Impact of HIV and antiretroviral drug exposure on lung growth and function over 2 years in an African Birth Cohort

HIV exposure is associated with altered lung function in early life, with a vulnerable HIV-exposed uninfected subgroup based on maternal disease severity

Soy Biodiesel Exhaust is More Toxic than Mineral Diesel Exhaust in Primary Human Airway Epithelial Cells

Exposure to biodiesel exhaust resulted in significantly greater cell death and a greater release of immune mediators compared to both air controls and ULSD exhaust

Understanding acute burn injury as a chronic disease

The review will outline evidence of long-term health effects, possible mechanisms linking burn injury to long-term health and current research into burns as a chronic disease

The role and therapeutic implications of T cells in cancer of the lung

Single-breath washout and association with structural lung disease in children with cystic fibrosis

Acinar ventilation inhomogeneity measured by single-breath washout was not associated with structural lung disease on CT

Elastase Exocytosis by Airway Neutrophils Associates with Early Lung Damage in Cystic Fibrosis Children

Protease elastase exocytosis by airway neutrophils occurs in all cystic fibrosis children, and its cellular measure correlates with early lung damage

Maternal exposure to indoor air pollution and birth outcomes

Although formaldehyde concentrations were very low, this finding is consistent with other studies of formaldehyde and poor birth outcomes
