Single Versus Multiple Doses of Surfactant Treatment in Preterm Infants
Journal of Pediatric Research, 2020 Aim:Exogenous surfactant may be needed not only for Respiratory Distress syndrome (RDS) treatment; but also, in the management of other pulmonary diseases of infants.

ACS Applied Materials and Interfaces, 2018 When inhaled nanoparticles (NPs) come into the deep lung, they develop a biomolecular corona by interacting with the pulmonary surfactant. The adsorption of the phospholipids and proteins gives a new biological identity to the NPs, which may alter their ...

Lung surfactant alterations in pulmonary thromboembolism
European Journal of Medical Research, 2009 Beside neonatal respiratory distress syndrome, secondary surfactant deficiency may occur in patients with mature lungs. Recent studies revealed quantitative and qualitative changes of lung surfactant in pulmonary thromboembolism (PTE) concerning the ...

Gene Therapy Potential for Genetic Disorders of Surfactant Dysfunction
Frontiers in Genome Editing, 2022 Pulmonary surfactant is critically important to prevent atelectasis by lowering the surface tension of the alveolar lining liquid. While respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) is common in premature infants, severe RDS in term and late preterm infants ...

Pulmonary effects of inhalation of spark-generated silver nanoparticles in Brown-Norway and Sprague-Dawley rats [PDF]
, 2016 The increasing use of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) in consumer products is concerning. We examined the potential toxic effects when inhaled in Brown-Norway (BN) rats with a pre-inflammatory state compared to Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats.We determined the ...

Xylem surfactants introduce a new element to the cohesion-tension theory [PDF]
, 2016 Vascular plants transport water under negative pressure without constantly creating gas bubbles that would disable their hydraulic systems. Attempts to replicate this feat in artificial systems almost invariably result in bubble formation, except under ...

Unveiling the Molecular Structure of Pulmonary Surfactant Corona on Nanoparticles.
ACS Nano, 2017 The growing risk of human exposure to airborne nanoparticles (NPs) causes a general concern on the biosafety of nanotechnology. Inhaled NPs can deposit in the deep lung at which they interact with the pulmonary surfactant (PS).

Familial idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis in a young female
Respiratory Medicine Case Reports, 2018 Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis is a chronic interstitial lung disease of unknown cause. In the past years there have been observations of clustering of pulmonary fibrosis in families, indicating the disease can be inherited.
