Biomarker-guided antibiotic stewardship in suspected ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAPrapid2) : a randomised controlled trial and process evaluation [PDF]

, 2019
Background Ventilator-associated pneumonia is the most common intensive care unit (ICU)-acquired infection, yet accurate diagnosis remains difficult, leading to overuse of antibiotics. Low concentrations of IL-1β and IL-8 in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid

Bayesian Simultaneous Factorization and Prediction Using Multi-Omic Data [PDF]

arXiv, 2022
Understanding of the pathophysiology of obstructive lung disease (OLD) is limited by available methods to examine the relationship between multi-omic molecular phenomena and clinical outcomes. Integrative factorization methods for multi-omic data can reveal latent patterns of variation describing important biological signal.

Hybrid continuum-molecular modeling of fluid slip flow [PDF]

, 2020
Experiments on fluid systems in micro-/nano-scale solid conveyors have shown a violation of the no-slip assumption that have been adopted by the classical fluid mechanics. To correct this mechanics for the fluid slip, various approaches have been proposed to determine the slip boundary conditions.

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.

Rapid identification of respiratory bacterial pathogens from bronchoalveolar lavage fluid in cattle by MALDI-TOF MS [PDF]

, 2019
Respiratory tract infections are a major health problem and indication for antimicrobial use in cattle and in humans. Currently, most antimicrobial treatments are initiated without microbiological results, holding the risk of inappropriate first ...
