Project description:We compared differential gene expression in tracheal aspirates collected mechanically ventilated subjects with COVID-19 ARDS to gene expression in tracheal aspirates from: 1) subjects with ARDS from other casues and 2) mechanically ventilated controls without evidence of pulmonary disease.

Project description:Airway comparison in mechanically ventilated children
Project description:Purpose: ATAC-seq was performed on preterm lambs that were ventilated by invasive mechanical ventilation or noninvasive respiratory support utilizing a mask and compared to gestation-age-matched preterm lambs that were not ventilated and naturally delivered term lambs. Methods: Lung chromatin access profiles were generated for: 1) Unventilated preterm lamb, 2) preterm lambs delivered at gd131 and intubated and mechanically ventilated for 3 days, 3) preterm lambs delivered at gd131 and not intubated and resuscitated by placing a face mask over the nose and mouth and controlling O2 delivery via a computer-controlled electronic blower device, 4) unventilated naturally delivered full-term lambs. Results: Using an optimized data analysis workflow, we mapped between 76 and 96 million sequence reads per sample to the sheep genome Conclusions: Our study represents the first detailed analysis of ventilated preterm lung chromatin access, with biologic replicates, generated by ATAC-seq
Project description:In this experiment several sputum samples from mechanically ventilated patients were tested for their antimicrobial activity. The samples were harvested and digested with trypsin and measured by mass spectrometry.
