      Systemic Inflammatory Response Syndrome.
    • Description:xx, 657 p. : ill. ; 24 cm.
    • Series:Lung biology in health and disease ; v. 179.
    • Summary:Showcases the role of apoptosis in the pathogenesis and resolution of lung injury. New data is presented on the potential role of heat-shock proteins in the pathophysiology of acute lung injury, as well as the influence of genetic factors in determining which patients are most susceptible to the development of this condition.
