1. A scanographic assessment of alveolar recruitment and overinflation during high frequence ventilation : preliminary results in three patients
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: High-frequency ventilation (HFV) may offer an attractive alternative to conventional strategies in the ventilation of the acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) or acute lung injury (ALI) because it can minimize lung injury. Maintaining ventilation between lower and upper inflection points, it can warrant alveolar recruitment w

3. New pathological findings in emphysema of childhood: 2. Overinflation of a normal lobe
A quantitative study of the structure of the affected lobe from a patient with childhood lobar emphysema is here reported. The left upper lobe was removed from a child aged 2½ months who was suffering from acute respiratory distress and showing on his radiograph hypertransradiancy of the left lung.

4. Relation between abnormalities in the chest radiograph and changes in pulmonary function in chronic bronchitis and emphysema
Chest radiographs of 101 patients with chronic airflow obstruction were assessed for evidence of over-inflation (increased retrosternal space, low diaphragm, and increased total lung capacity), pulmonary hypertension (increase in size of heart and major pulmonary vessels) and attenuation of medium-sized pulmonary vessels. The radiological abnormalities were

5. Radiological abnormalities in children with asthma and their relation to the clinical findings and some respiratory function tests
Criteria are put forward for the recognition and assessment of radiographic abnormalities in childhood asthma. Using these criteria, radiographs of the chest in 218 children with asthma are compared with those of 162 normal children. In 73% of the asthmatic children the radiograph appeared to be normal, 15% presented a simple overinflation pattern with long

6. Studies in chronic allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis. 4. Comparison with a group of asthmatics.
A comparison is made of lung function tests and radiographic findings in 20 asthmatic patients with allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis paired in terms of sex, age, and duration of asthma with 20 other asthmatics in whom the diagnosis of aspergillosis was excluded in order to see if the aspergillosis causes more lung damage. One hundred per cent of the p

7. Studies in chronic allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis. 2. Radiological findings.
The characteristics and the incidence of changes in plain chest radiographs were analysed in detail in 50 asthmatic patients with chronic allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis in whom the diagnosis had been made from 2 to 25 years previously (mean duration 10-9 years). One thousand two hundred and forty-two chest radiographs, an average of about two per ye
