TL;DR: This work investigated whether oral care lowers the frequency of pneumonia in institutionalized older people and found that oral care improves the likelihood of avoiding pneumonia in these people.

TL;DR: The findings suggest that the large size of a (GT)n repeat in the HO-1 gene promoter may reduceHO-1 inducibility by reactive oxygen species in cigarette smoke, thereby resulting in the development of CPE.

TL;DR: Although the statement that plain vitamin D is the treatment of choice for vitamin D deficiency is agreed, there is no high-level evidence of which vitamin D metabolites are safer and faster in normalizing sHPTH, and more importantly, the optimal dose of vitamin D3 capable of normalizing rapidly sHP TH is still being discussed and has not been established.

TL;DR: It is shown that LPS, a component of Gram-negative bacterial cell walls, in the lung airways, induces a rapid mobilization of BMPCs into the circulation in mice, and the suppression ofBMPCs by sublethal irradiation before intrapulmonary LPS leads to disruption of tissue structure and emphysema-like changes.
