The lectin-like domain of tumor necrosis factor-α increases membrane conductance in microvascular endothelial cells and peritoneal macrophages

TL;DR: It is shown that TNF exerts a pH‐dependent increase in membrane conductance in primary lung microvascular endothelial cells and peritoneal macrophages, and the amiloride sensitivity of the observed activity suggests a binding of TNF to an endogenousion channel rather than channel formation by TNF itself.
Journal ArticleDOI

Soluble Transforming Growth Factor-α Is Present in the Pulmonary Edema Fluid of Patients With Acute Lung Injury

TL;DR: Breathtakingly, biologically relevant concentrations of soluble TGF-alpha are present in the pulmonary edema fluid on day 1 of patients with acute lung injury, a remarkable finding with important implications for the repair and resolution of acute lung Injury.
Journal ArticleDOI

Alveolar liquid clearance is increased by endogenous catecholamines in hemorrhagic shock in rats.

TL;DR: The endogenous release of catecholamines associated with hemorrhagic shock markedly stimulates alveolar fluid clearance by a beta-adrenergic-mediated stimulation of active sodium transport, suggesting a new, previously unrecognized mechanism that may protect against alveolars flooding in the acute phase of hemorrhagicshock.
Journal ArticleDOI

Assessment of Prognosis in Patients With Community-Acquired Pneumonia Who Require Mechanical Ventilation

TL;DR: Based on clinical parameters measured over the first 24 h of mechanical ventilation, this model accurately identified critically ill, mechanically ventilated patients with CAP for whom prolonged intensive care may not be of benefit.
