Investigation of poor predictive factors in extensive stage small cell lung cancer under etoposide‐platinum‐atezolizumab treatment

open access: yesThoracic Cancer, Volume 13, Issue 23, Page 3384-3392, December 2022., 2022
In ES‐SCLC under etoposide‐platinum‐atezolizumab, 6‐month survival was 68.6%. In survival analysis for OS, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), c‐reactive protein (CRP), and forced vital capacity (%) were significant factors. In multivariate analysis for PFS, sex, and LDH were significant. Abstract Background The phase III trial IMpower133 showed that platinum

One‐lung ventilation in obese patients undergoing thoracoscopic lobectomy for lung cancer

open access: yesThoracic Cancer, Volume 14, Issue 3, Page 281-288, January 2023., 2023
What is the best strategy to obtain one‐lung ventilation (OLV) in obese patients scheduled for thoracoscopic lung resections? Double lumen tubes (DLTs), (i.e., Carlens tube, Robertshaw tube etc…) or single‐lumen tube (SLT) with bronchial blockers (i.e., Univent, EZ blockers etc…)?Obese group compared to the control group was associated with: (i) higher

Lung function in relation to six-minute walk test in pulmonary hypertension

open access: yesEuropean Clinical Respiratory Journal, 2020
Background: Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a progressive disorder of the pulmonary circulation, associated with diverse medical conditions. Exercise limitation is the most prominent symptom in PH. Exercise capacity, commonly assessed through a six-minute

Features of transbronchial lung cryobiopsy‐diagnosed fibrotic hypersensitivity pneumonitis

open access: yesThe Clinical Respiratory Journal, Volume 17, Issue 1, Page 50-58, January 2023., 2023
This study describes the clinical and pathological features of fibrotic hypersensitivity pneumonitis diagnosed with transbronchial lung crybiopsy. Usual interstitial pneumonia was the most frequent pathological finding of fibrotic hypersensitivity pneumonitis.

Pulmonary function is a strong predictor of 2‐year overall survival and non‐relapse mortality after allogenic hematopoietic cell transplantation

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Haematology, Volume 110, Issue 1, Page 50-59, January 2023., 2023
Abstract Objectives The purpose of the study was to assess the validity of the hematopoietic cell transplantation‐specific comorbidity index (HCT‐CI) and of pulmonary comorbidity prior to HCT in terms of predicting non‐relapse mortality (NRM) and overall survival (OS).

Predictors of lung function test severity and outcome in systemic sclerosis-associated interstitial lung disease. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2017
Systemic sclerosis-related interstitial lung disease (SSc-ILD) is the leading cause of death in SSc. In this study, we aimed to describe the baseline severity and evolution of forced vital capacity (FVC) and diffusing capacity for carbon monoxide (DLCO ...

Time-based understanding of DLCO and DLNO

open access: yesRespiratory Physiology & Neurobiology, 2016
Capture of CO and NO by blood requires molecules to travel by diffusion from alveolar gas to haemoglobin molecules inside RBCs and then to react. One can attach to these processes two times, a time for diffusion and a time for reaction. This reaction time is known from chemical kinetics and, therefore, constitutes a unique physical clock.
