Lung Lavage Cell Profiles in Diffuse Lung Disease [PDF]
The standard armamentarium of tests that are used by pulmonologist are laboratory tests, pulmonary function tests, different radiological techniques (conventional chest-X rays, HRCT scans, etc) and pathohistological analyses of biopsies.

Stat-6 signaling pathway and not Interleukin-1 mediates multi-walled carbon nanotube-induced lung fibrosis in mice: insights from an adverse outcome pathway framework [PDF]
Background The accumulation of MWCNTs in the lung environment leads to inflammation and the development of disease similar to pulmonary fibrosis in rodents.

Epithelial–Mesenchymal Transition in Human Alveolar Cells Exposed to Indium Chloride
ABSTRACT For workers in the industry, occupational exposure to indium compounds induces pulmonary disorders, such as interstitial pneumonia. Moreover, lung cancer has been reported in both humans and rodents exposed to indium compounds by inhalation. However, the biological mechanism underlying indium‐induced disorders is poorly understood.

Pleural innate response activator B cells protect against pneumonia via a GM-CSF-IgM axis [PDF]
Pneumonia is a major cause of mortality worldwide and a serious problem in critical care medicine, but the immunophysiological processes that confer either protection or morbidity are not completely understood. We show that in response to lung infection,

Early IL‐1 Inhibition in Still's Disease: A Window of Opportunity for Improving Outcomes
Objective Still's disease is a complex, multisystemic disorder requiring prompt diagnosis and treatment. This study provides a general assessment of a Still's disease cohort aiming to evaluate the efficacy of early intervention with interleukin‐1 inhibitors (IL‐1i) in achieving clinical inactive disease (CID) and reducing glucocorticoid use in patients
