CO therapy might be a future RT tool
Respiratory Care Weekly, September 20, 2006
Carbon monoxide (CO) at its worst as a fatal pollutant may prevent the onset of certain inflammatory diseases when used in nontoxic doses, according to a report in the September Journal of Experimental Medicine.
Previous research showed that CO provides potent protective effects against organ rejection or blockage of the carotid arteries. New findings from Boston's Beth Israel Deaconess Hospital researchers show that it can also be used to treat and reverse existing disease.
"Our hope is that CO will find a place in the clinic as a therapeutic option for the treatment of disease," said Leo Otterbein, PhD, associate professor of surgery at Harvard Medical School and the article's senior author.
