Genetic Variability of Surfactant Protein-B and Respiratory Distress Syndrome: Clinical Implications
Pulmonary surfactant is a lipoprotein complex that consists of a variety of lipids -- primarily phospholipids -- and several proteins. The function of surfactant is to prevent lung collapse, ...
The primary function of the surfactant is to decrease the surface tension at the air–liquid interface in the alveoli and distal bronchioles, to promote lung expansion during inspiration and to prevent ...
In a recent study posted to the bioRxiv* preprint server, researchers discuss the role of a surfactant-mediated inflammatory response employed by human lungs against the severe acute respiratory ...
Instead, surfactant is also important in narrow tubular respiratory structures such as the terminal airways of mammals and the air capillaries of birds. (3). Insect tracheoles: We investigate the ...
A nationwide study led by researchers at UCSF provides evidence that inhaled nitric oxide is safe and effective for the prevention of the most common type of long-term lung disease of very premature ...
Unconventional reservoirs typically yield less than 10% oil recovery. In the Permian basin, enhanced oil recovery (EOR) schemes include CO 2 injection, huff and puff, water injection, and, to a lesser ...
