Stempeucel® Chronic Low Back Pain

Lungs perform the critical function of supplying oxygen to every cell of the body, and consist of a combined structure of a basic architecture of terminal airways termed terminal bronchioles. The terminal structures are composed of several respiratory cell types including respiratory epithelial cells, endothelial cells, other stromal cells, and alveolar macrophages, as well as other organ-specific cells that commonly occur in the terminal structures of each organ. Therefore, the pathogenesis of ARDS is most simply described as extensive acute injury of a specific kind of respiratory cell directly by various insults, including infectious agents and/or host immune responses, or secondarily by ischemic insults, such as pulmonary thromboembolism or near-drowning. Mortality in COVID-19 infected patients with the inflammatory lung condition ARDS is reported to approach 50% and is associated with older age, co-morbidities such as diabetes, underlying lung disease/cardiovascular disease, higher disease severity and elevated markers of inflammation. In the absence of a proven effective therapy, current management consists of supportive care, including invasive and non-invasive oxygen support and treatment with antibiotics.
