Immunomodulatory roles of surfactant proteins A and D: implications in lung disease.
TL;DR: Emerging studies suggest that SP-A and SP-D function to modulate the immunologic environment of the lung so as to protect the host and, at the same time, modulate an overzealous inflammatory response that could potentially damage the lung and impair gas exchange.
Immunomodulatory Roles of Surfactant Proteins A and D
TL;DR: The role of surface tension at the air-liquid interface of the lung has been recognized as being a critical component in lung immune host defense as mentioned in this paper, and it has been shown that SURFANT proteins (SP)-A and -D are pattern recognition molecules of the collectin family of C-type lectins.

TL;DR: In this paper, older patients who are hospitalized for acute decompensated heart failure have high rates of physical frailty, poor quality of life, delayed recovery, and frequent rehospitaliza...
Journal ArticleDOI
Aerobic exercise attenuates airway inflammatory responses in a mouse model of atopic asthma.
TL;DR: Potential exists for the amelioration of asthma-associated chronic airway inflammation through the use of aerobic exercise training as a non-drug therapeutic modality through modulation of NF-κB activation.

Physical Function, Frailty, Cognition, Depression, and Quality of Life in Hospitalized Adults ≥60 Years With Acute Decompensated Heart Failure With Preserved Versus Reduced Ejection Fraction.
