Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a syndrome of acute respiratory failure
caused by noncardiogenic pulmonary edema. Despite five decades of basic and clinical …

Inflammation is an essential component of several respiratory diseases, such as chronic
obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), asthma and acute respiratory distress syndrome …

Influenza can cause acute lung injury. Because immune responses often play a role,
antivirals may not ensure a successful outcome. To identify pathogenic mechanisms and …

Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) is a severe lung inflammatory disorder with a
30–50% mortality. Sepsis and pneumonia are the leading causes of ARDS. On the cellular …

Highlights What are the main findings? Cardiogenic pulmonary edema is the most common
cause of respiratory failure and results from increased cardiac filling pressure and alveolar …

Permeability edema is a life-threatening complication accompanying acute lung injury (ALI),
severe pneumonia and the acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), which can be …

Critically ill patients with respiratory failure from acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS)
have reduced ability to clear alveolar edema fluid. This reduction in alveolar fluid clearance …

Ion transport is essential for maintenance of transmembranous and transcellular electric
potential, fluid transport and cellular volume. Disturbance of ion transport has been …

Impaired alveolar fluid clearance (AFC) is an important cause of alveolar edema fluid
accumulation in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Alveolar edema …
