Respiratory Distress Syndromes: Molecules to Man

Proceedings of a symposium held March 1989, at Vanderbilt U., Nashville, Tennessee. Twenty-two contributions give an overview of neonatal and adult respiratory distress syndromes and address the pathophysiology of injury to the intact lung, mediators of lung injury and repair, responses of lung cells to injury, surfactant metabolism and therapy, and novel therapies (including a report on clinical experience with vitamin A in infants susceptible to bronchopulmonary dysplasia).
