Balanced multi-electrolyte solution versus normal saline for fluid therapy in aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage: an influence on fluid and electrolytes balance and outcome

open access: yesFrontiers in Medicine
IntroductionIsotonic crystalloids are commonly used for maintaining fluid balance and cerebral perfusion pressure in critical care patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH).

Ligation of protease-activated receptor 1 enhances alpha(v)beta(6) integrin-dependent TGF-beta activation and promotes acute lung injury [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
Activation of latent TGF-beta by the alpha(v)beta(6) integrin is a critical step in the development of acute lung injury. However, the mechanism by which a alpha(v)beta(6)-mediated TGF-beta activation is regulated has not been identified.

Role of P-selectin in platelet sequestration in pulmonary capillaries during endotoxemia [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
Background: There is growing evidence that platelets accumulate in the lung and contribute to the pathogenesis of acute lung injury during endotoxemia.

Neutrophils and galectin-3 defend mice from lethal bacterial infection and humans from acute respiratory failure

open access: yesNature Communications
Respiratory infection by Pseudomonas aeruginosa, common in hospitalized immunocompromised and immunocompetent ventilated patients, can be life-threatening because of antibiotic resistance.

A cluster randomized trial on inspiratory effort-targeted pressure support adjustment strategy in patients undergoing assisted mechanical ventilation: protocol for the IT-PSV study

open access: yesFrontiers in Medicine
BackgroundPressure support ventilation (PSV) is one of the most frequently used ventilator modes in the intensive care unit (ICU). The successful implementation of PSV depends on matching the patient’s inspiratory effort with the ventilator support.

Shape-sensing robotic-assisted bronchoscopy (ss-RAB) for peripheral pulmonary nodules: learning curve and diagnostic performance from an initial multicenter experience in China

open access: yesRespiratory Research
Background Shape-sensing robotic-assisted bronchoscopy (ssRAB) is an emerging technology in geographies outside the United States in use for complex pulmonary nodule biopsy.

Lung injury after thoracotomy [PDF]

open access: yesBritish Journal of Anaesthesia, 2003
Postoperative respiratory complications are the commonest problem after all types of thoracic surgery. The exact incidence depends on the type of surgery and the preoperative health and lung function of the patient, but rates of up to 50% are often quoted. 12 Most of these complications are diagnosed as either ‘pneumonia’ or ‘postoperative atelectasis’.

The virulence trait and genotype distribution amongst the Pseudomonas aeruginosa clinical strains

open access: yesBMC Microbiology
Background Pseudomonas aeruginosa is notorious for its complex virulence system and rapid adaptive drug resistance. This study aimed to compare the prevalence and genotype distribution of virulence genes in multidrug-sensitive and multidrug-resistant ...

Lung Injury and Oxidoreductases

open access: yesEnvironmental Health Perspectives, 1998
Acute lung injury represents a wide spectrum of pathologic processes, the most severe end of the spectrum being the acute respiratory distress syndrome. Reactive oxygen intermediates have been implicated as important in the pathobiochemistry of acute lung injury.

Tamoxifen-induced Lung Injury

open access: yesInternal Medicine, 2017
Cases of drug-induced lung injury caused by tamoxifen are rare. A 74-year-old man underwent surgery for the treatment of right breast cancer; tamoxifen was administered as an adjuvant therapy after surgery. The patient developed cough and dyspnea and chest computed tomography showed ground glass opacification in the lower lobe of the right lung. He was
