Electronic nose analysis of bronchoalveolar lavage fluid

European Journal of Clinical Investigation, 2010
Eur J Clin Invest 2010; 41 (1): 52–58AbstractBackground  Electronic nose (E‐nose) technology has been successfully used to diagnose a number of microbial infections. We have investigated the potential use of an E‐nose for the diagnosis of ventilator‐associated pneumonia (VAP) by detecting micro‐organisms in bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid in a ...

Levels of Transferrin in Bronchoalveolar Lavage Fluid in Sarcoidosis [PDF]

Lung, 2010
There has been only one report showing high levels of transferrin (Tf) in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) in patients with sarcoidosis. This study was designed to assess the levels of Tf in both BALF and serum and to examine the relationship between the levels of Tf and other disease markers in sarcoidosis.

Guanylyl cyclase activation reverses resistive breathing–induced lung injury and inflammation [PDF]

, 2015
Inspiratory resistive breathing (RB), encountered in obstructive lung diseases, induces lung injury. The soluble guanylyl cyclase (sGC)/cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) pathway is down-regulated in chronic and acute animal models of RB, such as ...

The epithelial barrier theory proposes a comprehensive explanation for the origins of allergic and other chronic noncommunicable diseases

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Exposure to common noxious agents (1), including allergens, pollutants, and micro‐nanoplastics, can cause epithelial barrier damage (2) in our body's protective linings. This may trigger an immune response to our microbiome (3). The epithelial barrier theory explains how this process can lead to chronic noncommunicable diseases (4) affecting organs ...

Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor‐121 Administration Mitigates Halogen Inhalation‐Induced Pulmonary Injury and Fetal Growth Restriction in Pregnant Mice

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2020
Background Circulating levels of sFLT‐1 (soluble fms‐like tyrosine kinase 1), the extracellular domain of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) receptor 1, and its ratio to levels of placental growth factor are markers of the occurrence and severity ...

Comparison of different microbiological procedures for the diagnosis of Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia on bronchoalveolar-lavage fluid

BMC Microbiology, 2022
Background The current diagnostic gold standard for Pneumocystis jirovecii is represented by microscopic visualization of the fungus from clinical respiratory samples, as bronchoalveolar-lavage fluid, defining “proven” P.
