Do neutrophils and neutrophil products mediate pulmonary hemodynamic effects of endotoxin on oleic acid-induced lung injury?
Acute respiratory failure is characterized by severe decreases in blood oxygen. The pattern of blood flow within the lungs can contribute to this problem. This study investigated the potential role of white blood cells and their products in mediating abnormal pulmonary blood flow patterns in an experimental animal model of respiratory failure.
The sociodental approach for assessing dental needs for prosthodontic treatment indicated much lower levels of treatment needs than the normative approach. The sociodental approach should be applied to dental workforce planning.
