Quantitative Dual‐Energy CT Perfusion Versus SPECT/CT V/Q Scintigraphy for Preoperative Lung Function Assessment: A Prospective Cohort Study

Journal of Medical Imaging and Radiation Oncology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Accurate preoperative physiological assessment is critical for high‐risk patients undergoing lung resection to predict postoperative lung function. This study compared quantitative dual‐energy CT (DECT) perfusion with SPECT/CT for lobar perfusion mapping in an at‐risk oncological cohort.

Pictorial review of the pulmonary vasculature: from arteries to veins

Insights into Imaging, 2018
Pathology of the pulmonary vasculature involves an impressive array of both congenital and acquired conditions. While some of these disorders are benign, disruption of the pulmonary vasculature is often incompatible with life, making these conditions ...

A rare and fatal respiratory disease: bronchial Dieulafoy’s disease

Therapeutic Advances in Respiratory Disease, 2020
A 66-year-old woman had two severe episodes of massive hemoptysis without any premonitory symptoms, with approximately 400–500 ml blood each time. Bronchoscopic exam revealed a smooth and pulsatile protrusion that was approximately 8–10 mm in diameter ...

Transforming growth factor-beta promotes rhinovirus replication in bronchial epithelial cells by suppressing the innate immune response

, 2012
Rhinovirus (RV) infection is a major cause of asthma exacerbations which may be due to a deficient innate immune response in the bronchial epithelium. We hypothesized that the pleiotropic cytokine, TGF-?, influences interferon (IFN) production by primary

Spectrum of Congenital Malformations in Sex Chromosome Tetrasomies and Pentasomies: A Systematic Review

Andrology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sex chromosome aneuploidies represent a heterogeneous group of chromosomal conditions, in which phenotypic complexity generally increases with the number of supernumerary sex chromosomes. While Turner syndrome and sex chromosome trisomies are relatively well characterized, less is known about congenital malformations in sex chromosome ...
