Gravity and the Lung: Lessons from Space,leural pressure, and mechanical stress (1). These topographical differences of structure and function have many implications in the way in which disease processes develop. Recent work on pulmonary function in the absence of gravity, including measurements in Spacelab SLS-1 in June 1991, have clarifi

However despite the extreme thinness of the blood-gas barrier, maintenance of its integrity is essential for efficient gas exchange. Mechanical failure will cause alveolar

Mechanisms of Lung Injury: An Overview,o, pulmonary pathophysiology was domina ted by questions that involved the mechanisms by which gas flow and blood flow in the lung occur, how these two flows are regulated and matched, and how they are altered by disease. These questions were addressed by studies that involved the whole organ (the l
