Proteases and lung injury

Critical Care Medicine, 2003
Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) represents an inflammatory process that is initiated by diverse systemic and/or pulmonary insults, resulting in a clinical syndrome of severe respiratory distress and refractory hypoxemia. Neutrophils and their cytotoxic products, including oxidants and proteases, such as elastase, have been implicated as ...

Lung Vascular Injury

Chest, 1988
I n this paper I introduce some new developments in the study of lung vascular injury and revisit some older approaches that need a fresh look. Lung vascular injury is becoming more and more fascinating as findings and techniques in other fields are adapted to lung vessels. Most topics of the Aspen Conference related to lung vascular injury; I tried to

Lung/Pleural Injuries

2017
Thoracic trauma account for about 25% of all trauma deaths and may produce injuries to endothoracic organs that play a vital role in normal physiology and homeostasis; some injuries to the chest and its contents, if unrecognized or untreated, may produce death within minutes.

Perioperative Lung Injury

Best Practice & Research Clinical Anaesthesiology, 2008
Patients are at risk for several types of lung injury in the perioperative period. These injuries include atelectasis, pneumonia, pneumothorax, bronchopleural fistula, acute lung injury and acute respiratory distress syndrome. Anesthetic management can cause, exacerbate or ameliorate most of these injuries.

Biomarkers in Acute Lung Injury: Insights into the Pathogenesis of Acute Lung Injury [PDF]

open access: yesCritical Care Clinics, 2011
Studies of potential biomarkers of acute lung injury (ALI) have provided information relating to the pathophysiology of the mechanisms of lung injury and repair. The utility of biomarkers remains solely among research tools to investigate lung injury and repair mechanisms.

Acute Lung Injury

Journal of Thoracic Imaging
Acute lung injury (ALI) is acute pulmonary inflammation with underlying pathology of disruption of the pulmonary vasculature endothelial and alveolar epithelial barriers. ALI is not an uncommon diagnosis and has a myriad of causes including pulmonary infection, (including sepsis), drugs, connective tissue disease, and polytrauma.

Blast lung injury

Journal of The Royal Naval Medical Service, 2011
Blast lung injury is an increasing problem for UK forces in Afghanistan, but is not a new phenomenon, with evidence that it has been increasing in incidence over the last century. Management is conservative, but there are newer therapies that may play a role in the future management of this condition.

Transfusion and lung injury

Transfusion Clinique et Biologique, 2001
The respiratory tree has been viewed as an infrequent site of injury arising as a complication of transfusion. In recent years, this view has changed as investigators have shown that two complications--circulatory overload and transfusion-related acute lung injury--are relatively frequent events.

MECHANISMS OF LUNG INJURY

Clinics in Chest Medicine, 1982
The adult respiratory distress syndrome is pulmonary edema with low heart pressures and hypoxemia. Based on experimental models of the human disease, it is likely that functional injury to the lung includes pulmonary vasoconstriction, a loss of hypoxic vasoconstriction, increases in resistance to airflow across the lungs, decreases in lung compliance ...

Contralateral Lung Injury Associated With Single-Lung Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury

The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 1996
There have been very few studies on the effect of single-lung ischemia-reperfusion on the function of the contralateral lung. This study was designed to clarify the effect.Fifteen mongrel dogs were divided into two groups. In group 1 (n = 7), the left lung was subjected to ischemia without ventilation for 90 minutes, and then reperfused. In group II (n
