We studied the effects of continuous negative external chest pressure (CNECP) produced by a cuirass appliance on lung water and protein transport in sheep with chronic lung lymphatic fistulas. We compared data obtained during periods of mechanical ventilation (base line) to period of CNECP, using identical ventilatory support. Three groups were studied: six sheep were studied before and after application of CNECP for 1 h (control) and again after induction of a pulmonary vascular permeability defect (PVPD) by infusing live Pseudomonas bacteria (group I); another six sheep were studied under control conditions before and after prolonged application of CNECP for over 4 h (group II); 10 sheep were studied 24 h after a Pseudomonas infusion (PVPD), before and after 4 h of CNECP (group III).

Usage information is collected from two different sources: this site (JCI) and Pubmed Central (PMC). JCI information (compiled daily) shows human readership based on methods we employ to screen out robotic usage. PMC information (aggregated monthly) is also similarly screened of robotic usage.
Various methods are used to distinguish robotic usage. For example, Google automatically scans articles to add to its search index and identifies itself as robotic; other services might not clearly identify themselves as robotic, or they are new or unknown as robotic. Because this activity can be misinterpreted as human readership, data may be re-processed periodically to reflect an improved understanding of robotic activity. Because of these factors, readers should consider usage information illustrative but subject to change.
