Sample Preparation of Bronchoalveolar Lavage Fluid

2008
Respiratory diseases are important health problem throughout the world. The bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid obtained by fiber-optic bronchoscopy is a biofluid reflecting the expression of secreted pulmonary proteins and the products of activated cells.

Study of Immune Complexes in Bronchoalveolar Lavage Fluids

Respiration, 2009
Immune complexes (IC) were investigated in the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BAL) of 5 patients with hypersensitivity pneumonitis (HP), 11 with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) and 16 with sarcoidosis (S) by three different methods: C1Q-BA, KgB, AKgB-MA. Using AKgB-MA, it is possible to identify the class of antibodies forming the IC.

Galactomannan in Bronchoalveolar Lavage Fluid

American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, 2008
Abstract Rationale Invasive aspergillosis (IA) is an important cause of mortality in patients with hematologic malignancies. However, IA appears to be gaining a foothold in the intensive care unit (ICU) in patients without classical risk factors.

Proteomics of Bronchoalveolar Lavage Fluid and Sputum

2008
Bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) and sputum, obtained through more or less noninvasive techniques, contain cells and many soluble compounds from respiratory tract secretions and are, therefore, important sources for the study of the lung and its pathologies.

Automated interpretation and analysis of bronchoalveolar lavage fluid

International Journal of Medical Informatics, 2022
The cytological analysis of bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) plays an essential role in the differential diagnosis of respiratory diseases. In recent years, deep learning has demonstrated excellent performance in image processing and object recognition.We aim to apply deep learning to the automated interpretation and analysis of BALF.Visual images ...

Microbiology of bronchoalveolar lavage fluid in

2011
BACKGROUND: Precise etiologic diagnosis in pediatric community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) remains challenging. METHODS: We conducted a retrospective study of CAP etiology in 2 groups of pediatric patients who underwent flexible bronchoscopy (FOB) with bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL); children with acute nonresponsive CAP (NR-CAP; n = 127) or recurrent CAP ...

Neutrophilia in Bronchoalveolar Lavage Fluid of Diffuse Panbronchiolitis

Chest, 1990
The clinical and pathologic features of diffuse panbronchiolitis (DPB) have been well reported to date, although its pathogenesis remains unknown. In the present study, we performed bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) on three patients with biopsy specimen-proven DPB and eight patients with highly probable DPB (six women and five men; one smoker and ten ...

Proteomics and the lung: Analysis of bronchoalveolar lavage fluid

PROTEOMICS – Clinical Applications, 2009
AbstractOur knowledge of the complex bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) proteome has increased significantly over the last decade; but still, there remain many aspects of the BALF proteome that need characterization. Current proteomic methodologies resolve proteins within limited dynamic ranges: thereby, being limited in their ability to examine ...

Surfactant protein A in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid.

The Journal of laboratory and clinical medicine, 1992
We measured surfactant protein A and phosphatidylcholine in the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid from healthy volunteers and several groups of patients with lung diseases to obtain information on surfactant in the lung. We developed three types of enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays that used combinations of polyclonal antiserum and monoclonal antibodies ...
