This report describes a case of fatal pneumonitis with alveolar-capillary block in a patient who had been exposed to a disease of cattle known to be caused by an agent of the bedsonia group.
Alveolar capillary dysplasia with misalignment of the pulmonary veins (ACD/MPV) is a rare and lethal cause of refractory pulmonary hypertension of the newborn. We describe the clinical course of a ...
Alveolar capillary dysplasia is a rare and fatal disease of newborn infants. Here we describe a patient with alveolar capillary dysplasia, multiple congenital anomalies, a novel genetic mutation ...
Both may be dismissed since alveolar-capillary block sufficient to cause the observed carbon dioxide retention is incompatible with sufficient oxygen exchange to maintain life, and there is no ...
Using a previously developed microfluidic human Lung Alveolus Chip lined by human lung alveolar epithelial cells interfaced with lung capillary cells to recreate the alveolar-capillary interface ...
Blood clotting (thrombosis) in the capillary vessels of the lungs is one of the first consequences of severe COVID-19, even preceding the respiratory distress caused by diffuse alveolar damage ...
UCLA researchers have successfully grown miniature lungs from stem cells—complete with their own functioning blood vessel ...
Glucan-mediated trained immunity activates alveolar macrophages which exacerbates acute lung injury induced by LPS.
A rare, deadly developmental disorder of the lungs called alveolar capillary dysplasia with misalignment of pulmonary veins (ACD/MPV) that usually kills the infants born with it within the first ...
Now, researchers say they have built a realistic model of the alveolar-capillary boundary, using real human lung and vascular cells to simulate the life-like interaction of two different organ ...
