Epigenome-wide association study on diffusing capacity of the lung. [PDF]

ERJ Open Res, 2021
Background: Epigenetics may play an important role in the pathogenesis of lung diseases. However, little is known about the epigenetic factors that influence impaired gas exchange at the lung.

Diffusing Capacity and Mortality in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease. [PDF]

Ann Am Thorac Soc, 2023
Rationale: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) mortality risk is often estimated using the BODE (body mass index, obstruction, dyspnea, exercise capacity) index, including body mass index, forced expiratory volume in 1 second, dyspnea score, and

Changes in lung diffusing capacity of elite artistic swimmers during training [PDF]

, 2021
Artistic swimmers (AS) are exposed to repeated apnoeas in the aquatic environment during high intensity exercise provoking specific physiological responses to training, apnoea, and immersion.

Diffusion capacity of single and interconnected networks

Nature Communications, 2023
AbstractUnderstanding diffusive processes in networks is a significant challenge in complexity science. Networks possess a diffusive potential that depends on their topological configuration, but diffusion also relies on the process and initial conditions.

Convergence of diffusion with concentrating capacity

Journal of Mathematical Analysis and Applications, 1989
AbstractThe diffusion of electric charge on a thin-film dielectric is described by an initial-boundary-value problem for a parabolic partial differential equation on a planar region. Consider the situation where conductivity on a given subregion increases to large values and the corresponding limiting problem has the total capacitance of that subregion

Capacity of discrete molecular diffusion channels [PDF]

2011 IEEE International Symposium on Information Theory Proceedings, 2011
In diffusion-based molecular communications, messages can be conveyed via the variation in the concentration of molecules in the medium. In this paper, we intend to analyze the achievable capacity in transmission of information from one node to another in a diffusion channel. We observe that because of the molecular diffusion in the medium, the channel

The inspiratory capacity/total lung capacity ratio as a predictor of survival in an emphysematous phenotype of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. [PDF]

, 2015
BackgroundForced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1) grades severity of COPD and predicts survival. We hypothesize that the inspiratory capacity/total lung capacity (IC/TLC) ratio, a sensitive measure of static lung hyperinflation, may have a ...

HIV infection is an independent risk factor for decreased 6-minute walk test distance. [PDF]

, 2019
BackgroundAmbulatory function predicts morbidity and mortality and may be influenced by cardiopulmonary dysfunction. Persons living with HIV (PLWH) suffer from a high prevalence of cardiac and pulmonary comorbidities that may contribute to higher risk of

Priming by Chemokines Restricts Lateral Mobility of the Adhesion Receptor LFA-1 and Restores Adhesion to ICAM-1 Nano-Aggregates on Human Mature Dendritic Cells [PDF]

, 2014
LFA-1 is a leukocyte specific β2 integrin that plays a major role in regulating adhesion and migration of different immune cells. Recent data suggest that LFA-1 on mature dendritic cells (mDCs) may function as a chemokine-inducible anchor during homing ...

Innovation in Plant-Greenhouse Interactions and Crop Management [PDF]

, 2008
(Semi)-closed greenhouses allow for better control of climate conditions compared to conventional greenhouses. To make the high investments for such greenhouses economically feasible, substantial yield increases are necessary.
