Journal ArticleDOI

Beta-adrenergic receptor polymorphisms and cardiac graft function in potential organ donors.

TL;DR: No significant associations were found between βAR SNPs and cardiac dysfunction in 364 donors managed from 2007–2008, perhaps due to changes in donor management, lack of power in this validation cohort, or the absence of a true association.
Journal ArticleDOI

326 A Randomized Trial of Nebulized Albuterol To Enhance Resolution of Pulmonary Edema in 506 Brain Dead Organ Donors

TL;DR: The use of controlled DCD lungs is associated with similar clinical outcomes as LTx using BDD donors, and led to decreased incidence of severe PGD in the DCD population.
Journal ArticleDOI

Thrombomodulin is associated with increased mortality and organ failure in mechanically ventilated children with acute respiratory failure: biomarker analysis from a multicenter randomized controlled trial.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors measured plasma sTM levels in pediatric patients with respiratory failure and found that sTM correlated with mortality and other clinical markers of poor outcomes, such as increased extrapulmonary multiorgan failure and oxygenation index (OI).

Pre- and Postnatal Lung Development, Maturation, and Plasticity Distal air space epithelial fluid clearance in near-term rat fetuses is fast and requires endogenous catecholamines

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that rapid rates of net alveolar fluid clearance occur late in gestation in the rat and this clearance is driven by elevations of endogenous epinephrine.
