The appearance of a similar pattern of multifocal pulmonary consolidation in four neonates receiving undiluted medium-chain triglyceride oil suggested a cause-and-effect relationship. This was supported by the demonstration in rabbits that the transtracheal injection of MCTO caused severe pneumonia.
The aim of the study is to determine the impact of Chlamydial seropositivity on atherosclerosis in a group of patient requiring coronary and/or carotid revascularization. A population of 30 diabetic patients (group 3) and 26 nondiabetic patients (group 2) with angiographically documented coronary
Lipid nanocapsules (LNCs) are semi-rigid spherical capsules with a triglyceride core that present a promising formulation option for the pulmonary delivery of drugs with poor aqueous solubility. Whilst the biodistribution of LNCs of different size has been studied following intravenous
OBJECTIVE
Pneumocystis pneumonia (PCP) is a severe infection of the immunocompromised host, resulting in diffuse alveolar damage and life-threatening respiratory failure. We analyzed pulmonary surfactant composition and function in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) from ventilated and
Background: Circulating lipids have been implicated as important modulators of immune response and altered lipid levels correlate with the severity of infection. However, long-term prognostic implications of lipid levels regarding future
The development of lipid aspiration pneumonia after chronic nasopharyngeal installation of mineral oil was first described in 1925 by Laughlin. Since that time this entity has been well recognized and numerous substances have been identified or implicated as the aspirated material. The classic
Bacterial sepsis can alter the level of serum lipids in man. We have been to find any reports on lipoproteins in children with pneumonia. The study group comprised 25 children from 9 months to 4 years suffering from severe pneumonia. The initial phase of disease in most of the children involved an
In experimental calf pneumonia induced by inoculations of Pasteurella haemolytica or bovine herpesvirus-1, lipoprotein lipid concentrations and lecithin:cholesterol acyltransferase (LCAT) activity decrease. The purpose of this study was to examine whether similar changes in lipoproteins occur in
A veal calf with chronic pneumonia was characterized by reduced weight gain, feed intake and increased feed/gain ratio. Concentrations of hemoglobin, packed cell volume, red blood cell number and blood plasma levels of iron, albumin, urea, glucose, insulin, insulin-like growth factor-I and
The changes in serum triglycerides, cholesterol and high density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol were followed in patients with pneumonia caused by different bacteria or viruses as well as in those with no defined aetiology. In the acute phase of the disease there was: 1) a fall in serum triglycerides
Some lipid indices were studied in the course of acute bacterial and viral pneumonias in 102 patients, aged from 18 to 45. Statistically significant increase of total lipids, NEFA and EFA was established as well as insignificant increase of triglycerides and significant decrease of
The association between chlamydia pneumonia and coronary artery disease is well documented, however less is known about the correlation between chlamydia pneumonia infection and blood inflammatory markers or lipid levels. In 100 patients with proven coronary artery disease (25 females, 61.0 +/- 4.0
We report the autopsy of a 79-year-old Japanese woman with Dubin-Johnson syndrome accompanied by pneumonia, an abetalipoproteinemia-like lipid profile and acanthocytosis. On admission, physical examination of the patient revealed malnutrition. Blood tests revealed marked inflammatory changes and
The human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is surrounded by a rigid membrane rich in cholesterol. Extraction of cholesterol from the virus envelope reduces its infectivity in vitro. Large amounts of lipid emulsion phospholipids have the property of extracting cholesterol from cell membranes. The purpose
BACKGROUND
Mycoplasma pneumoniae is a bacterium responsible for 15 to 40 % of acute community-acquired pneumonia in children and 20 % of adult cases. Several extrapulmonary manifestations have been reported. We report a rare case of an adult patient suffering from pneumonia associated with an acute
