Nanoparticles (particles sized between 1 and 100 nanometers) are more used in all fields of science medicine for their physicochemical properties. As gold has traditionally been considered as chemically inert biocompatible, particular, nanoparticles have established valuable tools several areas biomedical research. But contrast to the multitude studies that addressed clinical use nanoparticles, only little is known about potential toxicological effects such induction inflammatory immune...

Zusammenfassung Die Beurteilung von Patienten mit v. a. einer interstitiellen Lungenerkrankung (ILD) umfasst die klinischer, radiologischer und oft histopathologischer Daten. Da bislang noch keine dezidierten Empfehlungen für Evaluation bei Verdacht auf eine ILD in Deutschland existierten, war es Ziel dieses interdisziplinären Konsensusstatements, praktische Orientierungshilfe den klinischen Alltag Bezug interdisziplinäre Diagnostik der ILDs zu geben. Dazu gehören umfassende...

Environmental tobacco smoke (ETS)-associated particulate matter (PM) has to be seen as an independent health hazard and needs discussed separately from the already well-known toxic carcinogenic compounds contained in cigarette smoke. We believe that brand-specific amounts of PM are public interest should investigated.An automatic environmental emitter was developed placed into a glass-chamber generate reliably possible. Cigarettes were smoked automatically according standardized protocol....

Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is characterized by the increase of mean pulmonary arterial pressure in lung circulation. Despite large number experimental and clinical studies conducted on hypertension, there no comprehensive work that analyzed global research activity PH so far.

Indoor air pollution with harmful particulate matter (PM) is mainly caused by cigarette smoke. Super-Slim-Size-Cigarettes (SSL) are considered a less alternative to King-Size-Cigarettes (KSC) due longer filters and relatively low contents. We ask if “Combined Mainstream Sidestream Smoke” (CMSS)-associated PM levels of SSL lower than KSC thus potentially harmful. concentrations in CMSS (PM10, PM2.5, PM1) measured from four types the brand Vogue, using an...
