Does intra-amniotic LPS amplify hyperoxia-induced airway hyperreactivity in neonatal rats?
Intra-amniotic LPS amplified postnatal hyperoxia-induced AHR. This was associated with increased airway mast cell degranulation, which has previously been linked with hyperoxia-induced AHR. There were no morphologic changes of parenchyma or airways that would account for the LPS augmentation of hyperoxia-induced AHR.
The present study reports positive LV reshape effects after mitral valve repair with the MitraClip system, showing significant improvements in LV size and function.
