Reproducibility and Diagnostic Utility of a Simplified Oil Red O Test in Infant Bronchoalveolar Lavage Samples

Diagnostic Cytopathology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Aspiration in infants is a diagnostic challenge. The lipid‐laden macrophage index (LLMI) developed in 1987 has been used as a supportive test; however, numerous recent studies have questioned its value and reproducibility. We evaluated a simplified LLMI in bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) specimens from a pediatric cohort to assess ...

Evolution of experimental design and research techniques in HIV-1 reservoir studies : a systematic review

, 2020
Although HIV-1 has evolved from a deadly to a chronic disease over the past 20 years, an HIV-1 cure is still lacking due to the presence of persisting cellular viral reservoirs which are spread throughout the body in different anatomical compartments ...

Biomarkers of lung congestion and injury in acute heart failure

ESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 781-789, April 2025.
Abstract Acute heart failure (AHF) classification and management are primarily based on lung congestion and/or hypoperfusion. The quantification of the vascular and tissue lung damage is not standard practice though biomarkers of lung injury may play a relevant role in this context.

Effects of fluticasone propionate inhalation on levels of arachidonic acid metabolites in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease

Mediators of Inflammation, 2001
Background: In smoking COPD patients the bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid contains high numbers of inflammatory cells. These cells might produce arachidonic acid (AA) metabolites, which contribute to inflammation and an increased bronchomotor tone.

Vitreous lavage fluid and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid have equal diagnostic value in sarcoidosis

Medicine, 2016
Here, we elucidate the immunological features of both bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) and vitreous lavage fluid (VLF) samples from patients with histopathologically verified sarcoidosis. In addition, we assess the safety of vitrectomy in sarcoidosis patients by investigating the occurrence of complications and the recovery of visual acuity.Twenty ...

Evaluation of Acute Exposure to Combustible and Novel Tobacco Products Using an In Vitro Human Airway Organ Tissue Equivalent Model

Journal of Applied Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Despite the well‐known risks of tobacco use, tobacco exposure remains a major contributor to morbidity and mortality worldwide. Although cigarette use has declined, the popularity of novel tobacco products (NTPs), such as electronic cigarettes (ECs) and heated tobacco products (HTPs), has increased.
