Raised bile acid concentrations in SIDS lungs at necropsy.
Previous studies of the abnormal physical properties of lung surfactant derived from infants experiencing prolonged expiratory apnoea, or who have died of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS), have led to a search for the agent responsible. Bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) has been performed upon 12 infants under 12 months at necropsy and the rinsings analysed for up to 26 bile acids using high perf...
متن کاملAsbestos bodies in bronchoalveolar lavage in relation to asbestos bodies and asbestos fibres in lung parenchyma.
In Finland, unlike other countries, anthophyllite asbestos has been widely used due to its domestic production in 1918-1975. In this particular context, the aim of the present study was to analyse the relationship between asbestos bodies (ABs) in bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid and the concentration of ABs and the different amphibole asbestos fibres in lung tissue. Sixty five BAL lung tissue...
متن کاملPrevalence of asbestos bodies in a necropsy series in East London: association with disease, occupation, and domiciliary address.
The prevalence of asbestos bodies was measured in lung sections in a necropsy series carried out at the London Hospital (1965-66) after exclusion of all known asbestos factory workers and cases of asbestosis and of mesothelioma. Associations were sought between the presence and number of asbestos bodies with the patients' sex, domiciliary address, occupation, industry, and diseases recorded at ...
متن کاملAsbestos bodies in bronchoalveolar lavage reflect lung asbestos body concentration.
Asbestos body (AB) countings on both bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluids and digested lung tissue samples were performed in one hundred consecutive subjects submitted to a thoracotomy procedure, mostly for lung carcinoma. A good correlation (r = 0.73) was found between the two groups of values for the total group of subjects. When restrictive selection criteria were taken into account, such as ...
متن کاملRelevance of asbestos bodies in sputum.
The presence of asbestos bodies (ABs) in sputum specimens of individuals with occupational asbestos exposure has been well-documented. The aim of this study was to determine their clinical relevance in comparison to the concentration of AB in bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) and lung tissue. Subjects were included following a well-documented exposure of asbestos history (n = 93) or BAL fluid analys...
