Animal models of polymicrobial pneumonia
Pneumonia is one of the leading causes of severe and occasionally life-threatening infections. The physiopathology of pneumonia has been extensively studied, providing information for the development of new treatments for this condition. In addition to in vitro research, animal models have been largely used in the field of pneumonia. Several models have been described and have provided a better...
متن کاملAnimal models of ventilator-associated pneumonia.
Animal models are an essential step between "in vitro" testing and clinical studies. Different animal models have been useful for the study of pathophysiology, diagnosis and therapy in ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP). Aspiration has been studied in dog and cat models and bacteriological diagnosis has been evaluated in baboons. Pigs have been used for studying either spontaneous or induced...

First published December 27, 2007; doi:10.1152/ajplung.00330.2007.—Pneumonia is a medical and public health priority, and advances against this disease will require improved knowledge of biological mechanisms. Human pneumonia is modeled with experimental infections of animals, mos...
متن کاملP119: Animal Models of Epilepsy: The Impact of some Chemoconvalsants on Animal Models
We summarize some of the most frequenthly used rodent animal models of temporal lobe epileps and the impact of chemoconvulsants on them. Temporal lobe epilepsy is the most common epilepsy in humans in which seizures spread to the neighboring cortiase and hippocampal neuron loss and other neuropathological take place. Temporal lobe epilepsy and the other form of epilepsy cannot acquired in chini...
متن کاملPolymicrobial community-acquired pneumonia: An emerging entity.
Polymicrobial aetiology in community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) is more common than previously recognized. This growing new entity can influence inflammation, host immunity and disease outcomes in CAP patients. However, the true incidence is complicated to determine and probably underestimated due mainly to many cases going undetected, particularly in the outpatient setting, as the diagnostic yie...
