Objective: To establish evidence-based guidelines for the use of bedside cardiac ultrasound,
echocardiography, in the ICU and equivalent care sites. Methods: Grading of …

Pseudomonas aeruginosa, a γ-proteobacterium, is motile by means of a single polar flagellum
and is chemotactic to a variety of organic compounds and phosphate. P. aeruginosa has …

Inhaled nitric oxide (INO) has been shown to preferentially lower resistance in the pulmonary
vasculature. The relative selectiveness of INO in accomplishing this effect makes it an …

LRP5, along with LRP6 and their Drosophila homolog, Arrow, constitute a novel subclass of
the LDL receptor superfamily. The arrangement of structural motifs in these receptors is …

Purpose We determined whether well-acclimatized humans have a reserve to recruit pulmonary
capillaries in response to exercise at high altitude. Methods At sea level, lung diffusing …

BACKGROUND: Aviation exposes pilots to various occupationally related hazards, including
ionizing radiation and chemical combustion. The possible increased risk of prostate cancer …

We aimed to assess lung fluid balance before and after gradual ascent to 5150 m. Lung
diffusion capacity for carbon monoxide (DLCO), alveolar-capillary membrane conductance (Dm …

ionizing radiation and chemical combustion. The possibility of increased prostate cancer …

While often overlooked by traditional echocardiography, the lungs and evaluation of extrava‐-scular
lung water (EVLW) can be assessed by direct visualization with relatively simple …
