A nephropathogenic Massachusetts strain of infectious bronchitis virus, designated H13-IB virus, was isolated from the kidneys of broilers in a commercial flock. Respiratory distress, diarrhea, depression, and high mortality were present. Gross renal lesions consisted of pale coloration, mottling,
Inflammation and epithelial damage of the bronchial mucosa are frequently identified in children with bronchial diseases. Nevertheless, until now the quantitative assessment of the epithelial damage has never been studied in relation to clinical or respiratory function or mucus abnormalities.
An echocardiographic study of right ventricular myocardial contractility in 123 patients with chronic obstructive bronchitis (COB) confirmed the suggestion that in COB patients symptoms of right ventricular failure (cyanosis, acrocyanosis, crural edema, dilated liver) may have extracardiac origin.
There's no doubt that chronic obstructive lung disease can have a disastrous impact on the heart's right ventricle--often producing hypertrophy or even failure--but its effects on the left ventricle are less clear. Some researchers speculate that disease of the right ventricle leads to disease of
OBJECTIVE
To explore the role of rigid bronchoscope in the diagnosis and treatment of plastic bronchitis.
METHODS
Various clinical parameters, the key points of operation and postoperative recovery were analyzed in 8 patients with plastic bronchitis treated in Department and ICU using retrospective
Small ring-shaped images, related to 2nd or 3rd bronchial walls are seen in prahilar lung region in 80% of chest Xray films, when a bronchus in seen "end on". This bronchial wall thickening (greater than 0.3 mm) is present in numerous lung diseases such as silicosis, bronchiectasis and pulmonary
OBJECTIVE
To analyze the clinical characteristics of protracted bacterial bronchitis (PBB) in children.
METHODS
The clinical data of patients seen from October, 2010 to March, 2014 in Department of Respiratory Diseases of our hospital were retrospectively analyzed. Inclusion criteria were over 4
A nephropathogenic Massachusetts strain of infectious bronchitis virus (IBV) designated H13-IBV was isolated from the kidneys of commercial broilers. H13-IBV caused respiratory distress, depression, and diarrhea in specific-pathogen-free chickens. Gross renal lesions included pale coloration,
OBJECTIVE
To report the efficacy of nesiritide in treating noncardiogenic pulmonary edema.
METHODS
A 50-year-old African American woman with a complex medical history including morbid obesity, acute bronchitis, obstructive sleep apnea, hypertension, and numerous hospitalizations for volume overload
Avian infectious bronchitis is a serious and highly contagious disease caused by infectious bronchitis virus (IBV). We isolated a highly virulent IBV strain (CK/CH/JS/TAHY) from kidneys of diseased chickens. Phylogenetic analysis based on the S1 gene revealed that CK/CH/JS/TAHY clustered with the
Pro: Children with chronic cough present a diagnostic challenge. Protracted bacterial bronchitis (PBB) is a chronic, persistent bacterial infection of conducting airways defined by the presence of cough for longer than 4 weeks that resolves with antimicrobial therapy and without an alternative
When guinea pigs were exposed to sulfur dioxide (SO2) gas (800 ppm, 2 h), they showed hyperresponsiveness to intravenously administered serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT)). This hyperresponsiveness continued for over 24 h after the exposure to the gas. The degeneration, desquamation of
Mucus is produced by the epithelial cells in the glands, gland ducts, and the cells lining the airway lumen in the lower airways. The chronic cough and sputum production that defines chronic bronchitis is associated with an inflammatory reaction involving this mucus-secreting apparatus. Respiratory
Flexible fiberoptic bronchoscopy has been proven to be an effective tool for the assessment and characterization of airway inflammation. Visual inspection of airways affected by chronic bronchitis discloses an abnormal appearance characterized by erythema, edema, secretions, and friability. It was
In order to characterize intraluminal airway inflammation in subjects with chronic bronchitis, bronchoscopy and bronchoalveolar lavage were performed in 28 subjects with chronic bronchitis with fixed airway obstruction and, for comparison, 15 asymptomatic smokers and 25 normal nonsmoking volunteers.
