Serum and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid galactomannan assays in patients with pulmonary aspergilloma.

Clinical Infectious Diseases, 2011
The sensitivities of the serum and bronchoalveolar lavage galactomannan (GM) assays in 48 patients with pulmonary aspergilloma were 38% (13 of 34; 95% confidence interval [CI], 22%-56%) and 92% (33 of 36; 95% CI, 78%-98%), respectively. The positivity of

Polymyositis associated with dyspnoea and interstitial lung disease in a dog (Canis familiaris)

Veterinary Record Case Reports, EarlyView.
Abstract A 5‐year‐old, female, spayed coonhound was evaluated for progressive dyspnoea, weakness and weight loss. The patient had increased inspiratory and expiratory respiratory effort and generalised skeletal muscle atrophy. Thoracic radiographs and computed tomography revealed interstitial lung disease. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed multifocal

Weakened Airway Epithelial Junctions and Enhanced Neutrophil Elastase Release Contribute to Age‐Dependent Bacteremia Risk Following Pneumococcal Pneumonia

Aging Cell, EarlyView.
During spread of Streptococcus pneumoniae from the lung to the bloodstream, the pneumococcal pore‐forming toxin pneumolysin (PLY) disrupts apical junction complexes (AJCs) and triggers the transmigration of polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNs), which secrete tissue‐destructive neutrophil elastase.

Proinflammatory cytokine changes in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid cells isolated from pigs infected solely with porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus or co-infected with swine influenza virus

Journal of Veterinary Research, 2019
The study evaluated the patterns of local innate immune response in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) cells of pigs infected with porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) alone or co-infected with swine influenza virus (SIV).

Stirring faces: mixing in a quiescent fluid [PDF]

arXiv, 2012
This fluid dynamics video depicts the mixing that occurs as a two-dimensional flat plate plunges sinusoidally in a quiescent fluid. Finite-time Lyapunov exponents reveal sets that are attracting or repelling. As the flow field develops, strange faces emerge.
