Pulmonary Valve Replacement
<p>Currently, transcatheter pulmonary valve replacement (TPVR) is a well-established alternative for surgical pulmonary valve replacement (SPVR) to treat pulmonary valve disorders in patients with prior congenital heart surgery. Edwards Sapien 3 valve is a bioprosthesis originally designed for the …

PULMONARY ARTERY STIFFNESS IN RACEHORSES AFFECTED BY EXERCISE-INDUCED PULMONARY HEMORRHAGE
Exercise-induced pulmonary hemorrhage (EIPH) is a common cause of poor performance in racehorses and reflects extreme exercise pressures and progressive changes of the pulmonary vessels. The aim of this thesis was to investigate whether pulmonary artery stiffness (PAS), a Doppler-derived index of …

Pulmonary endarterectomy for chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension in Cape Town, South Africa
Introduction: Pulmonary endarterectomy (PEA) is the only definitive and potentially curative therapy for chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH), associated with impressive improvements in symptoms and haemodynamics. However, it is only offered at a few centres in South Africa. The …

Arrhythmias in Pulmonary Hypertension
Cardiac arrhythmias are common in patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) due to structural and electrical remodelling of the right heart, and are associated with adverse clinical outcomes. This study investigated the prevalence and clinical significance of conduction abnormalities and …

Aspects Of Pulmonary Surfactant Metabolism
Pulmonary surfactant stabilizes the lung by reducing the surface tension at the air liquid interface of the alveolus. Phosphatidylcholine represents the principal component of surfactant (70% by weight), other lipids account for 20% of surfactant and the remaining 10% is protein. Four …

Tomosynthesis in pulmonary cystic fibrosis
… whether chest tomosynthesis might be used in pulmonary cystic fibrosis, to design and validate a tomosynthesis scoring system, and to determine the effective dose from chest tomosynthesis in children. In a prospective study starting in 2008 clinical chest radiography or computed tomography …

Investigating pulmonary vascular B cells
… debris and pathogenic stimuli. A component of pulmonary host defense is neutrophils which are found within the lung capillary network. Within the pulmonary capillaries, there is a population of neutrophils which remains adherent to the vascular endothelium for extended periods of time and …

The pathogenesis of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis
Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a restrictive pulmonary disorder of unknown aetiology with a relentless disease course and a median survival of 3 years after the diagnosis. It is the most common idiopathic interstitial lung disease (ILD) with a basal and peripheral predominance associated …

Cardiovascular Outcomes Following Xenobiotic Pulmonary Exposures
… decades, investigations have demonstrated that pulmonary exposure to xenobiotic particulate matter promotes and exacerbates cardiovascular disease including myocardial infarction. The impact of particulate matter on cardiovascular health has served as a backdrop concern raising questions …

Mechanisms Regulating Pulmonary Sensitivity to Radiation
… identified to represent the full spectrum of pulmonary pathology associated with acute radiation exposure to the thorax. We next evaluated ultrastructural pathology to identify differences in tissue response among strains as early as twenty-four hours after radiation. Global differential gene …

Proniosome formulations for pulmonary drug delivery
In this study niosomes were generated from proniosomes (Span 60: Cholesterol 1:1) using beclomethasone dipropionate (BDP, 5 mole %) as a model drug. When niosomes were processed via probe sonication, photon correlation spectroscopy study showed that niosomes generated from proniosomes had larger …
