PEEP impedes thoracic duct drainage (LF). This can be counteracted by a thoracic duct fistula. Consequently, lung oedema (LOE) should develop during PEEP more slowly with LF at atmospheric pressure (LFAP) than with LF against jugular venous pressure (LFJVP). In 12 anaesthetized dogs LOE was produced

The effect of positive end-expiratory pressure ventilation (PEEP, 11-12 mmHg, 60-90 min without, 19 h with circulatory support) on fractional escape rate of plasma proteins (FER), and on thoracic duct lymph flow draining against jugular venous (LFJVP) or atmospheric pressure (LFAP) was studied in an
## Abstract The inhibitory effect of the thoracic duct lymph of a patient with lung cancer on the “one‐way” mixed lymphocyte reaction without cytotoxicity is unequivocally demonstrated. The effect seems to be dose related. A moderate inhibition of mixed lymphocyte reaction is still observed, even i
