An upright posture in bed or chair also aids lung expansion.

Ribs go straight down instead of outward and back, limiting room for lung expansion.

Most important thing to remember: The chest width allows for lung expansion and determines agility!

Jäykkä described the importance of capillary erection in lung expansion at birth.

Words such as "the bends", "nitrogen narcosis" and "lung expansion" were filling my head.

Respiratory expansion, indicating whether lung expansion is equal.

In other cases, stiffness of the chest wall, weak muscles, or damaged nerves may cause the restriction in lung expansion.

The procedure is usually performed when the lung is covered by a thick, inelastic pleural peel restricting lung expansion.

In a select group of fetuses with CDH, tracheal occlusion is used to obstruct the normal flow of fetal lung fluid and to stimulate lung expansion and growth.

In fact, when I was examined by the Mutual Life Insurance Company, in 1873, my lung expansion was taken by the doctor, and the old gentleman was there at the time.

Widely known by its former trade name of Coramine, it was used in the mid-twentieth century as a medical countermeasure against tranquilizer overdoses, before the advent of endotracheal intubation and positive-pressure lung expansion.

Tactile fremitus is pathologically increased over areas of consolidation and decreased or absent over areas of pleural effusion or pneumothorax (when there is air outside the lung in the chest cavity, preventing lung expansion).

Restrictive lung diseases (also known as interstitial lung diseases) are a category of respiratory disease characterized by a loss of lung compliance, causing incomplete lung expansion and increased lung stiffness, such as in infants with respiratory distress syndrome.

A horse that will do slow, steady work might not be hampered by chest conformation that limits lung capacity, but any other horse that will do work requiring speed, power, or endurance needs as much room as possible for maximum lung expansion.

Restrictive lung diseases (or restrictive ventilatory defects) are a category of extrapulmonary, pleural, or parenchymal respiratory diseases that restrict lung expansion, resulting in a decreased lung volume, an increased work of breathing, and inadequate ventilation and/or oxygenation.

Due to the lung expansion being lower (inferior) on the body as opposed to higher up (superior), it is referred to as 'deep' and the higher lung expansion of rib cage breathing is referred to as 'shallow'.
