Selected Publications

Development, deployment and usability of a point-of-care decision support system for chronic disease management using the recently-approved HL7 decision support service standard

Journal Article Studies in Health Technology and Informatics · December 1, 2007 Clinical decision support is recognized as one potential remedy for the growing crisis in healthcare quality in the United States and other industrialized nations. While decision support systems have been shown to improve care quality and reduce errors, th ... Cite

Cellular and connective tissue changes in alveolar septal walls in emphysema.

Journal Article Am J Respir Crit Care Med · December 1999 Emphysema is commonly defined as enlargement of airspaces distal to terminal bronchioles accompanied by destruction of alveolar walls, but without obvious fibrosis. Morphometric techniques were used to correlate changes in components of the alveolar septa ... Full text Link to item Cite

Monte Carlo analysis of multi-layer targets for production of 15O.

Journal Article Appl Radiat Isot · 1997 A Monte Carlo simulation code was written to analyze multi-layer targets for production of 15O. The code models beam-particle transport through the target and production and transport of generated radionuclides; it can be used to assess the effects on radi ... Full text Link to item Cite

Alveolar septal structure in different species.

Journal Article J Appl Physiol (1985) · September 1994 Because the retractive forces due to surface tension decrease with increasing radius of curvature, there should be a greater contribution to lung recoil attributable to the stress-bearing role of elastic elements in the lung parenchyma of species with larg ...

Cell number and distribution in human and rat airways.

Journal Article Am J Respir Cell Mol Biol · June 1994 Morphometric procedures were used to determine the number of cells, cell volume, cell diameter, and surface areas of the airways in human and rat lungs. Nuclear sizes of epithelial cells from human bronchi were significantly larger than other lung cell nuc ... Full text Link to item Cite

Radon dosimetry based on the depth distribution of nuclei in human and rat lungs.

Journal Article Health Phys · July 1991 Calculation of the absorbed dose by different lung cells is necessary for predicting the critical cells that are subject to injury from inhaled Rn and other alpha-particle sources. The absorbed dose was determined for cells in the airways of human and rat ... Full text Link to item Cite
