Measuring exhaled nitric oxide: not only a matter of how--but also why--should we do it?
The biological functions of nitric oxide are so diverse and complex that it is now becoming increasingly difficult to delineate briefly the physiological roles and pathophysiological implications of this seemingly simple messenger molecule [1].

Three building blocks of a concept of procedura...
متن کاملShould we treat pyrexia? And how do we do it?
The concept of pyrexia as a protective physiological response to aid in host defence has been challenged with the awareness of the severe metabolic stress induced by pyrexia. The host response to pyrexia varies, however, according to the disease profile and severity and, as such, the management of pyrexia should differ; for example, temperature control is safe and effective in septic shock but ...
