It was concluded that BAL ACE is elevated in some ARDS patients, especially those with infectious causes of lung injury, and may reflect endothelial damage or local increase in ACE production in response to sepsis.

Implementing the lateral-horizontal position for 12-24 hours in adult intubated intensive care unit patients is feasible, and the incidence of aspiration of gastric contents seems to be similar to that in the semi-recumbent position.

Screening programs that incorporate NGS are the most comprehensive methods available for accurate diagnosis of alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency, and traditional testing practices have limitations.
Neutrophil elastase-releasing factors in bronchoalveolar lavage from patients with adult respiratory distress syndrome.
Kallikrein-like activity in the BAL from the patients with ARDS was significantly correlated with the number of neutrophils in the Bal, the neutrophil elastase concentration, and the ability of the BAL to releaseElastase from cytochalasin-B-treated neutrophILS, and there was no correlation between these variables and C5a concentration.
