Platypnea-orthodeoxia is an infrequently reported clinical form of position dependent dyspnea and oxygen desaturation. There are several diverse etiologies for this syndrome. This case report of a patient with platypnea-orthodeoxia is the first known presentation of a case secondary to a patent foramen ovale and idiopathic hemidiaphragm paralysis. A major problem with this disease is the clinical recognition of its existence. Full recovery is possible with proper assessment of clinical signs and symptoms, appropriate noninvasive diagnostic tests, and corrective surgery in selective cases.

Lung Neutrophils in the Adult Respiratory Distress Syndrome

American Review of Respiratory Disease (2015)

Jeffrey E. Weiland W. Bruce Davis John F. Holter Jeannette R. Mohammed Paul Dorinsky

Although neutrophils are of pathogenetic importance in various animal models of acute lung injury, their role in the adult respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is unclear. To study the significance of lung neutrophils in this disorder, patients with ARDS (n=11) were evaluated by bronchoalveolar lavage within 24 h of admission to the intensive care unit. Patients with non-ARDS respiratory failure requiring mechanical ventilation (n=4) and normal volunteers (n=12) were also studied. Neutrophils constituted 67.6 ± 9.8% of recovered lavage cells in patients with ARDS compared with only 4.0 ± 2.4% of cells in mechanically ventilated control patients and 0.8 ± 0.2% in normal volunteers (p < 0.005, both comparisons). Furthermore, in patients with ARDS (n=6) evaluated serially by bronchoalveolar lavage at 72−h intervals, neutrophil percentages decreased from 91 ± 3.2% (initial lavage) to 42.8 ± 12% (final lavage) (p < 0.005). Lung neutrophils also predicted the severity of abnormalities in gas exchange and lung p...
