Hospital admission for COVID-19 pneumonitis – long-term impairment in quality of life and lung function

open access: yesEuropean Clinical Respiratory Journal, 2022
Background and Aim Knowledge of long-term consequences of severe COVID-19 pneumonitis is of outmost importance. Our aim was, therefore, to assess the long-term impact on quality of life and lung function in adults hospitalized with severe COVID-19 ...

Hierarchical stratification of the factors related to exertional dyspnoea and exercise intolerance in male COPD patients

open access: yesAnnals of Medicine, 2022
Background The order and extent of interactions across the factors affecting exertional dyspnoea (ED) and exercise intolerance (EI) in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are not clear.

Lymphangioleiomyomatosis: circulating levels of FGF23 and pulmonary diffusion [PDF]

open access: yesJornal Brasileiro de Pneumologia, 2023
Objective: Lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM) is a rare, destructive disease of the lungs with a limited number of determinants of disease activity, which are a critical need for clinical trials.

The effects of lung volume reduction treatment on diffusing capacity and gas exchange

open access: yesEuropean Respiratory Review, 2020
Lung volume reduction (LVR) treatment in patients with severe emphysema has been shown to have a positive effect on hyperinflation, expiratory flow, exercise capacity and quality of life.

Heterogeneous pattern of differences in respiratory parameters between elderly with either good or poor FEV1

open access: yesBMC Pulmonary Medicine, 2018
Background The relationship of spirometric values to other respiratory and functional parameters in advanced age is not well studied. We assessed this relationship in elderly subjects with either good or poor spirometric parameters to reveal whether ...

Mechanisms of gas transfer impairment utilizing nitric oxide following severe COVID‐19 pneumonitis

open access: yesPhysiological Reports, 2023
Reduced carbon monoxide diffusing capacity (DLCO) is common after recovery from severe COVID‐19 pneumonitis. The extent to which this relates to alveolar membrane dysfunction as opposed to vascular injury is uncertain.

Reference equations for pulmonary diffusing capacity of carbon monoxide and nitric oxide in adult Caucasians

open access: yesEuropean Respiratory Journal, 2018
The aim of this study was to determine reference equations for the combined measurement of diffusing capacity of the lung for carbon monoxide (CO) and nitric oxide (NO) (DLCONO). In addition, we wanted to appeal for consensus regarding methodology of the

Heritability and genome-wide association study of diffusing capacity of the lung

open access: yesEuropean Respiratory Journal, 2018
Although several genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have investigated the genetics of pulmonary ventilatory function, little is known about the genetic factors that influence gas exchange.

Convergence of diffusion with concentrating capacity

open access: yesJournal 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]

open access: yes2011 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
