Handling of Bioactive Materials by the Lung

TL;DR: The primitive lung was little more than an air sac containing minute vessels in its walls for gas exchange that served as an accessory organ of breathing that allowed fishes seeking refuge from oxyg...

Mesothelial cell inclusions in mediastinal lymph nodes mimicking metastatic carcinoma.

TL;DR: Two extremely unusual cases in which metastatic cancer was mimicked by mesothelial cell inclusions in mediastinal lymph nodes are reported, with the pattern of cytokeratin immunoreactivity consistent with a mesOThelial cell: namely, stronger Immunoreactivity in a perinuclear location with some fading at the cell periphery.

Glutamine Enhancement of Structure and Function in Transplanted Small Intestine in the Rat

TL;DR: Whether glutamine improves graft structure and function, the optimal route of glutamine delivery (intravenous vs direct infusion into the graft), and the effect of glutamines on ultrastructure of the graft enterocyte are investigated.
Journal ArticleDOI

The alveolar-capillary membrane and pulmonary edema.

TL;DR: Pulmonary edema represents the extravasation of a filtrate of plasma directly from pulmonary capillaries into alveoli as the result of one of two alternative mechanisms: an imbalance of forces operating across a normal alveolar-capillary barrier so that reabsorptive forces cannot cope with the high transcapillary filtration rates.
