Transfusion-related acute lung injury in multiple traumatized patients

Background: Many of the multiple traumatized patients who refer to the hospital need transfusion. Transfusion-related acute lung injury (TRALI) is a serious clinical syndrome associated with the transfusion of plasma-containing blood components. In the article, we present a case of TRALI following transfusion of packed red blood cells Case Presentation: A 24 year old male referred to Shahid Beh...

Heat injury in the newborn.

Chronic lung injury in preterm lambs. Disordered respiratory tract development.

The cause of chronic lung disease of early infancy, often called bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD), remains unclear, partly because large-animal models that reliably reproduce BPD have not been available. We developed a model of BPD in lambs that are delivered prematurely and ventilated for 3 to 4 wk after birth to determine whether the histopathology of chronic lung injury in premature lambs mi...

Chronic heat stress in Iranian fat-tailed ram lambs: clinical and paraclinical parameters

BACKGROUND: The effect of heat stress on physiologicalparameters has been well documented. However, there arereports of a genetic based heat tolerance in some sheep breeds.OBJECTIVES: The aim of the present study was to monitor thephysiological responses of an Iranian fat-tailed breed againstheat stress and an acute stress insult. METHODS:Atotal numberof 15 fall-born ram lambs were selected and...
