These are our analytical units (AU), similar to the consolidated regions in [ 8].
First, a list of 2029 consolidated regions (administrative regions similar to counties) was created from which to draw primary sample units (PSUs).
As previously seen in other studies, large numbers of granulocytes were present in pulmonary capillaries together with extensive focal hemorrhage and consolidated regions.
The results indicated a drastic landscape transformation in the selected area, which evolved from predominantly vegetated to a consolidated agricultural region.
Peak velocity, mean velocity and velocity time-interval were measured before and after fluid loading in the pulmonary artery supplying a consolidated lung region and characterized by a biphasic flow.
This score takes into account not only consolidated lung regions but also lung regions with moderate and severe loss of inflation [ 67].
As shown in Figure 6, despite the increase in CI, regional pulmonary blood flows within consolidated lung regions did not change, suggesting a predominant distribution in pulmonary vessels supplying normally aerated lung regions.
Evidence has accumulated that, in ARDS, regional perfusion is extremely variable and may affect oxygenation, independently from the amount of atelectatic-consolidated lung regions.
As a result, share of allocations for science from the consolidated sub-federal region's budget in total expenditures takes a following place in the norm.
In addition, these patients have a very small area of normally aerated alveoli located in the nondependent lung, a large consolidated or nonaerated region located in the dependent lung along the vertical axis [ 36- 38] and frequent infiltration of all of the four lung's quadrants on chest radiographs [ 1].
In our definition of sea ice regions, we classified "consolidated pack ice" as regions with pack ice concentration higher than 85%, "open pack ice" as regions with sea ice concentration higher than 15% and lower than 85% within the consolidated ice region, and "open water" as regions with sea ice concentrations lower than 15%39.
