Crit Care Med 36(6):1803-9 (2008) PMID 18496374

Measurements of extravascular lung water (EVLW) correlate to the degree of pulmonary edema and have substantial prognostic information in critically ill patients. Prior studies using single indicator thermodilution have reported that 21% to 35% of patients with clinical acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) have normal EVLW (

    We challenge the McDE scenario through a direct comparison with real Data, in particular with the luminosity distance of Type Ia supernovae. By Studying the existence and stability conditions of the critical points of the Associated background dynamical system, we select only the cosmologically Cons...

    We reviewed 91 small-sized (≤3 cm) invasive lung adenocarcinomas with a lepidic component to study the histopathologic and clinicopathologic characteristics. In the lepidic component of invasive adenocarcinoma, we have identified a morphologically unique structure characterized by proliferation of...

    We identified a cytosolic NADPH-dependent redox cycling activity in mouse lung epithelial cells as sepiapterin reductase (SPR), an enzyme important for the biosynthesis of tetrahydrobioterin. Human SPR was cloned and characterized. In addition to reducing sepiapterin, SPR mediated chemical redox cyc...
