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

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

A comparison of pulmonary capillary blood volume and membrane diffusing capacity assessed via two pulmonary diffusing capacity approaches [PDF]
ERJ Open ResearchBackground 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 ...

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

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

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

Comparison of lung diffusing capacity in young elite athletes and their counterparts
Pulmonology, 2018 Background The influence of exercise on the pulmonary function is controverse, some studies have reported no sports influence, while the others have found positive correlation.Aim To evaluate and compare the sports influence on pulmonary function ...

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 ...
