Preventive treatment of alveolar pulmonary edema of cardiogenic origin
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the efficacy of preventive treatment (PT) on alveolar pulmonary edema (APE) of cardiogenic origin using a monitor based on principles of internal thoracic impedance (ITI) measurements. METHODS We conducted blinded clinical trials on patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and monitored whether the condition would progress to APE. ITI was measured non-inv...
متن کاملA role for adrenomedullin in the pathogenesis of alveolar edema
Christ-Crain and colleagues [1] established in their work a close relationship between pro-adrenomedullin levels and severity of community acquired pneumonia. This raises the question of whether this peptide or its precursor adrenomedullin are involved in the pathogenesis of the respiratory compromise in pneumonia. Adrenomedullin induces nitric oxide (NO) production in endothelial cells through...
متن کاملElectron microscopic alterations at the alveolar level in pulmonary edema.
The electron microscopic alterations of the alveolar septum in advanced hemodynamic and alloxan-induced pulmonary edema were compared. Pulmonary edema was produced in anesthetized dogs by means of increased left atrial pressure and hemodilution and by alloxan administration. Sections of pulmonary tissue from these dogs and similarly anesthetized controls were processed for and examined by light...
متن کاملEdema Toxin Impairs Anthracidal Phospholipase A2 Expression by Alveolar Macrophages
Bacillus anthracis, the etiological agent of anthrax, is a spore-forming gram-positive bacterium. Infection with this pathogen results in multisystem dysfunction and death. The pathogenicity of B. anthracis is due to the production of virulence factors, including edema toxin (ET). Recently, we established the protective role of type-IIA secreted phospholipase A2 (sPLA2-IIA) against B. anthracis...
متن کاملMicromechanics of Macroelectronics
The advent of flat-panel displays has opened the era of macroelectronics. Enthusiasm is gathering to develop macroelectronics as a platform for many technologies, ranging from paper-like displays to thin-film solar cells, technologies that aim to address the essential societal needs for easily accessible information, renewable energy, and sustainable environment. The widespread use of these lar...
