Abstract

The aim of this study is to investigate the steady state gas transfer properties of the lungs. These properties can be derived from excretion-retention (E-R) data of inert tracer gases that are infused intravenously. E = PE/Pv and R = Pa/Pv, where PE, Pa and Pv represent the partial pressures of the tracer gases in mixed expired gas, arterial blood and mixed venous blood, respectively. In this paper, special attention is paid to the effects of tidal breathing on E-R data sets of tracer gases with different blood-gas partition coefficients. To that end, E-R data sets have been simulated with a lung model that takes into account tidal breathing, the morphometric geometry of the airways, diffusion limited gas mixing and gas dissolved in superficial lung tissue. The simulated E-R data sets are compared with E-R data sets obtained from anaesthetized dogs. Both the simulated E-R data sets and most of the in vivo determined E-R data sets are incompatible with a model description of pulmonary gas transfer with parallel placed compartments with different ventilation-perfusion ratios. Concerning the simulated E-R data sets, this incompatibility is due to the large buffering capacity of lung tissue for highly soluble gases in combination ...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
