COMBINED EFFECTS OF VENTILATION MODE AND POSITIVE END-EXPIRATORY PRESSURE ON MECHANICS, GAS EXCHANGE AND THE EPITHELIUM IN MICE WITH ACUTE LUNG INJURY.

The accepted protocol to ventilate patients with acute lung injury is to use low tidal volume (V(T)) in combination with recruitment maneuvers or positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP).However, an important aspect of mechanical ventilation has not been considered: the combined effects of PEEP and ventilation modes on the integrity of the epitheliu

Stereotactic ablative radiotherapy (SAbR) is an emerging non-invasive definitive treatment option for primary renal cell carcinoma (RCC), particularly when surgery is not ideal.Employing ablative doses, SAbR delivered in one to five fractions to the primary tumor has been shown to achieve high local control rates with favorable toxicity profile in

Through an analysis of European case-law on working time, the Author points out that the adoption by the Member States of a system of objective, reliable and accessible measurement of working time (while exercising their discretion Faux Tweed Coats as to how the measurement system is to be implemented, taking into account, where appropriate, the sp

For studying longitudinal force bearing capacity of slave locomotives in heavy haul trains, nonlinear draft gear models and detailed coupler models were developed after the analysis of working mechanism of 13A/QKX100 coupler/draft gear systems.By utilizing a train model consisted of one HXD1 8-axle locomotive and two C80 freight wagons, dynamic beh

Objective of this work is to investigate the structural change and economic dynamics of farms pursuing diversification and differentiation strategies in Italy.The analysis was performed on a Latte Spoons panel of data built on the basis of information collected by the Italian FADN between 2003-2009.For the purpose of the analysis, we divided the po
