MGH study shows B cell therapy may ease ARDS by reducing lung damage, improving oxygenation, and restoring immune balance in preclinical models.

Patients with COVID-19-related acute respiratory distress syndrome undergoing transplantation had comparable, high survival rates to patients with COVID-19-related pulmonary fibrosis, according to ...

Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a life-threatening pulmonary condition marked by intense inflammation, alveolar ...

Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a life-threatening lung condition. In ARDS, fluid builds up in the alveoli and prevents oxygen from getting to the lungs.

They produce a pulmonary surfactant to inflate the lungs and remove fluid. AEC1 and AEC2 are damaged in ARDS due to COVID-19 or other causes.

ARDS is characterized by excess inflammation and fluid in the lungs. It can be caused by pneumonia, sepsis, and more recently, COVID-19, and often results in patients requiring intensive care and ...

The 2023 paper notes that severe inflammation can cause acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), where the person’s lungs are so damaged that they cannot supply enough oxygen to their organs.

A new Italian study published on the preprint server medRxiv in August 2020 shows that this may not be an adequate explanation, since ARDS is a nonspecific diagnosis. Instead, they say, antemortem ...

But his chest X-rays have shown healthy lungs for months. “This is really a much faster recovery than we see with typical ARDS,” Ingbar told the paper.

In the patients with ARDS, shock (P = .03), sepsis (P =.03) and a sequential organ failure assessment score of 5 (P = .02) were associated with lower fungal diversity.

Severe lung injury may lead to acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). ARDS causes low levels of oxygen in the blood, and people may require mechanical ventilation.
