Experimental studies and few human reports demonstrate that hyperoxia increases the level of reactive oxygen-derived free radicals and that these substances can produce oxidative cellular injury. However, available data suggest that the human lung is more resistant to hyperoxic oxidative damage than previously expected and demonstrate that absorption ...

Lung transplantation in interstitial lung disease
Current Opinion in Pulmonary Medicine, 2001Interstitial lung disease is a heterogeneous group of illnesses, some of which may progress to a fibrosing stage and cause respiratory failure. For selected candidates, lung transplantation is the ultimate therapeutic option. We review data on lung transplantation for various interstitial lung diseases.
