Does synthetic RGDS peptide attenuate lipopolysaccharide-induced pulmonary inflammation by inhibiting integrin signaled MAP kinase pathways?
These results suggest that RGDS with high specificity for alphavintegrins attenuates inflammatory cascade during LPS-induced development of acute lung injury.
Anti-D remains the most important allo-antibody causing HDN, regardless of the availability of anti-D immunoglobulin for prophylaxis. Only Rhesus D negative women and those who have clinically significant antibodies need have repeat antibody screens during the rest of the pregnancy. In line with the current policy of screening all patients at booking, the policy on repeats is not clear and was not evident in this study.
