A comparison of pulmonary capillary blood volume and membrane diffusing capacity assessed via two pulmonary diffusing capacity approaches [PDF]
Background The combined measurement of pulmonary diffusing capacity for carbon monoxide (DLCO) and nitric oxide (DLNO) permits the interrogation of pulmonary capillary blood volume (Vc) and membrane diffusing capacity (Dm) from a single-breath hold ...

Symptomatic diffuse pulmonary meningotheliomatosis with persistent diffusing-capacity impairment [PDF]
Diffuse pulmonary meningotheliomatosis (DPM) is an ultrarare diffuse parenchymal lung disease in which pulmonary meningothelial-like nodules produce a miliary radiographic pattern.

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

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

Pseudoxanthoma Elasticum - Also a Lung Disease? The Respiratory Affection of Patients with Pseudoxanthoma Elasticum. [PDF]
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

Pulmonary Outcomes in Children Born Extremely and Very Preterm at 11 Years of Age
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 ...
