1. Adeno-associated virus for cystic fibrosis gene therapy
Gene therapy is an alternative treatment for genetic lung disease, especially monogenic disorders such as cystic fibrosis. Cystic fibrosis is a severe autosomal recessive disease affecting one in 2500 live births in the white population, caused by mutation of the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR). The disease is classically character

2. Complicações pulmonares relacionadas ao transplante de medula óssea / Pulmonary complications related to bone marrow transplantation
Transplante de medula óssea (TMO) é um procedimento terapêutico que tem como o objetivo a substituição da medula óssea doente por outra saudável. É utilizado em pacientes oncológicos e pode representar a cura da malignidade hematológica ou o resgate da medula óssea para a continuidade do tratamento antineoplásico. No TMO são empregadas drogas co

3. Ventilação mecânica não-invasiva em crianças com insuficiência respiratória aguda: uma revisão sistemática da literatura / Non invasive ventilation for children with acute respiratory failure: a systematic rewiew
INTRODUÇÃO: A ventilação não-invasiva consiste na aplicação de pressão positiva na via aérea do paciente através de máscaras e interfaces sem a utilização de uma cânula intratraqueal. A presença da cânula na traquéia e outros fatores relacionados à ventilação invasiva convencional são responsáveis por diversas complicações. O uso da v

4. Evaluation of the dead-space : tidal volume ratio as a predictor of success in the removal of mechanical ventilation of critically ill children / "Avaliação da relação entre espaço morto e volume corrente como índice preditivo de sucesso na retirada da ventilação mecânica de crianças gravemente enfermas"
O momento ideal para a extubação de crianças graves é ainda difícil de ser avaliado. A razão entre espaço morto e volume corrente (Vd/Vt), como valor preditiva de extubação bem sucedida, já foi testada em adultos e crianças. O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar a eficácia do Vd/Vt, como preditivo do sucesso da extubação, em crianças de uma UT

6. Effects of alternate-day prednisone therapy on respiratory function in myasthenia gravis.
To determine the effects of alternate-day prednisone therapy on respiratory function in myasthenia gravis, eight patients were evaluated during "days on" and "days off" prednisone. The patients were treated with long-term (up to three years), high-single-dose, alternate-day oral prednisone. After patients had been controlled with alternate-day prednisone the

7. Cyclophosphamide pneumonitis.
Cyclophosphamide can rarely cause interstitial pneumonitis and fibrosis. Although it has been reported previously in patients being treated for lymphoma, it occurred in this case in a man under treatment for glomerulonephritis. The temporal sequence of the respiratory insufficiency and the histopathology, when compared to the previous examples in the literat

8. Bilateral abscessed orchiepididymitis associated with sepsis caused by Veillonella parvula and Clostridium perfringens: case report and review of the literature.
Veillonella species is a gram-negative coccus which is part of the anaerobic normal flora in the oral cavity, small intestine, upper respiratory tract, vagina, and urinary tract. The role that this organism plays in infection is not well known, and it is generally associated with other bacteria. We present a case of bilateral abscessed orchiepididymitis asso

9. Surgical management of chronic pulmonary embolism.
Recurrent pulmonary emboli ultimately may produce respiratory insufficiency, severe hypoxemia, and progressive pulmonary hypertension. In many patients this syndrome is silent in its initial phases, and when thrombophlebitis is present it is often unresponsive to anticoagulant therapy. Unless pulmonary embolectomy is undertaken, most of these patients charac

10. Identification of Ehrlichia chaffeensis morulae in cerebrospinal fluid mononuclear cells.
We report a case of ehrlichiosis in a 72-year-old man who developed extreme lethargy, acute renal failure requiring hemodialysis, and respiratory insufficiency requiring intubation. Lumbar puncture performed on the second day of hospitalization revealed significant cellular pleocytosis. Ehrlichia morulae were tentatively identified in mononuclear cells in ro

11. Portable liquid oxygen and exercise ability in severe respiratory disability.
BACKGROUND: The development of portable liquid oxygen systems, capable of delivering high flow rate oxygen for long periods, justifies reassessment of the value of supplemental oxygen to aid exercise tolerance in patients with chronic respiratory insufficiency. The type of exercise test and the low oxygen flow rates previously used may account for the variab
