Respiratory tract damage in burns. Case reports and review of the literature.
Two case reports are presented of respiratory tract damage in a bum (RTDB) and the management of the cases is noted. It is suggested that the scarcity of reports in the British literature may in part be due to a lack of awareness of the problem and not entirely due to the rarity of the condition. Patients with burns of the face, especially if sustained in an enclosed space, should be observed f...
متن کاملRespiratory tract burns after aspiration of hot coffee.
We present the fingings in a patient with acute thermal burn to the upper and lower airway who developed mucosal edema followed by patchy areas of granuloma-like lesions in the trachea and bronchi. A four-month follow-up showed resolution of the gross lesions, but functional alterations remained. This patient illustrates the necessity for repeated direct observation and functional evaluation of...
متن کاملNeutrophils and respiratory tract DNA damage and mutagenesis: a review.
Inflammation has been recognized as an important factor in cancer development. For the lung, experimental studies with rats, as well as molecular epidemiological studies in humans, have provided evidence that the influx of neutrophils into the airways may be an important process linking inflammation with carcinogenesis. Currently it is believed that the genotoxic capacity of neutrophils is a cr...
متن کاملThe Role of Leukotrienes in Respiratory Tract and Asthma
Polyunsaturated fatty acids play a role as precursors of biologically active compounds that can act as mediators or modulators of various cell functions. Thus three main groups of derivatives the prostaglandins, the thromboxanes, and recently discovered leukotrienes are formed by oxygenation and further transformation of various polyunsaturated fatty acids of which arachidonic acid plays t...
متن کاملRespiratory Tract Infection 5. Respiratory Tract Infection
In troduc tion For a better understanding of the pathogenic mechanismof infectious diseases it is important to know the molecular basis of how the host responds to microbial pathogens and eliminates them. Recent advances in immunology and molecular biology have led to the discovery of a large number of cytokines and cell surface molecules, which allows us to understand such pathogenic mechanism...
