Mechanisms That Prevent Vascular Leakage During Leukocyte Extravasation
ABSTRACT Background Inflammation is the response of the immune system against harmful stimuli in tissues. Leukocyte extravasation or TransEndothelial Migration (TEM) is a crucial step during inflammation, in which leukocytes migrate over the endothelial barrier toward the damaged tissue.

Lung ultrasound in systemic sclerosis: correlation with high-resolution computed tomography, pulmonary function tests and clinical variables of disease [PDF]
Interstitial lung disease (ILD) is a hallmark of systemic sclerosis (SSc). Although high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) is the gold standard to diagnose ILD, recently lung ultrasound (LUS) has emerged in SSc patients as a new promising technique ...

Antimicrobial prescribing guidelines for horses in Australia
The growing problem of antimicrobial resistance also affects equine veterinarians with increasing frequency. Antimicrobial stewardship and responsible prescribing are essential for a future in which effective antimicrobials are available, as it is unlikely that new antimicrobials will become available for use in horses.

The effect of high frequency oscillatory ventilation combined with tracheal gas insufflation on extravascular lung water in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome: a randomized, crossover, physiological study. [PDF]
Purpose: High frequency oscillation combined with tracheal gas insufflation (HFO-TGI) improves oxygenation in patients with Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS). There is limited physiologic data regarding the effects of HFO-TGI on hemodynamics and

Monitoring of lung edema by microwave reflectometry during lung ischemia-reperfusion injury in vivo [PDF]
It is still unclear whether lung edema can be monitored by microwave reflectometry and whether the measured changes in lung dry matter content (DMC) are accompanied by changes in PaO(2) and in pro-to anti-inflammatory cytokine expression (IFN-gamma and ...

Postperfusion lung syndrome: Respiratory mechanics, respiratory indices and biomarkers
Postperfusion lung syndrome is rare but lethal. Secondary inflammatory response was the popularly accepted theory for the underlying etiology. Respiratory index (RI) and arterial oxygen tension/fractional inspired oxygen can be reliable indices for the ...

A protocol for resuscitation of severe burn patients guided by transpulmonary thermodilution and lactate levels: A 3-year prospective cohort study [PDF]
Introduction: The use of urinary output and vital signs to guide initial burn resuscitation may lead to suboptimal resuscitation. Invasive hemodynamic monitoring may result in over-resuscitation.

ABSTRACT Background Separation surgery followed by radiotherapy has emerged as a prevalent approach for managing spinal metastatic tumors. However, large‐volume postoperative pleural effusion (POPE) represents a challenging complication, as it potentially delays subsequent treatments and increases morbidity. This study aims to identify risk factors for
