dc.description.abstractENGLISH ABSTRACT: Patients undergoing total hip replacement surgery who developed pulmonary dysfunction (PD) demonstrated evidence of a complement activation and increased thromboxane A2 (TXA2) synthesis. In a double-blind study nifedipine (Adalat; Bayer-Miles) was shown to inhibit complement activation and TXA2 synthesis and thus appears to offer protection against PD.en_ZA
