This prospective study showed that re-expansion of the lung did not significantly affect urinary TBARS concentration in neonatal pneumothorax. Indirectly, short-term lung collapse followed by re-expansion might not cause a clinically significant reperfusion injury in newborns.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
