Alveolar capillary dysplasia with misalignment of the pulmonary veins (ACD/MPV) is a rare and lethal cause of refractory pulmonary hypertension of the newborn. We describe the clinical course of a ...

Pneumonitis with Alveolar-Capillary Block in a Cattle Rancher Exposed to Epizootic Bovine Abortion Authors : Marshall G. Barnes , M.D. , and Henry Brainerd , M.D. Author Info & Affiliations ...

Alveolar capillary dysplasia is a rare and fatal disease of newborn infants. Here we describe a patient with alveolar capillary dysplasia, multiple congenital anomalies, a novel genetic mutation ...

UCLA researchers have successfully grown miniature lungs from stem cells—complete with their own functioning blood vessel ...

Damage to the alveolar capillary endothelium is a well-established cause of the influx of protein-rich fluid into the alveolar compartment. [4,6] However, the epithelium is also critical in ...

An alveolar–capillary diffusion limitation to oxygen, essentially reflecting a diffusion–perfusion defect, 30 predominates in advanced stages of the syndrome.

Blood clotting (thrombosis) in the capillary vessels of the lungs is one of the first consequences of severe COVID-19, even preceding the respiratory distress caused by diffuse alveolar damage ...

Using a previously developed microfluidic human Lung Alveolus Chip lined by human lung alveolar epithelial cells interfaced with lung capillary cells to recreate the alveolar-capillary interface ...

Childhood interstitial lung disease (chILD) is a rare disorder that affects babies, children, and teens. Get an overview of what it is and its causes, diagnosis, and treatment.
