Sentence examples for lung stiffness from inspiring English sources

Increased tone in the pulmonary blood vessels could have an effect on lung stiffness [19], but vascular smooth muscle does not contract with histamine.

So, any increased lung stiffness must result entirely from contraction of airway smooth muscle, which exists in all airways down to the acini [20].

It is not known how much of the change in lung stiffness results from large or small airway constriction, but it is known that restricting the contractile agonist to just the conducting airways supplied by the bronchial circulation can cause a significant increase in lung elasticity [21].

The establishment of fibrosis led to a further, substantial increase in lung stiffness.

Lung elastance, a measure of lung stiffness, rises progressively in rodent VILI due to such alterations as edema development and atelectasis due to surfactant dysfunction [ 6, 39].

The degree of lung stiffness was also negatively correlated to pathology scores in the TGF-β rat model as we show for the sheep model [ 32].

7 Not only has this effect been seen in breast cancer, but has been used as a diagnostic and surgical tool in many other cancers, including those of the brain, skin, liver, and lung, where the mechanical stiffness of the native tissue can increase up to 100 times that in the healthy state.

Excess amounts of EF affect the "hardness" or "stiffness" of lungs and increase the work of breathing in the early inspiratory phase because of enhanced elastic recoil.
