Fig. 1: Alveolar monocyte and macrophage subsets are highly diverse in acute hypoxemic respiratory failure. We performed bronchoscopy with bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) on 8 individuals with acute hypoxemic respiratory failure supported with invasive mechanical ventilation (Bronchoscopy 1 = B1). Four ...
Complications were based on secondary ICD-9-CM codes and included 13 complication types: pneumonia, deep vein thrombosis and/or pulmonary embolism, acute renal injury, stroke, myocardial infarction, cardiac arrest, acute respiratory distress syndrome, sepsis, septic shock, mechanical wound failure, ...
Tools and measures for the assessment of severity should be validated and developed; some effort needs to be expended in examining clinical outcome measures, the use of lung function parameters, the quan- tification of severity of acute episodes ("exacerbations") and the use of the amount and ...
The model significantly improved the identification of key events of critical illness such as prolonged hospitalization, supplemental oxygen requirement, acute kidney injury (AKI), and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), beyond those achieved using the more traditional risk factors of age, gender...
the rash spread with facial edema and the fever rose to 104 degrees with malaise. She was re-admitted to the hospital in October 2015. She had a pruritic generalized morbilliform exanthema with edema and jaundice without lymphadenopathy. Her blood tests demonstrated an acute liver failure with ...

At the time of study entry, all the patients were stable and had not had any acute exacerbation at least in the last four weeks prior to study entry. Exclusion criteria were established as follows: age younger than 18 years old, traction bronchiectasis and/or cystic fibrosis. The research ...
Worsening of air quality induced by pollution acutely (same-day) increases the admission rates for acute coronary syndromes, acute decompensated heart failure, and atrial fibrillation [64,65]. Conversely, improvements of air quality reduce the admission rates for the same conditions, as has been ...
