A case of Gitelman syndrome with severe hyponatraemia and hypophosphataemia.
In this report, we discuss the differential diagnoses and rationale for accepting GS as the most likely diagnosis. This case was complicated by severe hyponatraemia (115 mmol/L) and hypophosphataemia (0.32 mmol/L). We concluded that the syndrome of inappropriate secretion of antidiuretic hormones could not be ruled out and that respiratory alkalosis was the most likely aetiology of hypophosphataemia. This case report also generates an interesting discussion on water and electrolyte metabolism. PMID: 23338926 [PubMed - in process]

Echocardiographic Diagnosis and Transcatheter Occlusion of Pulmonary Arteriovenous Fistula in Cyanotic Newborn
Abstract Pulmonary arteriovenous malformation (PAVM) is a rare cause of cyanosis in newborn. A 12‐day‐old male newborn (2.8 kg) was referred to our hospital with the complaints of cyanosis and respiratory distress. On two‐dimensional echocardiography, the right pulmonary artery (PA) appeared larger than left PA and the left atrium, left ventricle were dilated. The right heart chambers were in normal limits. A color flow Doppler echocardiogram revealed a turbulent flow due to a PAVM originating from medium branch of right PA, and continuous wave Doppler showed continuous flow pattern. Agitated saline injection resul...

Development of respiratory tract from bovine embryos.
Abstract We studied the development of respiratory tract in bovine embryos by light microscopy and transmission electronic microscopy. This process was observed formation of laryngeal-tracheal tube in embryos that present crown-rump (CR) length of 9.0 mm (20/21 days of pregnancy) at around the fourth gestational week; the organ wall appears to be formed of epithelium comprising several cell layers and supported by mesenchyme. Within the lungs, the areas subjacent to epithelium present condensed mesenchyme, while more distal areas loose mesenchyme, in which blood vessels beginn to form, as the organ is in a pseudo-g...

Effects of reduction of inspired oxygen fraction or application of positive end-expiratory pressure after an alveolar recruitment maneuver on respiratory mechanics, gas exchange, and lung aeration in dogs during anesthesia and neuromuscular blockade.
Conclusions and Clinical Relevance-Application of airway pressure of 40 cm H(2)O for 20 seconds followed by Fio(2) reduction to 0.4 or ventilation with PEEP (5 cm H(2)O) was effective in diminishing anesthesia-induced atelectasis and maintaining lung function in dogs, compared with the effects of mechanical ventilation providing an Fio(2) of 1.

Evaluation of the effects of dorsal versus lateral recumbency on the cardiopulmonary system during anesthesia with isoflurane in red-tailed hawks (Buteo jamaicensis).
Conclusions and Clinical Relevance-Differences in tidal volume with similar minute ventilation suggested red-tailed hawks in dorsal recumbency might have lower dead space ventilation. Despite similar minute ventilation in both positions, birds in dorsal recumbency hypoventilated more yet maintained higher Pao(2), suggesting parabronchial ventilatory or pulmonary blood flow distribution changes with position. The results refute the hypothesis that dorsal recumbency compromises ventilation and O(2) transport more than lateral recumbency in red-tailed hawks. PMID: 23270358 [PubMed - in process]

The outlier.
Abstract Amy's excellent home care was the only reason she was doing as well as she was. There was no one better at taking care of Amy than her husband. When she had a respiratory infection, Steve managed the necessary increased suctioning, nebulizer treatments, and ventilator, in addition to all the other intimate personal assistance she needed on a routine basis. Yet by law he could not be paid to be her personal care assistant. After a revolving door of unreliable, inadequate assistants and recurring medical crises, Amy and Steve made the painful decision to divorce so he could quit his job and be paid by the st...

Human rhinoviruses.
Abstract SUMMARY Human rhinoviruses (HRVs), first discovered in the 1950s, are responsible for more than one-half of cold-like illnesses and cost billions of dollars annually in medical visits and missed days of work. Advances in molecular methods have enhanced our understanding of the genomic structure of HRV and have led to the characterization of three genetically distinct HRV groups, designated groups A, B, and C, within the genus Enterovirus and the family Picornaviridae. HRVs are traditionally associated with upper respiratory tract infection, otitis media, and sinusitis. In recent years, the increasing imple...

The burden of Lung Disease: The need for stem cell therapy – A review series prologue
The lung is the largest organ exposed to the environment. It has an alveolar surface area of around 70m2 and comprises a complex series of branches leading to gas exchanging units that are critical to life1. It is a very adaptable organ and exchanges 10,000litres of air/day. In addition, it can increase oxygen consumption from 250ml/min to 5,500ml/min and blood flow from 4 l/min to 40 l/min1. This significant capacity to adapt has conferred an evolutionary survival advantage as we can respond to ventilatory stresses in our “fight or flight” response. The lung has many other roles with host defense being of major import...

The incremental changes made in the definition of ALI/ARDS over the last two decades represent a series of landmark events in the history of the condition. The first description of ARDS (Adult Respiratory Distress Syndrome) established the recognition of this syndrome1; the 1994 AECC (America‐European Consensus Conference) definition set the standard for ALI/ARDS clinical trials2; while the new Berlin definition, which has revised the AECC version, is based on 18 years clinical investigation and mechanism exploration, and as a result is a more precise and practical3 guide for clinical evaluation.

Learning from an epidemiological, population‐based study on prescribed medicine use in adults
ConclusionsIn presenting what we believe is the first Australian population‐based study to compare changes in prescribed medicines across the adult age spectrum, we highlight some key questions to ensure the quality use of medicines. Our findings identify a need to discuss de‐prescribing, monitor practices to minimise adverse events and challenge if consumers and prescribers need to consider the costs to governments of medicines.

Change in sweat chloride as a clinical end point in cystic fibrosis clinical trials: the ivacaftor experience.
Abstract Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a life-shortening inherited disease caused by mutations in the CF transmembrane conductance regulator gene (CFTR), which encodes for the CF transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) ion channel that regulates chloride and water transport across the surface of epithelial cells. Ivacaftor, a drug recently approved by the US Food and Drug Administration, represents the first mutation-specific therapy for CF. It is a CFTR channel modulator and improves CFTR function in patients with CF who have a G551D mutation. A clinical trial performed to support ivacaftor dose selection demonstrate...

The Influence of Cigarette Smoking on Viral Infections: Translating Bench Science to Impact COPD Pathogenesis and Acute Exacerbations of COPD Clinically.
Abstract COPD is a complex syndrome that poses a serious health threat to >1.1 billion smokers worldwide. The stable disease is punctuated by episodes of acute exacerbation, which are predominantly the result of viral and bacterial infections. Despite their devastating health impact, mechanisms underlying disease exacerbations remain poorly understood. Mounting evidence suggests that cigarette smoke profoundly affects the immune system, compromising the host's ability to mount appropriate immune and inflammatory responses against microbial agents. This review highlights recent advances in our understanding o...

Cystic fibrosis therapeutics: the road ahead.
Abstract A great deal of excitement and hope has followed the successful trials and US Food and Drug Administration approval of the drug ivacaftor (Kalydeco), the first therapy available that targets the underlying defect that causes cystic fibrosis (CF). Although this drug has currently demonstrated a clinical benefit for a small minority of the CF population, the developmental pathway established by ivacaftor paves the way for other CF transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) modulators that may benefit many more patients. In addition to investigating CFTR modulators, researchers are actively developing numerou...

Staffing in ICUs: Physicians and Alternative Staffing Models.
Abstract The evidence regarding physician staffing of ICUs does not yet provide a consistent view of the best model to use. Most studies have significant limitations, and this subject is complicated by the fact that optimal ICU staffing may depend on ICU characteristics. The topic with the most data regarding patient outcomes is the intensity of intensivist involvement in care, particularly the value of closed- vs open-model ICUs; however, the evidence is inconsistent here as well. Even if closed-model ICUs produce better outcomes, we do not know which specific elements of that multifaceted organizational paradigm ...

Five myths of medical malpractice.
Abstract We identify five myths of medical malpractice that have wide currency in medical circles. The myths are as follows: (1) Malpractice crises are caused by spikes in medical malpractice litigation (ie, sudden rises in payouts and claim frequency), (2) the tort system delivers "jackpot justice," (3) physicians are one malpractice verdict away from bankruptcy, (4) physicians move to states that adopt damages caps, and (5) tort reform will lower health-care spending dramatically. We test each assertion against the available empirical evidence on the subject and conclude by identifying various nonmythical problem...

Bronchoscopic removal of a large intracavitary pulmonary aspergilloma.
We present the case of a 63-year-old woman with a large aspergilloma, unfit for surgery due to medical reasons. The aspergilloma was enlarging, with progression of the patient's symptoms of anorexia, cough, chest discomfort, and hemoptysis.
