We present a case of solitary fibrous tumor arising from uterine cervix with a benign course, as well as its histopathological and immunohistochemical features that helped establishing the diagnosis.

Short courses of mechanical ventilation with high-O2 levels in elderly rat lungs

PURPOSE: To evaluate the effects of mechanical ventilation (MV) of high-oxygen concentration in pulmonary dysfunction in adult and elderly rats. METHODS: Twenty-eight adult (A) and elderly (E), male rats were ventilated for 1 hour (G-AV1 and G-EV1) or for 3 hours (G-AV3 and G-EV3). A and E groups received a tidal volume of 7 mL/kg, a positive end-expiratory pressure of 5 cm H2O, respiratory rate of 70 cycles pe...
