X-ray imaging is a standard tool for the non-destructive inspection of the internal structure of
samples. It finds application in a vast diversity of fields: medicine, biology, many engineering …

Transient tachypnea of newborn (TTN) results from failure of the newborn to effectively clear
the fetal lung fluid soon after birth. TTN represents the most common etiology of respiratory …

During the development of the pulmonary vasculature in the fetus, many structural and
functional changes occur to prepare the lung for the transition to air breathing. The …

The transition to newborn life at birth involves major cardiovascular changes that are
triggered by lung aeration. These include a large increase in pulmonary blood flow (PBF) …

X-ray sources are developing rapidly and their coherent output is growing correspondingly.
The increased coherent flux from modern X-ray sources is being matched with an …

We propose that the respiratory transition at birth passes through three distinct, but
overlapping phases, which reflect different physiological states of the lung. Accordingly …

In early stages of various pulmonary diseases, such as emphysema and fibrosis, the change
in X-ray attenuation is not detectable with absorption-based radiography. To monitor the …

We provide a selective review of recent progress in the analysis of several physiological and
physiologically inspired fluid-structure interaction problems, our aim being to explain the …

Background Non-invasive ventilation is sometimes unable to provide the respiratory needs
of very premature infants in the delivery room. While airway obstruction is thought to be the …

Umbilical cord clamping at birth has a major impact on an infant's cardiovascular system that
varies in significance depending upon whether the infant has commenced breathing. As …
