Physical Review Letters v 96, 128101 (2006), 2005
Although models of branching in arterial and bronchial trees often predict a dependence of bifurcation parameters on the scale of the bifurcating vessels, direct verifications of this dependence with data are uncommon. We compare measurements of bifurcation parameters in airways and arterial trees of different mammals as a function of scale to general ...

Can HRCT be used as a marker of airway remodelling in children with difficult asthma? [PDF]

, 2006
BACKGROUND: Whole airway wall thickening on high resolution computed tomography (HRCT) is reported to parallel thickening of the bronchial epithelial reticular basement membrane (RBM) in adult asthmatics. A similar relationship in children with difficult

Night‐Time Chronotherapy with Methylprednisolone Prevents an Acute Rejection in Pediatric Patients with Liver Transplantation: A Randomized Clinical Trial

Clinical Pharmacology &Therapeutics, EarlyView.
Concept of methylprednisolone chronotherapy to prevent acute rejections. While endogenous cortisol secretion rises in the early morning, the number of lymphocytes in the blood is higher at night, thus exhibiting an antiphase pattern to cortisol secretion. Therefore, compared with the daytime, the infiltration of lymphocytes into immune‐reactive tissues

Association of COPD with adverse outcomes in heart failure patients with preserved ejection fraction

ESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 799-808, April 2025.
Abstract We performed a systematic review and meta‐analysis to detect the impact of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) on the prognosis of heart failure patients with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). We systematically screened eligible literature from three electronic databases, PubMed, EMBASE and Cochrane Library, up to April 2023.
