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

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

Genome Comparisons of Candida glabrata Serial Clinical Isolates Reveal Patterns of Genetic Variation in Infecting Clonal Populations

Candida glabrata is an opportunistic fungal pathogen that currently ranks as the second most common cause of candidiasis.Although the mechanisms underlying Custom Framing virulence and drug resistance in C.glabrata are now starting to be elucidated, we still lack a good understanding of how this yeast adapts during the course of an infection.Outsta
