THE absence of fibrinolytic enzyme activity in the A lungs of newborn infants succumbing to hyaline-membrane disease was recently reported.1 This enzyme abnormality was manifested by an inability o ...

FOR many years the fate of the infant with clinical hyaline-membrane disease was considered to be either death in the first 72 to 96 hours after birth or complete recovery within a period of one ...

Plasminogen-activator activity can be manifest in hyaline membrane lungs by adding 2M thiocyanate to the lung homogenates or by extracting the lung tissue with thiocyanate.

Mary Ellen Avery, a pediatrician whose groundbreaking research about the underdeveloped lungs of premature babies was credited with saving hundreds of thousands of newborn lives, died Dec. 4.Dec ...

Hyaline membrane disease, which afflicts many premature babies and kills an estimated 50,000 in the U.S. every year, was little known to laymen until it claimed its most prominent victim, Patrick ...

The early stage of ARDS has been characterized by edema, hyaline membranes, and fibrosis. Non-acute lung injury (non-ALI) of COVID-19 patients includes microthrombi and pulmonary vascular ...

Researchers develop new three-dimensional imaging technique, based on phase contrast x-ray tomography, to visualize tissue damage in severe COVID-19.

Lung tissue of the patients who died early in the acute phase (<1 d) was characterized by extensive loss of alveolar epithelial cells and the formation of hyaline membranes.

When a baby is born prematurely, he is especially susceptible to a breathing difficulty that develops into hyaline membrane disease. The inner linings of the lungs get covered with a membrane that ...

(B) Closer examination reveals characteristic features of diffuse alveolar damage in a subacute, organizing phase with well-formed hyaline membranes lining respiratory bronchioles and alveolar ducts.

Clumps of fibrin sometimes develop within fresh hemorrhage and should not be interpreted as hyaline membranes. In addition, artifactual hemorrhage is often patchy so areas of relatively unaffected ...
