25 Jun 2010
Abstract excerpt
RATIONALE: Ventilator-induced lung injury (VILI) significantly contributes to mortality in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome, the most severe form of acute lung injury. Understanding the molecular basis for response to cyclic stretch (CS) and its derangement during high-volume ventilation is of high priority. OBJECTIVES: To identify specific molecular regulators involved in the development of...
