Tube Thoracostomy: Complications and Its Management
Tập 2012 - Trang 1-10 - 2012
Background. Tube thoracostomy is widely used throughout the medical, surgical,
and critical care specialities. It is generally used to drain pleural
collections either as elective or emergency. Complications resulting from tube
thoracostomy can occasionally be life threatening.Aim. To present an update on
the complications and management of complications of tube thoracostomy.Methods.

Evaluating the Ameliorative Potential of Quercetin against the Bleomycin-Induced Pulmonary Fibrosis in Wistar Rats
Tập 2013 - Trang 1-10 - 2013
The current study deals with the effect of a dietary flavanoid quercetin on
fibrotic lung tissue in rats. Bleomycin was administered by single intratracheal
instillation to Wistar rats to induce lung fibrosis. The pathologies associated
with this included significantly reduced antioxidant capacity, ultimately
leading to protracted inflammation of the lung tissue. The hallmark of this
induced fibro...
Practical Guidelines: Lung Transplantation in Patients with Cystic Fibrosis
Tập 2014 - Trang 1-22 - 2014
There are no European recommendations on issues specifically related to lung
transplantation (LTX) in cystic fibrosis (CF). The main goal of this paper is to
provide CF care team members with clinically relevant CF-specific information on
all aspects of LTX, highlighting areas of consensus and controversy throughout
Europe. Bilateral lung transplantation has been shown to be an important
therapeut...
Mechanisms of Physical Activity Limitation in Chronic Lung Diseases
Tập 2012 - Trang 1-11 - 2012
In chronic lung diseases physical activity limitation is multifactorial
involving respiratory, hemodynamic, and peripheral muscle abnormalities. The
mechanisms of limitation discussed in this paper relate to (i) the imbalance
between ventilatory capacity and demand, (ii) the imbalance between energy
demand and supply to working respiratory and peripheral muscles, and (iii) the
factors that induce ...
Amiloride-Sensitive Sodium Channels and Pulmonary Edema
Tập 2011 - Trang 1-8 - 2011
The development of pulmonary edema can be considered as a combination of
alveolar flooding via increased fluid filtration, impaired alveolar-capillary
barrier integrity, and disturbed resolution due to decreased alveolar fluid
clearance. An important mechanism regulating alveolar fluid clearance is sodium
transport across the alveolar epithelium. Transepithelial sodium transport is
largely depende...
Levels of Interferon-Gamma Increase after Treatment for Latent Tuberculosis Infection in a High-Transmission Setting
Tập 2012 - Trang 1-6 - 2012
Objectives. We investigated IFN-γlevels before and after a six month course of
isoniazid among individuals with latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI) in a
high-transmission setting.Design. A total of 26 household contacts of pulmonary
tuberculosis patients who were positive for LTBI by tuberculin skin test
completed six months of treatment and submitted a blood sample for a follow-up
examination. T...
