Stiffening and Contraction Induced by Dexamethasone in Alveolar Epithelial Cells
The structural integrity of the alveolar monolayer, which is compromised during lung inflammation, is determined by the balance between cell–cell and cell-matrix tethering forces and the centripetal forces owi...

Oscillatory Mechanics
Normal tidal breathing is produced by cyclic muscular pressure applied to the chest wall. The breathing flow generated by the driving pressure is determined by the mechanical properties of the respiratory syst...

Mathematic predictive models for calculating copper, iron and zinc dialysability in infant formulas
Differences in the dialysability of a mineral element from infant formulas of the same type were detected in a previous study. As these may be due to the effects that different levels of the components of the...

Monitoring Respiratory Mechanics by Forced Oscillation in Ventilated Patients
The forced oscillation technique (FOT) is a non–invasive procedure particularly useful for assessing respiratory mechanics during ventilation since application of the method does not require patient co–operati...

In vitro dialyzability of zinc from different salts used in the supplementation of infant formulas
Seven zinc salts—acetate, chloride, lactate, sulfate, citrate, gluconate, and oxide—were added to milk—and soy-based infant formulas to estimate possible differences in zinc availability depending on the type ...
