Pathophysiological aspects of severe acute pancreatitis-associated lung injury [PDF]

Srpski Arhiv za Celokupno Lekarstvo, 2005
Acute pancreatitis is an inflammatory process which occurs in severe form in 20% of all patients, out of whom 1596-25% will die. The incidence of severe acute pancreatitis-associated lung injury (APALI) varies from 15% to 55% and its severity varies from

Coagulation and anticoagulation in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis [PDF]

, 2015
Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is an incurable, progressive interstitial lung disease with a prognosis that is worse than that of many cancers. Epidemiological studies have demonstrated a link between IPF and thrombotic vascular events.

Circulating leukotriene b4 identifies respiratory complications after trauma [PDF]

, 2012
Background. Leukotriene B4 (LTB4), a proinflammatory lipid mediator correlates well with the acute phase of Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS). Therefore, LTB4-levels were investigated to determine whether they might be a useful clinical marker ...

Multi‐Responsive Dendrimer‐Hyaluronic Acid Hydrogel With Lubricating and Immunoregulatory Functions for Synergistic Osteoarthritis Therapy

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A hydrogel with dynamic cross‐links was formed by cross‐linking hyaluronic acid with curcumin‐preloaded, phenylboronic acid‐modified poly(amidoamine) dendrimers. This hydrogel exhibited excellent injectability and self‐healing ability, enabling controlled Cur release in response to low pH, high reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation, or mechanical ...

Use of pressure muscle index to predict the contribution of patient’s inspiratory effort during pressure support ventilation: a prospective physiological study

Frontiers in Medicine
BackgroundThe successful implementation of assisted ventilation depends on matching the patient’s effort with the ventilator support. Pressure muscle index (PMI), an airway pressure based measurement, has been used as noninvasive monitoring to assess the

Neutrophils in acute lung injury

Frontiers in Bioscience, 2012
Acute lung injury (ALI)/acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is characterised by lung oedema due to increased permeability of the alveolar-capillary barrier and subsequent impairment of arterial oxygenation. Lung oedema and endothelial and epithelial injury are accompanied by an influx of neutrophils into the interstitium and alveolar space ...
