Acute lung injury (ALI) and acute respiratory distress syndrome are characterized by protein
rich alveolar edema, reduced lung compliance, and acute severe hypoxemia. A degree of …

Sepsis is a severe complication of critically ill patients that is characterized by the systemic
inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS). The increased levels of B-type natriuretic peptide …

Severe respiratory failure (including acute lung injury and acute respiratory distress
syndrome) caused by 2009 H1N1 influenza infection has been reported worldwide …

Acute lung injury is a general term that describes injurious conditions that can range from
mild interstitial edema to massive inflammatory tissue destruction. This review will cover …

Background: We hypothesized that in acute lung injury (ALI), the volume of pulmonary tissue
with aqueous density, as determined by spiral computed tomography (CT), is associated …

Introduction We recently demonstrated that intravenously infused recombinant human
activated protein C (APC) attenuates ovine lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced lung injury. In …

A prospective, randomised, blinded controlled study was performed to determine the
anaesthetic and cardiorespiratory effects of a constant‐rate infusion (CRI) of alfaxalone in 12 …

Evidence suggests that activated protein C (APC) attenuates acute lung injury (ALI) through
antithrombotic and anti-inflammatory mechanisms. The aim of this study was to determine …

Disturbed alveolar fibrin turnover is a characteristic feature of pneumonia. Inhibitors of
coagulation could exert lung-protective effects via anticoagulant (inhibiting fibrin deposition) …

Introduction This prospective, randomized, controlled, experimental animal study looks at
the effects of recombinant human activated protein C (rhAPC) on global hemodynamics and …
