Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation bridging to living-donor lobar lung transplantation.
30 Oct 2009 
A 21-year-old man with pulmonary fibrosis and a 27-year-old woman with idiopathic pulmonary hypertension, who were in pulmonary hypertensive crisis, were successfully treated by using venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation, followed by ... Read more...
Elevated circulating stromal-derived factor-1 levels in sickle cell disease.
5 Oct 2009 Inflammation and angiogenesis are of importance in the pathophysiology of sickle cell disease (SCD). Recently, the chemokine stromal-derived factor-1 (SDF-1) has been shown to be a key mediator of angiogenesis and inflammation. In this study we ... Read more...
5 Oct 2009 CONTEXT: Hypoxia is a major cause of pulmonary hypertension in respiratory disease and at high altitude. Recent work has established that the effect of hypoxia on pulmonary arterial pressure may depend on iron status, possibly acting through the ... Read more...
