1. Lung growth and lung hypoplasia in congenital diaphragmatic hernia
Abstract : Pulmonary hypoplasia and persistent pulmonary hypertension are the main causes of mortality and morbidity in newborns with congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH). Prenatal tracheal occlusion or ligation (TL) is known to accelerate lung growth, but the mechanism of this is poorly understood. READ MORE

2. Long-term follow-up in children born with congenital diaphragmatic hernia
Abstract : Congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) is a developmental defect which occurs in approximately 1 per 3000 births. The incomplete development of the diaphragm early in gestation allows abdominal viscera to herniate into the thoracic cavity. The malformation differs in size and can occur on either one or both sides, but most commonly on the left. READ MORE

3. Surgical reconstruction of functional and anatomical defects in the diaphragmatic hiatus
Abstract : Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is characterized mainly by heartburn and acid regurgitation but in the more severe forms even organic manifestations can occur. Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) is the main medical treatment of GERD but antireflux surgery should be looked upon as an effective long-term therapeutic option. READ MORE

4. Role of ion and water channels for lung growth in congenital diaphragmatic hernia
Abstract : Early lung development is based on a continuous cross-talk of growth and transcription factors between the developing lung bud and the surrounding parenchyma. Throughout fetal life, pulmonary growth and differentiation depend on Cl- driven lung liquid secretion. READ MORE

5. Regional Lung Mechanics and Influence of an Active Diaphragm in Experimental Lung Injury
Abstract : Despite being an essential life-support strategy in severe respiratory failure, mechanical ventilation can, if not optimally set and monitored, lead to injury of the lung parenchyma and diaphragm. These conditions are called ventilator-induced lung injury and ventilator-induced diaphragmatic dysfunction (VIDD), respectively. READ MORE
