The phrase "a decrease in lung" is not correct as it is incomplete and lacks context.
It could be used in a medical or scientific context when discussing changes in lung function or health, but it needs to be part of a complete thought.
Example: "The study showed a decrease in lung capacity among the participants after exposure to pollutants."
Alternatives: "a reduction in lung" or "a decline in lung".
They also noted a correlation between proximal acid and a decrease in lung diffusion capacity.
Dr. Tashkin said he and his colleagues had found in their own research — unexpectedly — that even smoking up to three joints a day did not appear to cause a decrease in lung function.
The lower respiratory rate (while keeping a similar inspiratory time and tidal volume) during pressure support led to a decrease in lung deposition as compared to volume control.
a Chest radiograph showed a decrease in lung translucency in the caudal region of the right lung with an air bronchogram.
Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a permeability pulmonary edema, characterized by hypoxemia and a decrease in lung volumes and respiratory system compliance [1, 2].
This suggests not only that in children with ARDS there is a decrease in lung gas volume but that the ventilated tissue presents different structural characteristics.
Lung mechanical properties improved in prone position, as shown by the different slopes of the lung pressure volume curve, corresponding to a decrease in lung elastance.
In a prospective study by Chiumello et al. [43], comparing control patients with those with acute lung injury or ARDS, increasing PEEP from 5 to 15 cmH2O led to a decrease in lung, chest wall, and respiratory system elastance.
This means the proportion of deaths caused by lung conditions is likely to remain stable over the next 20 years, even though a decrease in lung infections is predicted.
A recently published meta-analysis, including eight trials that evaluated two types of mechanical ventilation in patients with uninjured lungs in the operating room, demonstrated a decrease in lung injury development, pulmonary infection, and atelectasis using lower tidal volumes and high PEEP [31].
In particular, there was a decrease in the rate of deaths from stomach cancer in almost all countries, a decrease in lung cancer deaths among men, and a decrease in breast and prostate cancer deaths in developed countries, according to the study.
