This review analyses the mechanisms by which lung fluid balance is strictly controlled in the
air-blood barrier (ABB). Relatively large trans-endothelial and trans-epithelial Starling …

Purpose This review recalls the principles developed over a century to describe trans-
capillary fluid exchanges concerning in particular the lung during exercise, a specific …

This pre-eminent work has developed over six editions in response to man's attempts to
climb higher and higher unaided, and to spend more time at altitude for both work and …

The O 2 diffusion limitation across the air blood barrier (DO 2 and subcomponents Dm and
Vc) was evaluated in 17 healthy participants exposed to hypobaric hypoxia (HA, 3840m, PIO …

Oxygen diffusion across the air-blood barrier in the lung is commensurate with metabolic
needs and ideally allows full equilibration between alveolar and blood partial oxygen …

This chapter concerns the contribution of the School of Milano to the study of human
responses to altitude exposure. Paolo Cerretelli's contributions are firstly described. The …

Swimming exercise at sea level causes a transient decrease in lung diffusing capacity for
carbon monoxide (DLCO). The exposure to hypobaric hypoxia can affect lung gas …

This chapter presents an integrated view of the various functions of the air–blood barrier
considered as an interface for gas exchange.“Safety factors” are being described allowing to …

[spa] La siguiente tesis doctoral tiene como objetivo principal estudiar la respuesta de la
difusión pulmonar en la barrera alveolocapilar durante diferentes condiciones extremas …

O estudo investigou o impacto da correção da hemoglobina na capacidade de difusão do
monóxido de carbono (DLCO) em pacientes com diversas condições clínicas. A análise de …
