Clinical Applications of Electrical Conductivity Imaging Using MRI

Journal of Magnetic Resonance Imaging, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has emerged as a noninvasive technique for probing the electrical properties of biological tissues: electrical conductivity and relative permittivity. This review focuses on the electrical conductivity and provides a comprehensive overview of applications across both low‐ and high‐frequency regimes.

The sensitivity and specificity of the mannitol bronchial challenge test to identify asthma in different populations: a systematic review

Swiss Medical Weekly, 2019
OBJECTIVE Asthma is associated with bronchial hyperresponsiveness, assessed by bronchial provocation tests such as the mannitol test. We aimed to assess the data on sensitivity and specificity of the mannitol test in diagnosing asthma.

PRMT5 Mediates Sepsis‐Associated Lung Injury by Modulating JAK1 Arginine Methylation: A Mechanism Study

The Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Lung injury is a common complication in critical sepsis. PRMT5 is implicated in endothelial inflammation and lung diseases, but its role in sepsis‐associated lung injury remains unclear. This study collected clinical sepsis samples and detected the mRNA expression of PRMT5.

LncRNA NORAD Enhances Inflammatory Injury in Sepsis‐Associated Acute Lung Damage Through miR‐150‐5p/STAT1‐Dependent NF‐κB Activation

The Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Acute lung injury (ALI) is a severe complication of sepsis, yet the role of lncRNA NORAD in its pathogenesis remains unclear. Using LPS‐stimulated BEAS‐2B and HBEC3‐KT cells as well as cecal ligation and puncture (CLP)‐induced ALI models in C57BL/6 mice, we found that NORAD expression was markedly upregulated and promoted cell injury ...

LUNG FUNCTION TESTING IN CHILDREN

Zdravniški Vestnik, 2004
Background. Lung function testing in children above five years old is standardised similarly as is in adult population (1). Nevertheless bronchial provocation testing can be more hazardous since the calibre and reactivity of childhood airway is different.

Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV): A Comprehensive Overview From Basic Biology to Clinical Prevention and Control

Medicinal Research Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is a common virus that causes respiratory infections, posing a serious threat, particularly to infants, the elderly, and individuals with compromised immune systems. As the leading cause of lower respiratory tract infections (LRTIs) in infants, RSV is responsible for millions of cases worldwide each year.

The Impact of Environmental Pollution and Climate Change on Allergic Rhinitis and Lung Diseases

World Journal of Otorhinolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Environmental pollution and climate change seriously affect human health, leading to the onset and exacerbation of chronic respiratory diseases, such as allergic rhinitis and lung diseases. Over the past several decades, increasing air pollution and environmental exposure owing to global urbanization, industrialization, and rapid economic ...

Reactive Infectious Mucocutaneous Eruption (RIME): An Australian Case Series

Australasian Journal of Dermatology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Whilst Reactive Infectious Mucocutaneous Eruption (RIME) displays a low mortality rate, the condition results in significant morbidity and resource allocation, including prolonged hospital admission. As such, early diagnosis and optimisation of treatment is imperative.
