Obesity: Next game changer of allergic airway diseases?

Clinical and Translational Medicine, Volume 15, Issue 5, May 2025.
Obesity affects various aspects of allergic airway diseases, including prevalence, endotypes, clinical features and therapeutic efficacy. Therefore, obesity‐related allergic airway diseases represent a unique class of endotypes and phenotypes, which need much more in‐depth research for tailored treatment.

Quantifying Spatial Distribution of Ventilation Defects in Multiple Pulmonary Diseases With Hyperpolarized 129Xenon MRI

Journal of Magnetic Resonance Imaging, Volume 61, Issue 4, Page 1860-1873, April 2025.
Background Hyperpolarized 129Xe MRI assesses lung ventilation, often using the ventilation defect percentage (VDP). Unlike VDP, defect distribution index (DDI) quantifies spatial clustering of defects. Purpose To quantify spatial distribution of 129Xe ventilation defects using DDI across pulmonary diseases. Study Type Retrospective.

129Xe Image Processing Pipeline: An open‐source, graphical user interface application for the analysis of hyperpolarized 129Xe MRI

Magnetic Resonance in Medicine, Volume 93, Issue 3, Page 1220-1237, March 2025.
Abstract Purpose Hyperpolarized 129Xe MRI presents opportunities to assess regional pulmonary microstructure and function. Ongoing advancements in hardware, sequences, and image processing have helped it become increasingly adopted for both research and clinical use. As the number of applications and users increase, standardization becomes crucial.
