Whole-Body versus Local DXA-Scan for the Diagnosis of Osteoporosis in COPD Patients

Journal of Osteoporosis, 2010
Background. Osteoporosis is an extrapulmonary effect of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Diagnosis of osteoporosis is based on BMD measured by DXA-scan. The best location for BMD measurement in COPD has not been determined. Aim of this study

Impact of HACOR Score on Noninvasive Ventilation Failure in Non-COPD Patients with Acute-on-Chronic Respiratory Failure

Canadian Respiratory Journal, 2021
Background. A rating scale that takes into account heart rate, acidosis, consciousness, oxygenation, and respiratory rate (the HACOR score) has been used to predict noninvasive ventilation (NIV) failure in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary ...

Oxygen Therapy in Chronic Respiratory Failure [PDF]

BMJ, 1973
In hypercapnic chronic respiratory failure red cell volume correlates with the arterial oxygen tension during the quiescent phase of the disease. During an acute exacerbation measurement of the red cell volume can give a reasonable index of the arterial oxygen tension existing in the previous quiescent state.

Endoscopic lung volume reduction coil treatment in patients with chronic hypercapnic respiratory failure: an observational study

Therapeutic Advances in Respiratory Disease, 2017
Background: Endoscopic lung volume reduction coil (LVRC) treatment is an option for selected patients with severe emphysema. In the advanced stages, emphysema leads to respiratory failure: hypoxemia and eventually chronic hypercapnic respiratory failure.

Autophagy and mitophagy in pancreatic β‐cell homeostasis and their involvement in diabetes pathophysiology

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This review focuses on the role of autophagy and mitophagy in maintaining pancreatic β‐cell function and homeostasis. We discuss how genetic defects affecting these pathways contribute to the development of type 1, type 2, monogenic, and gestational diabetes. We further explore their potential as therapeutic targets. Created in BioRender.

Respiratory changes during defecation in patients with chronic respiratory failure

, 2004
Oxygen (O2) desaturation may occur in patients affected by respiratory diseases during daily activities, although most of these activities, e.g. walking, washing and cooking, can be avoided or eventually performed with an external aid.

Neutralization of the PTX3/CD44 axis suppresses TGF‐β1 signaling in kidney fibrosis

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This study investigates how the PTX3/CD44 axis promotes kidney fibrosis by activating TGF‐β1 signaling. We demonstrate that the neutralizing antibody WHC‐001 effectively inhibits this pathway, suppressing myofibroblast activation and partial epithelial–mesenchymal transition (EMT).

Respiratory failure: A rare complication of chronic kidney disease mineral and bone disorder

, 2019
Background: Disordered metabolism of bone and minerals is a problem frequently encountered in patients with chronic kidney disease. Early biochemical changes include altered calcium and phosphate balance, while advanced disease produces reduced bone ...
