Nitrofurantoin is a common treatment for urinary tract infections. Acute lung injury resulting from nitrofurantoin is a rare, life-threatening complication with women being at greater risk. Symptoms include respiratory distress with fevers, rash, eosinophilia, and new-onset atrial fibrillation. Treatment includes discontinuing the drug and possibly glucocorticoids for persistent oxygen demand.

Oxidized phospholipid and transcriptomic signatures of THC-related vaping associated lung injury.
Sci Rep

E-cigarette/vaping-associated lung injury (EVALI) is strongly associated with vitamin E acetate and often occurs with concomitant tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) use. To uncover pathways associated with EVALI, we examined cytokines, transcriptomic signatures, and lipidomic profiles in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) from THC-EVALI patients. At a single center, we prospectively enrolled mechanically ventilated patients with EVALI from THC-containing products (N = 4) and patients with non-vaping acute lung injury and airway controls (N = 5).

The sepsis-induced acute lung injury (ALI) still represents one of the leading causes of death in critically ill patients, underscoring the need for novel therapies. Excessive activation of immune cells and damage of reactive oxygen species (ROS) are the main factors that exacerbate lung injury. Here, the multifaceted immunomodulatory nanocomplexes targeting the proinflammatory neutrophilic activation and ROS damage are established.

Acute exacerbations of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (AE-IPF) are the leading cause of mortality among patients with IPF. There is still a lack of effective treatments for AE-IPF, resulting in a hospitalization mortality rate as high as 70%-80%. To reveal the complicated mechanism of AE-IPF, more attention has been paid to its disturbed immune environment, as patients with IPF exhibit deficiencies in pathogen defense due to local immune dysregulation.

Background: In goats, acute and chronic respiratory infections are often characterized by a rapidly progressing clinical course with little opportunity to develop an effective antibiotic therapy.
Aim: This study aimed to identify spp. in pneumonic goats, assess its antibiotic susceptibility, and confirm the molecular phylogenetics of spp.
Factors Associated with Pediatric Drowning-Associated Lung Injury.

December 2024
Division of Emergency Medicine, Department of Pediatrics, Texas Children's Hospital and Baylor College of Medicine, Houston, TX, USA.
Objective: To identify risk factors for clinically-important drowning-associated lung injury (ciDALI) in children.
Study Design: This was a cross-sectional study of children (0 through18 years) who presented to 32 pediatric emergency departments (EDs) from 2010 through 2017. We reviewed demographics, comorbidities, prehospital data, chest radiographs reports, and ED course from emergency medical services, medical, and fatality records.
