Lymphoma is a group of blood cell tumors that develop from lymphocytes (a type of white blood cell). The name often refers to just the cancerous ones rather than all such tumors. Signs and symptoms may include enlarged lymph nodes, fever, drenching sweats, unintended weight loss, itching, and constantly feeling tired.
Lung volumes and capacitirs: Tidal volume increases by 45% during pregnancy, with approximately half of the change occurring during the first trimester. Functional residuak capacity begins to decrease by the fifth month of the pregnancy.
Part 2. Effect of pulmonary shunt on respiratory dead-space measurements. In this part of the study the ratio of alveolar dead-space to alveolar tidal volume was kept constant at 1%, corresponding to a ratio of physiological dead-space to tidal volume of 30%. The tidal volume in the alveolar dead-space was 5.3 ml.
