodeling, resulting in stress fiber formation. YPF ...

While several cellular models are currently available for the upper airways, modelling the distal alveolar region poses several constraints that make the standardization of reliable alveolar in vitro ...
