Lung Compliance
|
D008170 |
[The capability of the LUNGS to distend under pressure as measured by pulmonary volume change per unit pressure change.

Lung Diseases, Interstitial
|
D017563 |
[A diverse group of lung diseases that affect the lung parenchyma. They are characterized by an initial inflammation of PULMONARY ALVEOLI that extends to the interstitium and beyond leading to diffuse PULMONARY FIBROSIS. Interstitial lung diseases are classified by their etiology (known or unknown causes), and radiological-pathological features.

Lung Injury
|
D055370 |
[Damage to any compartment of the lung caused by physical, chemical, or biological agents which characteristically elicit inflammatory reaction. These inflammatory reactions can either be acute and dominated by NEUTROPHILS, or chronic and dominated by LYMPHOCYTES and MACROPHAGES.

|
Lung, Hyperlucent
|
D019568 |
[A lung with reduced markings on its chest radiograph and increased areas of transradiancy (hyperlucency). A hyperlucent lung is usually associated with pulmonary emphysema or PNEUMOTHORAX.
, A pneumothorax condition marked by complete absence of markings in the chest radiograph.

Lupinus
|
D031297 |
[A plant genus of the family FABACEAE that is a source of SPARTEINE, lupanine and other lupin alkaloids.

Lupus Coagulation Inhibitor
|
D016682 |
[An antiphospholipid antibody found in association with systemic lupus erythematosus (LUPUS ERYTHEMATOSUS, SYSTEMIC;), ANTIPHOSPHOLIPID SYNDROME; and in a variety of other diseases as well as in healthy individuals. In vitro, the antibody interferes with the conversion of prothrombin to thrombin and prolongs the partial thromboplastin time. In vivo, it exerts a procoagulant effect resulting in thrombosis mainly in the larger veins and arteries. It further causes obstetrical complications, including fetal death and spontaneous abortion, as well as a variety of hematologic and neurologic complications.
