In 30 septic, edematous intensive care patients a polyneuropathy occurred during treatment of peritonitis, pancreatitis, adult respiratory distress syndrome, or bronchopneumonia; 28 patients developed a complete tetraplegia. We believe this neuropathy to be an important cause of weaning failure. All
Gallibacterium anatis is an opportunistic pathogen, previously associated with deaths in poultry, domestic birds, and occasionally humans. We obtained G. anatis isolates from bronchoalveolar lavage samples of 10 calves with bronchopneumonia unresponsive to antimicrobial therapy. Collected isolates
A 46 years old male alcoholic was admitted with an assumed alcohol withdrawal syndrome accompanied by tonic-clonic seizures. Parenteral nutrition with fructose, sorbitol, xylitol, dextran, hydroxyethylstarch, electrolytes, vitamins and amino acids was undertaken. He died 20 d later due to renal
Guinea pigs, rhesus monkeys and marmosets infected with Legionella pneumophila in small particle aerosols developed an acute fibrinopurulent bronchopneumonia. Changes from 24 hr included exudation into alveoli of protein-rich, often fibrinous fluid and many polymorphonuclear leucocytes (PMN) and
A cross-sectional and controlled clinical trial was conducted in under-5 children to compare the effects of supplementation of five micronutrients (vitamin-A, vitamin C, vitamin E, folic acid and zinc) on the morbidity and on the duration of hospital stay in pneumonia. Data were collected from 1150
Surfactant protein D (SP-D) is a pattern-recognition molecule of the innate immune system that recognizes various microbial surface-specific carbohydrate and lipid patterns. In vitro data has suggested that this binding may lead to increased microbial association with macrophages and dendritic
Quantitative histoenzymatic determination based on early autopsy material was introduced for evaluation of oxidoreductase and hydrolytic enzymes activity in alveolar macrophages (AM) and alveolar epithelial cells (AEC) of the lungs in chronic catarrhal (CC) and chronic purulent (CP) bronchitis with
The carbohydrate binding specificities are different among avian and human influenza A viruses and may affect the tissue tropism and transmission of these viruses. The glycan binding biology for influenza B, however, has not been systematically characterized. Glycan binding specificities of
