Increased annexin A1 and A2 levels in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid are associated with resistance to respiratory disease in beef calves
Strategies to control bovine respiratory disease depend on accurate classification of disease risk. An objective method to refine the risk classification of beef calves could be economically beneficial, improve welfare by preventing unexpected disease occurrences, refine and reduce the use of antibiotics in beef production, and facilitate alternative methods of disease control. The objective of...
متن کاملLevel of Nitric Oxide in Bronchoalveolar Lavage Fluid of Asthmatic Mice Model
Background: Asthma is a chronic inflammatory disease with multifactorial and complicated mechanisms. Elevated level of exhaled Nitric Oxide (NO) in asthma and other inflammatory lung diseases has led to many studies examining NO as a potential marker of airway inflammation. Objective: This study was designed to determine the level of NO in Bronchoalveolar Lavage (BAL) fluid during early and l...
متن کاملDiagnostic value of carcinoembryonic antigen in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid of peripheral lung cancer.
767 centesis yielded 2,000 ml of bloody fluid which was positive for malignant mesothelial cells. Needle biopsy ofthe pleura confirmed the diagnosis of malignant mesothelioma. On bronchoscopy the right side was normal, but a lesion in the left upper lobe was found which yielded the diagnosis ofsmall cell carcinoma of lung. Treatment with chemotherapy and radiation resulted in resolution ofthe s...
متن کاملBronchoalveolar lavage as a diagnostic tool.
Bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) provides an important diagnostic tool that can facilitate the diagnosis of various diffuse lung diseases. BAL fluid can be analyzed to determine white blood cell (WBC) profiles and to detect respiratory pathogens. Although BAL is seldom useful as a "stand-alone" diagnostic test for the diagnosis of diffuse infiltrative lung disease, when combined with clinical data ...
متن کاملDifferential diagnostic value of plasma cells in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid.
The aim of this study was to investigate whether the demonstration of plasma cells (PC), which are normally absent in bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid, facilitates differentiation among pulmonary disorders. Initial BAL fluid samples of 1,260 patients were analyzed. In 83 of these, PC were found. Of these 83, 47 were obtained from individuals suffering from extrinsic allergic alveolitis (EAA)....
