Study objectives To determine the cumulated incidence and the density of incidence of
systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS), sepsis, severe sepsis, septic shock, and …

Purpose To assess lung magnetic resonance (MR) imaging with a respiratory-gated pointwise
encoding time reduction with radial acquisition (PETRA) sequence at 1.5 T and compare …

Human airway smooth muscle cells (HASMC) secrete fractalkine (FKN), a chemokine the
concentration of which is increased in asthmatic patients. HASMC also induce mast cell …

Background Patients who have experienced severe caustic injury to the gastrointestinal
tract are at high risk of esophageal strictures. Early endoscopy is usually recommended …

Clinical studies with modulators of the Cystic Fibrosis Transmembrane conductance Regulator
(CFTR) protein have demonstrated that functional restoration of the mutated CFTR can …

BACKGROUND: Open-label, parallel-group, international trial comparing aztreonam for
inhalation solution (AZLI) and tobramycin nebulizer solution (TNS) for cystic fibrosis patients with …

Objectives We hypothesized that non-contrast-enhanced PETRA (pointwise encoding time
reduction with radial acquisition) MR (magnetic resonance) sequencing could be an …

Pulmonary artery (PA) hypertension was studied in a chronic hypoxic-pulmonary hypertension
model (7–21 days) in the rat. Increase in PA pressure (measured by catheterism), cardiac …

We previously reported the French real-life experience of 1 year of add-on treatment with
omalizumab in 101 severe allergic asthmatic children (6–18 years), 92 of whom were still …

Lung infections play a critical role in cystic fibrosis (CF) pathogenesis. CF respiratory tract is
now considered to be a polymicrobial niche and advances in high-throughput sequencing …
