CONT

Bronchoalveolar lavage or BAL is a minimally-invasive procedure that involves instillation of sterile normal saline into a sub-segment of the lung, followed by suction and collection of the instillation for analysis. This procedure is typically facilitated by the introduction of a flexible bronchoscope into a sub-segment of the lung.

Subject field(s)
  • Bioengineering
  • Scientific Measurements and Analyses
DEF

The mixing and dispersal of a test substance in the air as a fine spray of colloidal-sized particles.

CONT

The possible routes of exposure by inhalation are by intranasal or intratracheal instillation, or via aerosols. The preferred route of exposure is via intranasal instillation; dosing by aerosolization is typically the least acceptable route because of the difficulty in achieving an appropriate dose.

CONT

The performance of ... compressors ... was studied in combination with [a] recommended ... nebuliser for the aerosolisation of a marketed tobramycin solution .... The droplet size distribution of the generated aerosol was measured with laser diffraction technique.

CONT

There is ... the potential to immunize through aerosolization of the harmless engineered C. crescentus strain to deliver the rPA-IV via a route more indicative of an inhalation anthrax challenge.

PHR

Immunize through aerosolization.

PHR

CONT

The study's purpose was to compare several implants and verify the function of the valve or flow restrictors found in the Ahmed Glaucoma Valve implant, Krupin Eye Disk and OptiMed Glaucoma Pressure Regulator... The investigator's interest... stemmed from manufacturers’ claim that the devices prevent immediate hypotony. "Also instillation is said to be simple because you do not have to worry about temporarily occluding the tube lumen, as in the Molteno implant... to keep pressure from going too low... "
