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.

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 ...

Rationale for Prolonged Glucocorticoid Use in Pediatric ARDS: What the Adults Can Teach Us. [PDF]
, 2016 Based on molecular mechanisms and physiologic data, a strong association has been established between dysregulated systemic inflammation and progression of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS).

A finite membrane element formulation for surfactants
, 2019 Surfactants play an important role in various physiological and biomechanical applications. An example is the respiratory system, where pulmonary surfactants facilitate the breathing and reduce the possibility of airway blocking by lowering the surface ...

Biosynthesis of phosphatidylcholine by human lysophosphatidylcholine acyltransferase 11
Journal of Lipid Research, 2009 Pulmonary surfactant is a complex of phospholipids and proteins lining the alveolar walls of the lung. It reduces surface tension in the alveoli, and is critical for normal respiration.

Biophysicochemical interaction of a clinical pulmonary surfactant with nano-alumina
, 2015 We report on the interaction of pulmonary surfactant composed of phospholipids and proteins with nanometric alumina (Al2O3) in the context of lung exposure and nanotoxicity.
