Bronchiolitis obliterans in single-lung transplant recipients.
The presentation and clinical course of bronchiolitis obliterans (BO) in single-lung transplant (SLT) recipients has thus far not been well described. We retrospectively analyzed the serial spirometry of 15 SLT patients with BO. All the patients fulfilled the criteria for BO syndrome, and 11 of the 15 had histologically documented BO. Based on serial FEV1 analysis, we identified three patterns ...
متن کاملBronchiolitis Obliterans Syndrome (BOS) Following Lung Transplant.
The main change seen with BOS is scarring of the small airways of transplanted lung(s). This scarring leads to narrowing of the airways, limiting airflow with loss of lung function. Early after the onset of BOS, a person may not have any symptoms, but will develop breathlessness and chronic cough as BOS gets worse. There are different stages of BOS based on lung function results. Some people de...
متن کاملDeja vu in temporal lobe epilepsy.
Hughlings Jackson was the first to demonstrate that paroxysmal deij vu (called by him 'reminiscence') is significantly related to disease of the temporosphenoidal region (Jackson, 1880, 1888; Jackson and Colman, 1898; Jackson and Purves-Stewart, 1899). Although he mentioned several cases of dieja vu with left-sided lesions (Jackson, 1888; Jackson and Colman, 1898) in his view the phenomenon ari...
متن کاملSurvival after bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome among bilateral lung transplant recipients.
RATIONALE Despite the importance of bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome (BOS) in lung transplantation, little is known regarding the factors that influence survival after the onset of this condition, particularly among bilateral transplant recipients. OBJECTIVES To identify factors that influence survival after the onset of BOS among bilateral lung transplant recipients. METHODS The effect of...
متن کاملAntimicrobial peptides in lung transplant recipients with bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome.
Mechanisms other than classical alloimmunity are implicated in the pathogenesis of bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome (BOS). It was hypothesised that antimicrobial peptides (AMPs), elements of the innate immune response, have a role in BOS pathogenesis. Pulmonary expression of the neutrophil-derived AMPs human cathelicidin (hCAP)-18/LL-37 and alpha-defensins (human neutrophil peptides (HNP) 1-3)...
