A small metabolic flux model to identify transient metabolic regulations in Saccharomyces cerevisiae
Urs von Stockar, Christoph Herwig
The understanding of dynamic metabolic regulations is important for physiol. studies and strain characterization tasks. The present study combined transient expts. with online metabolic flux anal. (MFA) in order to quantify metabolic regulations, namely ca ...
2002Sniff nasal pressure: a sensitive respiratory test to assess progression of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis
Impairment of pulmonary function is a major prognostic indicator in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Forced vital capacity (FVC) and maximal voluntary ventilation (MVV) decline linearly and are commonly used to assess disease progression. The aim of th ...
1999Perfluorocarbon induced alterations in pulmonary mechanics
Perfluorocarbon (PFC) compounds induce pulmonary hyperinflation and respiratory distress in some animals following intravenous administration. This study was designed to quantify the effects of two PFC emulsions on lung volumes and compliance and to identi ...
1998Time constant histograms from the forced expired volume signal: a clinical evaluation
We evaluated a multicompartment analysis of forced expiration, based on modelling the lung as a set of twenty parallel compartments emptying exponentially with time constants ranging from 0.1-10s; the forced expired volume signal was represented ba a histo ...
1989Coexistence of hypocalciuric hypercalcaemia and interstitial lung disease in a family: a cross-sectional study
In a prospective investigation, a large kindred (twenty-one subjects) with unexplained association of familial hypocalciuric hypercalcaemia and idiopathic interstitial lung disease was studied. Serum calcium was increased in fifteen patients (the youngest ...
1985The inherited association of interstitial lung disease, hypocalciuric hypercalcemia, and defective granulocyte function
The history and pulmonary histopathology of 3 siblings, presenting with the association of idiopathic interstitial lung disease, hypocalciuric hypercalcemia, and an intrinsic defect in granulocyte function are described. Prospective examination of 40 famil ...
