emotional freedom technique (eft) as a new therapeutic technique in energy psychology has positive effects on psychological and physiological symptoms, and quality of life. in this research we studied the effect of this treatment on immunological factors. this study tested whether 8-week group sessions of eft (compared to a wait-list control group) with emphasis on patient's respiratory, psycho...

background: transfusion services rely on transfusion reaction reporting to provide patient care and protect the blood supply. unnecessary discontinuation of blood is a major wastage of scarce blood, as well as man, hours and funds. the aim of the present study was to describe the main characteristics of acute transfusion reactions reported in the 4 hospital of kermanshah university of medical s...

experimental evidence suggested that sodium ferulate (sf) and oxymatrine (omt) combination had synergistic anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects. we hypothesized that sf and omt combination treatment might have protective effects on paraquat-induced acute lung injury. in our study, the swiss mice were randomly divided into seven groups, including control, paraquat (pq), sf (6.2 mg/kg/day); ...

Background Acute lung injury (ALI) is defined as PaO2/FiO2 less than 300 with bilateral pulmonary infiltrates, without pressure is the top of the left atrium. Early diagnosis and treatment of pediatric ALI and find new cases is very important. Accurate diagnosis and effective steps to treating these patients is essential in the outcome of ALI. This study was conducted to show the impact of recr...

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...

Objective(s): Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is confirmed to cause lesions in multiple organs, especially in the lung tissue. Tempol is an antioxidant that has been reported to restrain inflammation and oxidative stress, with its role in OSA-induced lung injury being unclear. This study aimed to investigate the beneficial effect of tempol on chronic intermittent hypoxia (IH)-induced lung injury....

OBJECTIVES To perform a meta-analysis of gene expression microarray data from animal studies of lung injury, and to identify an injury-specific gene expression signature capable of predicting the development of lung injury in humans. METHODS We performed a microarray meta-analysis using 77 microarray chips across six platforms, two species and different animal lung injury models exposed to lu...

  Purpose: Since explosive blasts continue to cause casualties in both civil and military environments, there is a need for an understanding of the mechanisms of blast trauma at the human organ level, plus a more detailed predictive methodology. The primary goal of this research was to develop a finite element model capable of predicting primary blast injury to the lung so as to assist in the d...

BACKGROUND Mechanical ventilation causes ventilator-induced lung injury in animals and humans. Mitogen-activated protein kinases have been implicated in ventilator-induced lung injury though their functional significance remains incomplete. We characterize the role of p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase/mitogen activated protein kinase kinase-3 and c-Jun-NH(2)-terminal kinase-1 in ventilator-i...
