Transfusion-related acute lung injury in the critically ill: prospective nested case-control study.

abstract：RATIONALE:Patients of Hispanic origin with cystic fibrosis (CF) are the largest growing minority, representing 8.5% of patients with CF in the United States. No national survival analysis of this group has ever been undertaken. OBJECTIVES:We aimed to determine whether Hispanic ethnicity within the CF population is ass...

abstract：:Infection of the cystic fibrosis (CF) airways elicits an exaggerated, interleukin-8 (IL-8) mediated, neutrophil inflammatory response. Necrosing neutrophils release DNA and actin into the airways, increasing the viscoelasticity of airway secretions. Mucolytics aim to improve airway clearance by reducing this viscoelas...
