TL;DR: The soluble form of P-selectin in plasma was measured from 19 patients (surviving, 11; deceased, 8) with ALI due to various causes and the clinical significance of this measurement was assessed.

TL;DR: Arterial blood was sampled in resting, unrestrained and undisturbed birds using a remote-controlled sampling device for analysis of PO2, PCO2 and pH at the body temperature of the animal.

TL;DR: In this case, protein leakage and polymorphonuclear leukocyte (PMN) accumulation were observed in the reexpanded lung and plasma level of P-selectin, which mediates adhesion between PMN and endothelium, was elevated.

TL;DR: It is believed that symptoms and physiological derangement were due mainly to bronchiolitis obliterans, and that once the pathophysiological condition had been established following the initial injury, it could be maintained by conservative medical management.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluated the contribution of interleukin-8 (IL-8) to the pathogenesis of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) by studying bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) in eight patients with IPF in the chronically progressive phase, five patients with pneumonia in the subacutely progressive phase and eight patients suffering from sarcoidosis (SAR), and eight control (CTL) subjects.
