Quantitative CT: Associations between Emphysema, Airway Wall Thickness and Body Composition in COPD
Pulmonary Medicine, 2011 The objective of the present study was to determine the association between CT phenotypes—emphysema by low attenuation area and bronchitis by airway wall thickness—and body composition parameters in a large cohort of subjects with and without COPD.

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

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.

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.

Respirology (Carlton South. Print), 2019 Patients with chronic respiratory failure are increasingly managed with domiciliary non‐invasive ventilation (NIV). There may be limited ability to provide NIV titration for these complex patients, and ventilatory requirements and upper airway support ...

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background Secretory phospholipase A2 (sPLA2) is an inflammatory mediator linked to acute chest syndrome (ACS) in sickle cell disease (SCD), a serious complication that can develop during an acute vaso‐occlusive pain episode (VOE). Plasma sPLA2 levels have been proposed as a potential biomarker for predicting ACS onset.

Non-invasive Mechanic Ventilation During the “Weaning
Türk Yoğun Bakim Derneği Dergisi, 2016 SUMMARY Weaning of the patients from mechanical ventilation is a clinically important subject. Recently, applications of non-invasive mechanic ventilation (NIV) are increasing in post extubation respiratory failure.

Therapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background Therapeutic apheresis (TA) is an established treatment modality for hematologic, neurologic, and immunologic disorders, yet access remains severely limited in sub‐Saharan Africa. Donor apheresis, including platelet apheresis collection from healthy donors, represents an important complementary modality supporting blood product ...
