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.

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 ...

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 ...

Pseudoxanthoma Elasticum - Also a Lung Disease? The Respiratory Affection of Patients with Pseudoxanthoma Elasticum. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 BACKGROUND:Pseudoxanthoma elasticum (PXE) is an autosomal-recessive mineralisation disorder caused by loss of function mutations in the ABCC6 Gen. Histological findings and data of an autopsy of a PXE-patient suggest a possible pulmonal calcification. So

Epigenome-wide association study on diffusing capacity of the lung
ERJ Open Research, 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.

Pulmonary Outcomes in Children Born Extremely and Very Preterm at 11 Years of Age
Frontiers in Pediatrics, 2021 Background: There is increasing evidence of prematurity being a risk factor for long-term respiratory outcomes regardless the presence of bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD).Aim: To assess the effect of prematurity on respiratory outcomes in children born ...

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.
