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

European 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.

DLNO/DLCO ratio evolution under targeted therapy in patients with pulmonary hypertension

Respiratory Physiology & Neurobiology, 2020
The ratio of the diffusing capacity of the lung for carbon monoxide (DLCO) and for nitric oxide (DLNO) measured simultaneously is modified in patients with precapillary pulmonary hypertension (PH). The potential impact of targeted therapy on the DLCO/DLNO ratio is unknown. Simultaneous measurements of DLNO and DLCO were performed at baseline, 3-4 month

Long-term functional course of Sjögren's disease-associated interstitial lung disease

ERJ Open Research
Background Interstitial lung disease (ILD) is common in primary Sjögren's disease (pSD); its functional course is poorly known. Our aim was to characterise the long-term functional course and prognosis in patients with pSD-ILD.

Diffusion Lung Capacity of Carbon Monoxide: A Novel Marker of Airways Remodeling in Asthmatic Children?

Allergy & Rhinology, 2012
Asthma is universally considered a chronic inflammatory disorder of the airways. Several noninvasive markers, such as exhaled nitric oxide (FeNO) and exhaled breath temperature (PletM), have been proposed to evaluate the degree of airway inflammation and
