Pulmonary alveolar proteinosis.

TL;DR: Pulmonary alveolar proteinosis comprises a group of diseases with different pathogenetic mechanisms but a common outcome — the progressive accumulation ofAlveolar surfactant in the lungs and dysfunction of alveolars macrophages, which result in respiratory failure and increased risk of secondary infections.
Journal ArticleDOI

Targeting GM-CSF in COVID-19 Pneumonia: Rationale and Strategies.

TL;DR: Initial findings from patients with COVID-19 treated with a single intravenous dose of mavrilimumab, a monoclonal antibody binding GM-CSF receptor α, showed oxygenation improvement and shorter hospitalization, will help inform whether blunting the inflammatory signaling provided by the GM- CSF axis in CO VID-19 is beneficial.
Journal ArticleDOI

Subsequent Infections in Survivors of Sepsis: Epidemiology and Outcomes

TL;DR: Critically ill patients who survive sepsis have an increased risk of recurrent infections in the year following their septic episode that is associated with increased mortality.
Journal ArticleDOI

A narrative review: The effects of opioids on sleep disordered breathing in chronic pain patients and methadone maintained patients.

TL;DR: CSA and OSA are common in MMPs and chronic pain patients on opioids, and higher opioid doses appear to be a risk factor for CSA, and to a lesser extent OSA.
Journal ArticleDOI

Molecular and cellular aspects of sepsis-induced immunosuppression.

TL;DR: An overview of the clinical and experimental evidence for sepsis-induced immunosuppression is presented and the mechanisms that underlie this phenotype are outlined.
