Prediction Equations for Pulmonary Diffusing Capacity for Nitric Oxide in Healthy African-American Adults [PDF]
, 2017 Pulmonary diffusing capacity for nitric oxide (DLNO) is a relatively new pulmonary function test to assess gas transfer in the lung. To date, there are no prediction equations made for healthy adult African-American (black) subjects. Thus, the purpose of

Diffusing capacity predicts operative mortality but not long-term survival after resection for lung cancer [PDF]
, 1999 Objectives: We sought to determine whether diffusing capacity influences operative mortality and long-term survival after resection for lung cancer. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the case histories of patients who underwent major resection for ...

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

RITUXIMAB TREATMENT FOR INTERSTITIAL LUNG INJURY IN SCLERODERMA SYSTEMATICA
Научно-практическая ревматология, 2013 Objective: to study the efficiency and tolerance of rituximab (RTM) treatment in patients with scleroderma systematica (SDS) with interstitial lung injury (ILI).Subjects and methods. The trial included 27 patients (26 women and 1 man) (mean age 45.7±13.0

Diffusing capacity of the lung during hypoxia: role of capillary recruitment [PDF]
, 1981 We have used in vivo microscopy to show that airway hypoxia caused pulmonary capillary recruitment. To determine whether the recruited capillaries add to the surface area for gas exchange, we measured the diffusing capacity of the lung for carbon ...
