CONCLUSION: The combined regimens of perinatal medications achieved remarkable survival in very preterm rabbits with lung protective ventilation strategy, offering a unique model in investigation of very preterm birth-associated respiratory physiology and morbidities.

CONCLUSION: Impulse oscillometry is superior in predicting bronchial asthma and its parameters are also more sensitive in accessing treatment response. It can replace spirometry as it is easy to perform and effort independent.

This study aimed to determine optimal mitigation strategies in the event of an aerosolized attack with Bacillus anthracis, a category A bioterrorism agent with a case fatality rate of nearly 100% if inhaled and untreated. To simulate the effect of an anthrax attack, we used a plume dispersion model for Sydney, Australia, accounting for weather conditions. We determined the radius of exposure in different sizes of attack scenarios by spore quantity released per second. Estimations of different...

Background: Acinetobacter baumannii-mediated bacterial pneumonia is a common disease that is harmful to human health. Dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine (DPPC) is the major lipid component of the pulmonary surfactant (PS) found in the alveolar space; the PS helps to keep surface tension low, which allows for improved oxygen delivery. Resveratrol (RE) is a phytoalexin found in plants that is released in response to injury or infection. The therapeutic effect of Re is limited due to its low solubility...
