Mucus Release and Airway Constriction by TMEM16A May Worsen Pathology in Inflammatory Lung Disease [PDF]
International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2021 Activation of the Ca2+ activated Cl− channel TMEM16A is proposed as a treatment in inflammatory airway disease. It is assumed that activation of TMEM16A will induce electrolyte secretion, and thus reduce airway mucus plugging and improve mucociliary clearance.

Circulation, 2005 This case represents typical clinical and hemodynamic features of constrictive pericarditis, but the underlying pathology was epicardial rather than pericardial scarring. The recognition of constrictive epicarditis as distinct from pericarditis is important because the surgical approach is different. An 83-year-old woman was …

Myocardial Fibrosis in Constrictive Pericarditis [PDF]
Circulation, 1973 It has been suggested that a tentative preoperative decision favoring a pericardial lesion, on the one hand, or a myocardial lesion, on the other, may be made from certain noninvasive procedures, including the electrocardiogram. An attempt was therefore made to detect associated myocardial fibrosis by electrocardiogram in 67 patients with constrictive ...
