[Upper airways ventilation in patients with rhonchopathy]
Abstract:
To analyse ventilation in the upper airways in patients with a long history of rhonchopathy (RP), we examined 90 RP patients aged 42-46 years, most of them males (75%). The results of clinico-paraclinical examinations of the nose, paranasal sinuses, pharynx showed that all the examinees had affection of two organs - nose and pharynx. Passage of the air through nasal and pharyngeal cavities is hindered because of stenosed airpassage. This resulted in inadequate ventilation in the upper airways in relation to the rate of oxygen supply and metabolism of the proteins, fats, carbohydrates.

Alveolar Surface Tension
The alveolar fluid lines the luminal surface of the alveoli and exerts a force called surface tension. This force is caused by the polar water molecules in the liquid being more strongly attracted to each...
