Third-Day Oxygenation Index is an Excellent Predictor of Survival in Children Mechanically Ventilated for Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to assess the association between oxygenation index (OI) and outcome in children with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS).

Patients And Methods: Patients (age, >30 days) in the pediatric intensive care unit from April 2011 to March 2016 with ARDS and who were mechanically ventilated were included. Patients were divided into two age groups: infants (<12month) and older children.

Effects of subchronic methionine stimulation on oxidative status and morphological changes in the rat ileum.

This study was conducted to explore the effects of sulfur containing amino acids on redox status and morphological parameters in the rat ileum tissue. Male Wistar albino rats were randomly divided into the following groups: Group K (saline (1 ml/day, i.p.

The role of oxidative stress as a risk factor for rupture of posterior inferior cerebellar artery aneurysms.

Cerebral aneurysm affects 2-5% of the population and posterior inferior cerebellar artery (PICA) aneurysms account for 1-3% of all intracranial aneurysms. Oxidative stress is known to contribute to the progression of cerebrovascular disease and it may be increased by inflammation, a key contributor to cerebral aneurysm development and rupture. The aim of this study was to examine the role of overall oxidative stress as a risk factor for rupture of PICA aneurysms.

Subchronic methionine load induces oxidative stress and provokes biochemical and histological changes in the rat liver tissue.

The aim of this study was to assess the effects of L-cysteine (Cys) (7 mg/kg) and N-acetyl-L-cysteine (NAC) (50 mg/kg) in the rat liver caused by subchronic i.p. application of methionine (Met) (0.

Suppression of methionine-induced colon injury of young rats by cysteine and N-acetyl-L-cysteine.

Changes in the methionine metabolism can cause a state called hyperhomocysteinemia, inducing oxidative stress in the gut. The production of free radicals is important in the colon damage caused by methionine. This study aimed at evaluating the effect of the use of L-cysteine and N-acetyl-L-cysteine on the colon morphometry of young rats treated with methionine.
