Hyperinflation and reduced diffusing capacity predict prognosis in SCLC: value of extended pre-therapeutic lung function testing. [PDF]
Ther Adv Respir Dis, 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 ...

Reduced decline of lung diffusing capacity in COPD patients with diabetes and metformin treatment
Scientific Reports, 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.

Diffusing capacity in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease assessment: A meta-analysis
Chronic Respiratory Disease, 2021 To achieve a multidimensional evaluation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients, the spirometry measures are supplemented by assessment of symptoms, risk of exacerbations, and CT imaging.

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 ...

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 ...
