Proteomic Analysis of Golden Sputum Reveals Pulmonary Complement Activation During Acute Chest Syndrome in Children With Sickle Cell Disease

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Hematology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Acute chest syndrome (ACS) is one of the most common severe complications of sickle cell disease (SCD). In recent years, a major role of inflammation and innate immunity has been evidenced, but ACS pathophysiology remains incompletely understood, and therapeutic options are limited.

Effect of external PEEP in patients under controlled mechanical ventilation with an auto-PEEP of 5 cmH2O or higher. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
In some patients with auto-positive end-expiratory pressure (auto-PEEP), application of PEEP lower than auto-PEEP maintains a constant total PEEP, therefore reducing the inspiratory threshold load without detrimental cardiovascular or respiratory effects.

Animal models of benign airway stenosis: Advances in construction techniques, evaluation systems, and perspectives

open access: yesAnimal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
Currently, the animals commonly used to establish animal models of benign airway stenosis (BAS) include mice, rats, pigs, dogs, rabbits, and ferrets. The establishment methods involve one or a combination of two methods such as mechanical injury, tracheal cautery, cuff overpressure intubation, laser injury, and endoscopic silver nitrate cauterization ...

Management of pneumothorax in the setting of chronic non-invasive positive pressure ventilation: A case series

open access: yesRespiratory Medicine Case Reports, 2022
There is a growing population of patients who require chronic noninvasive ventilation. While these patients often have no parenchymal lung disease, the use of positive pressure ventilation itself predisposes to both initial and recurrent pneumothoraces ...

Comparison of two devices and two breathing patterns for exhaled breath condensate sampling. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Analysis of exhaled breath condensate (EBC) is a noninvasive method to access the epithelial lining fluid of the lungs. Due to standardization problems the method has not entered clinical practice. The aim of the study was to assess the comparability for

Association of Abatacept With Lower Mortality Risk Compared to Rituximab in Rheumatoid Arthritis–Associated Interstitial Lung Disease: An Emulated Target Trial

open access: yesArthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Objective The optimal treatment strategy for rheumatoid arthritis–associated interstitial lung disease (RA‐ILD) remains uncertain, and direct comparative data between biologics are limited. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of abatacept compared with rituximab in patients with RA‐ILD.

The role of the host—Neutrophil biology

open access: yesPeriodontology 2000, EarlyView., 2023
Abstract Neutrophilic polymorphonuclear leukocytes (neutrophils) are myeloid cells packed with lysosomal granules (hence also called granulocytes) that contain a formidable antimicrobial arsenal. They are terminally differentiated cells that play a critical role in acute and chronic inflammation, as well as in the resolution of inflammation and wound ...

Switching disease‐modifying therapies in patients with spinal muscular atrophy: A systematic review on effectiveness outcomes

open access: yesBritish Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
With multiple disease‐modifying therapies now available, treatment switching has become an important clinical consideration in the management of spinal muscular atrophy (SMA). While some switches are prompted by suboptimal clinical response, more commonly they are driven by treatment burden, convenience, or adverse events.
