Predictors of Diffusing Capacity in Children With Sickle Cell Disease: A Longitudinal Study
Frontiers in Pediatrics, 2021 Background: Gas exchange abnormalities in Sickle Cell Disease (SCD) may represent cardiopulmonary deterioration. Identifying predictors of these abnormalities in children with SCD (C-SCD) may help us understand disease progression and develop informed ...

Generative-based Airway and Vessel Morphology Quantification on Chest CT Images [PDF]
, 2020 Accurately and precisely characterizing the morphology of small pulmonary structures from Computed Tomography (CT) images, such as airways and vessels, is becoming of great importance for diagnosis of pulmonary diseases. The smaller conducting airways are the major site of increased airflow resistance in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD ...

Deep learning automated quantification of lung disease in pulmonary hypertension on CT pulmonary angiography: A preliminary clinical study with external validation [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Purpose: Lung disease assessment in precapillary pulmonary hypertension (PH) is essential for appropriate patient management. This study aims to develop an artificial intelligence (AI) deep learning model for lung texture classification in CT Pulmonary Angiography (CTPA), and evaluate its correlation with clinical assessment methods.

Endobronchial Valve Treatment in Emphysema Patients with a Very Low DLCO [PDF]
Respiration, 2020 <b><i>Background:</i></b> For selected patients with severe emphysema, bronchoscopic lung volume reduction with endobronchial valves (EBV) is recognized as an additional treatment option. In most trials investigating EBV treatment, patients with a very low diffusing capacity (DLCO) were excluded from participation.

P267 Dlco predicts disease severity and mortality in bronchiectasis [PDF]
Thorax, 2016 Background Few studies have assessed the role of lung diffusing capacity (DLCO%) in bronchiectasis. We sought to examine the relationship between DLCO% and clinical and radiological variables in a well-defined population of bronchiectasis patients to determine its potential prognostic significance and compare with FEV1%.
