We did not observe any significant changes in the lung compliance between the saline and elastase groups as we expected to only see a mild emphysema with our treatment. We believe that this might be because of the low dosage that has been administered to the rats (50U per animal). Another...
Emphysematous changes frequently occurred throughout the lung, but inflammation and fibrotic lesions were usually confined to focal areas. The severity of this phenotype varied significantly among individual mice within the same SPC-PDGFB transgenic lineage. A pathology similar to that observed in adult...
Scrub typhus is milder, with less severe vascular changes and only rare thrombosis and necrosis. Acute renal failure may occur.77,78 R. rickettsii, the causative agent of Rocky Mountain spotted fever, is transmitted by the bites of ticks. Small mammals are reservoirs. In the early stage...
The functional and morphological changes that occur in emphysema have largely been attributed to changes in alveolar elastin rather than in collagen. A study was performed to determine whether the amount of collagen in the alveolar wall changes with age in the lungs of non-smokers and of smokers...
Figure 1. Computer tomography scan showing enlarged bilateral kidneys with emphysematous changes within the renal parenchyma. DIAGNOSIS Acute anuric renal failure owing to bilateral emphysematous pyelonephritis. CLINICAL FOLLOW-UP She was admitted to the surgical intensive care unit, and was started on int...
(B). The presence of vasoconstriction elevates TNF-α levels in septic animals (** p < 0.05, Mann–Whitney test, LPS colistin + VA compared to control). 2.4. Signaling Pathways Activated Dot blot analysis of lung homogenates was used to evaluate changes in the metabolism, cell death and...
