Bronchiolitis obliterans organizing pneumonia (BOOP), a morbid condition when associated with lung transplant and chronic lung disease, is believed to be a complication of ischemia. Our goal was to develop a simple and reliable model of lung ischemia in the Sprague-Dawley rat that would produce
OBJECTIVE
The purpose of this study is to determine factors, including laboratory data, related to the relapse of bronchiolitis obliterans organizing pneumonia (BOOP).
METHODS
Retrospective study.
METHODS
The medical files of Fukuoka University Hospital and Nishi Fukuoka Hospital patients from 1984
We report a case of BOOP with severe hypoxemia and orthodeoxia. Chest X-ray showed bilateral infiltrative pneumonia and computed tomography scan revealed consolidations on lower lobes. Diagnosis of right-to-left shunt was made on the increase of alveolar-arterial oxygen difference under FIO2 100%,
We studied cells and proteins in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid examined at the First Department of Internal Medicine of Shinshu University Hospital between 1990 and 1994. The samples came from 21 healthy subjects and from 216 patients with various diseases. Lymphocyte counts were abnormally high in
Although bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) is often used in the diagnosis of interstitial lung diseases (ILDs), its importance in investigating, in particular, idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is controversial. The cell distributions in the BAL are taken into account in the clinical routine,
BACKGROUND
Bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) is an established diagnostic tool in interstitial lung diseases. BAL frequently yields findings of diagnostic value and at times even confirmatory diagnostic results.
OBJECTIVE
The present study has been designed to investigate whether the recovery rate
Lung contusion is the leading cause of death from blunt thoracic trauma in adults, but its mechanistic pathophysiology remains unclear. This study uses a recently developed rat model to investigate the evolution of inflammation and injury in isolated lung contusion. Bilateral lung contusion with
