One lung ventilation (OLV) often results in trauma to the unventilated contralateral lung. This study aims to evaluate the effects of different OLV regimens on the injury of the unventilated contralateral lung to identify the best conditions for OLV. Forty rabbits were divided into five groups: a...

Galactomannan and (1→3)-β-D-glucan are useful biomarkers of invasive pulmonary aspergillosis (IPA). However, the effects of immunosuppression on levels of galactomannan or (1→3)-β-D-glucan in IPA are not well understood or quantified. We therefore studied the simultaneous levels of galactomannan...
