Inflammation lung with

Unphysiologically high levels of NO formed by iNOS expressed in tissues (e.g., liver, stomach, and lung) with chronic inflammation following infections of... 

Pneumonia is inflammation of the lung with consolidation. The cause of the inflammation is infection, which can result from a wide range of organisms. There are five classifications of pneumonia community-acquired, aspiration, hospital-acquired, ventilator-associated, and health care-associated. Patients who develop pneumonia in the outpatient setting and have not been in any health care facilities, which include wound care and hemodialysis clinics, have community-acquired pneumonia (CAP). Aspiration is of either oropharyngeal or gastrointestinal contents. Hospital-acquired pneumonia (HAP) is defined as pneumonia that occurs 48 hours or more after admission.1,2 Ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) requires endotracheal intubation for at least 48 to 72 hours before the onset of... 

Pleural empyema. Accumulation of a liquid inflammation product made up of leukocytes (pus) in a cavity of the lungs. Pleurisy. Inflammation of the pleura, with exudation into its cavity and on its surface. Pneumonia. Inflammation of the lungs with consolidation. 

The oral LD50 value for rat is 5.9 g kg whereas the LC50 is 60 000 ppm (30 min exposure). Acute exposures to butanal vapors induce inflammation of the alveolar and bronchial regions of the lung, with death due to pulmonary edema. Severe irritation of... 

Steroids, which are active following oral ingestion, such as prednisone, prednisolone, and dexamethasone, cause significant systemic immunosuppression, with consequent risks to the health of the patient. Since the inflammation associated with asthma is localized in the lungs, local topical delivery with aerosols has the... 

Pneumonia is inflammation of the lower parts of the lungs with accumulation of fluid in or around the alveoli. It can be caused either by viruses, bacteria and fungi, or by accidental inhalation of food or vomit. 

Pulmonary scanning of gallium 67 citrate is widely used in nuclear medicine departments for the detection of cancers and the active inflammation associated with interstitial lung disease and may also reflect macrophage activity. Tsuchiya et al. (41) demonstrated that the uptake measured by gamma-scintigraphy correlates with the expression of transferrin receptors (TFRs)...
