Does hyperbaric air exposure at 2.5 ATA affect respiratory mechanics and lung histology in the rat?
Our results indicate that, at variance with hyperoxic hyperbarism, the acute exposure to only hyperbarism does not affect either the elastic or the resistive respiratory system properties, or lung histology.
In mice, removed submandibular lymph nodes are functionally completely replaced by the contralateral nodes. These studies demonstrate for the first time lymphatic drainage crossing the midline of the body. Consequently, unilateral lymphadenectomy does not improve corneal graft survival.
