Reduced decline of lung diffusing capacity in COPD patients with diabetes and metformin treatment. [PDF]

Sci Rep, 2022
We studied whether in patients with COPD the use of metformin for diabetes treatment was linked to a pattern of lung function decline consistent with the hypothesis of anti-aging effects of metformin.

Dual test gas pulmonary diffusing capacity in patients with idiopathic scoliosis 40 years after diagnosis [PDF]

Experimental Physiology
There is limited knowledge on diffusing capacity in scoliosis patients. It remains to be determined if impaired pulmonary diffusing capacity is mostly influenced by reduced alveolar–capillary membrane diffusing capacity (DM, CO), reduced pulmonary ...

Risk Factors Associated with Impairment in Pulmonary Diffusing Capacity among Patients with Noncystic Fibrosis Bronchiectasis [PDF]

Canadian Respiratory Journal, 2022
This study aims to investigate the risk factors associated with impaired pulmonary diffusing capacity among patients with noncystic fibrosis bronchiectasis (NCFB) and compare the predictive value of several scoring systems for the impairment in these ...

Relationship of Carbon Monoxide Pulmonary Diffusing Capacity to Postoperative Cardiopulmonary Complications in Patients Undergoing Pneumonectomy [PDF]

Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, 2003
This retrospective analytic study evaluated whether abnormal diffusing capacity for carbon monoxide (DLCO) is a predictor of postoperative morbidity and mortality in patients undergoing pneumonectomy for lung cancer.

Lung diffusing capacity for nitric oxide in space: microgravity gas density interactions [PDF]

Frontiers in Physiology, 2023
Introduction: During manned space exploration lung health is threatened by toxic planetary dust and radiation. Thus, tests such as lung diffusing capacity (DL) are likely be used in planetary habitats to monitor lung health. During a DL maneuver the rate

Alveolar-membrane diffusing capacity limits performance in Boston marathon qualifiers. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
PURPOSE: (1) to examine the relation between pulmonary diffusing capacity and marathon finishing time, and (2), to evaluate the accuracy of pulmonary diffusing capacity for nitric oxide (DLNO) in predicting marathon finishing time relative to that of ...

Pulmonary diffusing capacity for carbon monoxide and nitric oxide after COVID‐19: A prospective cohort study (the SECURe study) [PDF]

Experimental Physiology
Many patients exhibit persistently reduced pulmonary diffusing capacity after coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19). In this study, dual test gas diffusing capacity for carbon monoxide and nitric oxide (DL,CO,NO) metrics and their relationship to disease ...

Mapping EQ5D utilities from forced vital capacity and diffusing capacity in fibrotic interstitial lung disease. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2023
ObjectivesFibrotic interstitial lung disease (ILD) includes a large group of conditions that lead to scarring of the lungs. The lack of available 5-level EuroQol 5D (EQ5D) data has limited the ability to conduct economic evaluations in ILD.

The diffusing capacity in adult cystic fibrosis

Respiratory Medicine, 2003
The value of adjusting the diffusing capacity for the lung volume has been demonstrated in a large number of patients with other lung diseases but has not been validated in patients with cystic fibrosis (CF). Pulmonary function test results on a cohort of 52 adult CF patients were analyzed to determine whether the diffusing capacity of carbon monoxide ...

Hyperinflation and reduced diffusing capacity predict prognosis in SCLC: value of extended pre-therapeutic lung function testing [PDF]

Therapeutic Advances in Respiratory Disease, 2023
Background: Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) is characterized by aggressive growth and poor prognosis. Although SCLC affects nearly exclusively heavy smokers and leads to frequent respiratory symptoms, the impact of pre-therapeutic lung function testing in ...
