Spirometry at diagnosis and overall survival in non‐small cell lung cancer patients

Cancer Medicine, Volume 11, Issue 24, Page 4796-4805, December 2022., 2022
Lung function has been associated with in‐hospital mortality following lung cancer surgery but the predictive role of lung function in long‐term survival of NSCLC patients remains unclear. Our analyses, based on a large lung cancer cohort, revealed that NSCLC patients with lower spirometry function at diagnosis were associated with worse overall ...

intrapartum treatment procedure in two fetuses with airway obstruction [PDF]

Obstetrics & Gynecology Science, 2018
The ex utero intrapartum treatment (EXIT) procedure was introduced to reduce fetal hypoxic damage while establishing an airway in fetuses with upper and lower airway obstruction.

The comparison of spectral analyses and flow features in upper airways with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) between successful and failed surgeries [PDF]

arXiv, 2020
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a common sleep disorder and widening the upper airway is often used in clinical practice. However, the success rate of this surgery is limited; the failed surgery would even make the situation worse, indicating the widened airway is not the unique criterion to evaluate the breathing quality.

Automatic airway segmentation from Computed Tomography using robust and efficient 3-D convolutional neural networks [PDF]

arXiv, 2021
This paper presents a fully automatic and end-to-end optimised airway segmentation method for thoracic computed tomography, based on the U-Net architecture. We use a simple and low-memory 3D U-Net as backbone, which allows the method to process large 3D image patches, often comprising full lungs, in a single pass through the network.

AAVR Expression is Essential for AAV Vector Transduction in Sensory Hair Cells

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Decreased sensitivity to AAV vector transduction in the outer hair cells (OHCs) of adult mice is primarily attributed to reduction of AAVR (Kiaa0319l; Au040320). Knockout of AAVR reduces AAV vector transduction efficiency in both inner hair cells (IHCs) and OHCs in neonatal mice.

Late airway obstruction and neutrophil infiltration in sensitized mice after antigen provocation were suppressed by selective and non-selective phosphodiesterase inhibitors

Allergology International, 1997
Suppression of antigen-induced late airway obstruction associated with neutrophilic inflammation by selective and non-selective phosphodiesterase (PDE) inhibitors was investigated in mice.

Airway Tree Modeling Using Dual-channel 3D UNet 3+ with Vesselness Prior [PDF]

arXiv, 2022
The lung airway tree modeling is essential to work for the diagnosis of pulmonary diseases, especially for X-Ray computed tomography (CT). The airway tree modeling on CT images can provide the experts with 3-dimension measurements like wall thickness, etc.

PRMT1 Ablation in Endothelial Cells Causes Endothelial Dysfunction and Aggravates COPD Attributable to Dysregulated NF‐κB Signaling

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study investigates the role of protein arginine methyltransferase 1 (PRMT1) in endothelial cells (ECs) in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Mice with endothelial‐specific PRMT1 deletion develop pulmonary hemorrhage, inflammation, and apoptosis, driven by excessive nuclear factor kappa B activation.

A remote hypertension management program clinical algorithm

Clinical Cardiology, Volume 45, Issue 12, Page 1147-1162, December 2022., 2022
Abstract Introduction Hypertension is the leading risk factor for death, affecting over one billion people worldwide, yet control rates are poor and stagnant. We developed a remote hypertension management program that leverages digitally transmitted home blood pressure (BP) measurements, algorithmic care pathways, and patient–navigator communications ...

Diagnostic accuracy of capnovolumetry for the identification of airway obstruction – results of a diagnostic study in ambulatory care

Respiratory Research, 2019
Background One of the known weaknesses of spirometry is its dependence on patients’ cooperation, which can only partially be alleviated by educational efforts. Therefore, procedures less dependent on cooperation might be of value in clinical practice. We
