TL;DR: It is shown that clopidogrel suppressed endotoxin-induced up-regulation of inflammation-relevant genes, including arachidonate-5-lipoxygenase activating protein and leukotriene B4 receptor 1, which could lead to a possible benefit of anti-platelet drugs in patients on risk for systemic inflammation and organ failure.

TL;DR: Transplanted EPC may play an important role in reestablishing the endothelial integrity in vessels after severe injury or at inflamatory sites and might further contribute to vascular repair or wound healing processes in severely damaged tissue.

TL;DR: It is suggested that this form of interstitial lung disease apparently has a poor response to steroids and cytotoxic drugs, but may respond to moderate doses of cyclosporine and azathioprine in addition to low doses of steroids.

TL;DR: This review gives an interdisciplinary overview of the pathophysiology, etiology, clinical manifestations, diagnosis, and treatment of malignant SVCS.

TL;DR: Evaluation of bone mass and prevention of bone loss should be considered early before lung transplantation, and the efficacy of antiresorptive drugs on the prevention of accelerated bone loss and vertebral fractures after transplantation is needed.
