High Airway‐To‐Vessel Volume Ratio and Visual Bronchiectasis Are Associated With Exacerbations in COPD

Respirology, EarlyView.
This study demonstrated the association between an unbalanced volume ratio of airway to pulmonary blood vessels and shorter time to the first exacerbation in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, complementary to the presence of visually diagnosed bronchiectasis.

Comorbid Conditions in Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis: Recognition and Management. [PDF]

, 2017
Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), a fibrosing interstitial pneumonia of unknown etiology, primarily affects older adults and leads to a progressive decline in lung function and quality of life.

Diffusing capacity as an independent predictor of acute exacerbations in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease

Scientific Reports
A weak correlation between diffusing capacity of the lung for carbon monoxide (DLCO) and emphysema has been reported. This study investigated whether impaired DLCO in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is associated with increased risk of acute

Lobe‐Specific Variability in Postoperative Pulmonary Function in Lung Cancer Patients: A Longitudinal Analysis and Comparison With Traditional Predictive Models

Respirology, EarlyView.
We evaluated lobe‐specific lung function recovery at 6 months after lobectomy in 419 early‐stage NSCLC patients. The surgical approach, right upper lobectomy compared with right lower lobectomy, and reduced postoperative physical activity were associated with poor lung function recovery.

Locomotor muscle dysfunction and rehabilitative exercise training in fibrotic interstitial lung disease: Where are we at and where could we go?

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Exercise limitation is a cardinal feature of fibrotic interstitial lung disease arising from pulmonary gas exchange, respiratory mechanical and cardio‐circulatory abnormalities. More recently, it has been recognized that impairment in locomotor muscle function (e.g., reduced muscle mass/strength or heightened fatigability) might also play a ...

Interpretation of HRCT Scans in the Diagnosis of IPF: Improving Communication Between Pulmonologists and Radiologists. [PDF]

, 2018
Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a progressive fibrosing interstitial lung disease (ILD). In this review, we describe the central role of high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) in the diagnosis of IPF and discuss how communication between ...

Changes in plasma levels of B-type natriuretic peptide with acute exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. [PDF]

, 2014
Background: Elevated plasma B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) levels and their association with heart failure have been reported in subjects with acute exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD).
