Background: Goats in India are endangered by various disease outbreaks. A limited number of conditions goats have been investigated with regard to the effect oxidative stress. Oxidative stress is an active field research implicated numerous processes including sepsis, enteritis, pneumonia, mastitis, joint diseases etc. The present work was undertaken study contributing pathological changes natu...

OBJECTIVES To investigate the in vivo efficacy in a murine pulmonary infection model of panobacumab (KBPA101), a human IgM monoclonal antibody directed against the O-polysaccharide moiety of Pseudomonas aeruginosa serotype O11, and to describe the anti-inflammatory effects in the lung as a consequence of the treatment. METHODS We established an experimental murine model of acute pneumonia by ...

The finding of collections of macrophages/histiocytes in lung biopsy and bronchoalveolar lavage is relatively common in routine practice. This morphological feature in itself is pathological, but the exact clinical significance and underlying disease should be evaluated together with clinical data, functional respiratory and laboratory tests and imaging studies.Morphological characteristics of ...

The object of the following s tudy is twofold: to determine the presence of influenza-like bacilli in the throat and bronchial mucus of children with and without pulmonary inflammations, and to arrive at a differentiation of these bacilli by means of cultural characters and agglutination reactions. The material was chosen with a view to including as many different pulmonary conditions as possib...

OBJECTIVE We compared the results of bronchoplasty and bronchoplasty with pulmonary angioplasty (broncho-angioplasty). Multivariate analysis was done to determine potential prognostic factors for both procedures based on our 20-year single-center experience. METHODS Between January 1985 and December 2004, 163 bronchoplastic procedures were done in 1405 patients who underwent lung resections f...

We have compared the searching of the presence of "honeycomb" structures by direct microscopy on wet mount preparations with the direct immunofluorescence (DIF) for the diagnosis of Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia (PCP) in 115 bronchoalveolar (BAL) fluids. The samples belonged to 115 AIDS patients; 87 with presumptive diagnosis of PCP and 28 with presumptive diagnosis other than PCP. The obtaine...

Recurrent pneumonia in adults can be due to various etiologies. Congenital bronchoesophageal fistula may go undiagnosed in adult patients for many years. In cases of delayed recognition there is a long history of intermittent bouts of cough and choking after swallowing liquid, which may eventually present as recurrent pneumonia, lung abscess, or bronchiectasis. We report a patient with congenit...

Pulmonary sequestration and congenital broncho-esophageal fistula are both rare malformations; nonetheless, in the presence of recurrent pulmonary infection, the possibility that one or the other may be involved should not be disregarded. To our knowledge, the concurrence of intralobar pulmonary sequestration and congenital broncho-esophageal fistula is very rare. Herein, we report a case of in...
