Journal ArticleDOI
On connecting large vessels to small. The meaning of Murray's law.
TL;DR: A large part of the branching vasculature of the mammalian circulatory and respiratory systems obeys Murray's law, and a functional relationship exists between vessel radius and volumetric flow, average linear velocity of flow, velocity profile, vessel-wall shear stress, Reynolds number, and pressure gradient in individual vessels.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Relationship between Chronic Hypoxemia and Activation of the Tumor Necrosis Factor- α System in Patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
Noriaki Takabatake,Hidenori Nakamura,Shuichi Abe,Sumito Inoue,Toshihiko Hino,Hiroshi Saito,Hideki Yuki,Shuichi Kato,Hitonobu Tomoike +8 more
TL;DR: Although circulating tumor necrosis factor (TNF)- α levels have been found to be increased in weight-losing patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), the main causes for this phenomenon remain to be elucidated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cutaneous Gas Exchange in Vertebrates: Design, Patterns, Control and Implications
TL;DR: In many lower vertebrates, the skin is the major or even sole avenue for respiration and the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide between skin and environment is commonplace in the vertebrates.
Journal ArticleDOI
Segmentation and analysis of the human airway tree from three-dimensional X-ray CT images
TL;DR: A fully automatic technique for segmenting the airway tree in three-dimensional (3-D) CT images of the thorax using grayscale morphological reconstruction to identify candidate airways on CT slices and then reconstruct a connected 3-DAirway tree.
Journal ArticleDOI
Inhalation injury: epidemiology, pathology, treatment strategies
TL;DR: Progress in mortality from inhalation injury are mostly due to widespread improvements in critical care rather than focused interventions for smoke inhalation, particularly as related to carbon monoxide and cyanide.
