We examined the effects of 10 min of lower lateral chest wall percussion with a mechanical percussor or hand clapping in groups of anesthetized, paralyzed, and ventilated supine dogs. Mechanical percussion was applied at 10-16 Hz and caused an esophageal pressure swing (delta Pes) of 10-17 cmH2O. Hand clapping was applied at 4-7 Hz and caused a delta Pes of 6-17 cmH2O. At necropsy there were large reddened areas on the lateral surface of the underlying lung as well as smaller reddened areas on the hilar surfaces of both lungs and on the lateral surface of the opposite lung. These reddened regions were demonstrated to be atelectatic by postmortem lung inflation (which caused the reddened areas to disappear) and by microscopic examination. Despite the atelectasis, gas exchange improved toward the end of the percussion or clapping period. In four dogs that were ventilated for an additional 20 min after percussion, there was a tendency for gas exchange initially to worsen and then to gradually improve.

Individualized PEEP titration by lung compliance during one-lung ventilation: a meta-analysis.

Background: Despite the physiological advantages of positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP), its optimal utilization during one-lung ventilation (OLV) remains uncertain. We aimed to investigate whether individualized PEEP titration by lung compliance is associated with a reduced risk of postoperative pulmonary complications during OLV.
Methods: We searched PubMed, Embase, and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials until April 1, 2024, to identify published randomized controlled trials that compared individualized PEEP titration by lung compliance with fixed PEEP during OLV.

Recent studies have shown that stem fluxes, although highly variable among trees, can alter the strength of the methane (CH) sink or nitrous oxide (NO) source in some forests, but the patterns and magnitudes of these fluxes remain unclear. This study investigated the drivers of subdaily and seasonal variations in stem and soil CH, NO and carbon dioxide (CO) fluxes. CH, NO and CO fluxes were measured continuously for 19 months in individual stems of two tree species, Eperua falcata (Aubl.

This study presents the synthesis of a Cd(II) based hydrophobic three dimensional crystalline network material (CNM), [Cd(L)(LH)(bpe)], {L = {4,4'-(hexafluroisopropylidine)bis(benzoate)} and 1,2-di(4-pyridyl) ethylene (bpe)}, 1(Cd), by employing the slow-diffusion method. The three-dimensional structure of 1(Cd) was determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction and characterized by powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD), FT-IR spectroscopy and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). Subsequently, post-synthetic modification of 1(Cd) with Cu(II) at room temperature led to the formation of isostructural 1(Cu) with partial substitution.

Challenges in CO capture, CO crossover, product separation, and electrolyte recovery hinder electrocatalytic CO reduction (COR). Here, we present an integrated electrochemical recovery and separation system (ERSS) with an ion separation module (ISM) between the anode and cathode of a water electrolysis system. During ERSS operation, protons from the anolyte flow through the anodic cation exchange membrane (CEM) into the ISM, acidifying the COR effluent electrolyte.

Functional regeneration of the lung's gas exchange surface following injury requires the coordination of a complex series of cell behaviors within the alveolar niche. Using single-cell transcriptomics combined with lineage tracing of proliferating progenitors, we examined mouse lung regeneration after influenza injury, demonstrating an asynchronously phased response across different cellular compartments. This longitudinal atlas of injury responses has produced a catalog of transient and persistent transcriptional alterations in cells as they transit across axes of differentiation.
