Objective To evaluate the efficacy of nocturnal nasal ventilation (NNV) in patients with rigidly
defined, severe but stable chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and hypercapnia. …

Motivated by our interest in lung deformation injury, we report on the validation of a new live
cell strain system. We showed that the system maintains a cell culture environment …

Lack of synchrony between a patient and the mechanical ventilator occurs when the respiratory
rhythm of the patient fails to entrain to machine inflations. Entrainment implies a resetting …

Introduction This small observational study was motivated by our belief that scaling the tidal
volume in mechanically ventilated patients to the size of the injured lung is safer and more '…

Once excess liquid gains access to air spaces of an injured lung, the act of breathing creates
and destroys foam and thereby contributes to the wounding of epithelial cells by interfacial …

METHODS. Freshly harvested rat AT1 &AT2 were cultured on optical− grade glass culture
dishes, and a lipid tether was pulled from a single cell using an optically− trapped 1µ …

The focus of this chapter has been the information contained in airway pressure, volume,
and flow traces from mechanically-ventilated patients. It has not been our intention to make …

METHODS. Human A549 and NIH 3T3 cells were cultured to confluency on glass coverslips
in either Hamm's F12K or DMEM, respectively. On the day of experiment the media was …
