With the purpose of studying the role of proteinases in the development of ARDS, plasma levels of immunoreactive trypsin (IRT) and amylase were measured in 43 intensive care patients at risk of developing ARDS (22 polytrauma, seven abdominal surgery, four burns, two DIC and eight pancreatitis).

We report 3 patients with polymyositis and the anti-Jo-1 antibody who developed fatal adult respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Other than the presence of the anti-Jo-1 antibody, there were no other consistent clinical features at the onset of disease that were predictive of ARDS development.
We report a case of a patient who developed a fatal adult respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) during treatment with rh granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulating factor (rhGM-CSF) (250 mcg/m2/day s.c.) and low-dose cytosine-arabinoside (Ara-C) (20 mg/ m2/day s.c.). Several mechanisms which might exp
Early identification of patients who will develop the adult respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is important in prognosis, management, and candidate selection for studies that evaluate both pathophysiology and early therapy. The purpose of this study was to improve the accuracy of early prediction
