Clinical predictors of lung function in patients recovering from mild COVID-19

BMC Pulmonary Medicine, 2022
Background Few studies have assessed lung function in Hispanic subjects recovering from mild COVID-19. Therefore, we examined the prevalence of impaired pulmonary diffusing capacity for carbon monoxide (DLCO) as defined by values below the lower limit of

Diffusing Capacity for Carbon Monoxide Predicts Response to Balloon Pulmonary Angioplasty in Patients With Inoperable Chronic Thromboembolic Pulmonary Hypertension

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2021
Background: The hemodynamic results of balloon pulmonary angioplasty vary among patients with inoperable chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH). Previous studies revealed that microvasculopathy accounted for residual pulmonary hypertension

Serum Type I Interferon Score for Prediction of Clinically Meaningful Disease Progression in Limited Cutaneous Systemic Sclerosis

Arthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Objective To assess the value of serum type I interferon (IFN) score in predicting clinically meaningful progression in limited cutaneous systemic sclerosis (lcSSc) using a novel composite endpoint adopted from the MINIMISE clinical trial. Methods A retrospective, longitudinal lcSSc cohort was identified within a national, multicenter observational ...

Assessing the applicability of the new Global Lung Function Initiative reference values for the diffusing capacity of the lung for carbon monoxide in a large population set.

PLoS ONE, 2021
BackgroundThe single-breath diffusing capacity of the lung for carbon monoxide (DLCO) interpretation needs the comparison of measured values to reference values.

Mucosal‐associated invariant T cells in rheumatic diseases.

Arthritis &Rheumatology, Accepted Article.
Mucosal‐associated invariant T (MAIT) cells are innate‐like T cells defined by their semi‐invariant T cell receptor (TCR) and restriction by the MHC class I‐related molecule (MR1). These cells are primarily activated by microbial‐derived metabolites presented by MR1 or by cytokines. Upon activation, MAIT cells rapidly produce pro‐inflammatory cytokines,

Biomarkers of lung congestion and injury in acute heart failure

ESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 781-789, April 2025.
Abstract Acute heart failure (AHF) classification and management are primarily based on lung congestion and/or hypoperfusion. The quantification of the vascular and tissue lung damage is not standard practice though biomarkers of lung injury may play a relevant role in this context.

Low DLCO in idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension - clinical correlates and prognostic significance.

Pneumonologia i Alergologia Polska, 2016
INTRODUCTION Decreased diffusing capacity of the lung for carbon monoxide (DLCO) is observed in some idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension (IPAH) patients, but its clinical significance is uncertain.

Mono and combination therapies in pulmonary arterial hypertension patients with comorbidities: A COMPERA analysis

ESC Heart Failure, EarlyView.
AIM This analysis provides a comparison of the efficacy of initial mono and combination therapy in patients with PAH and cardiovascular comorbidities or with risk factors of HFpEF (heart failure with preserved ejection fractioin).METHOD Data from the European COMPERA registry were used for a matched pair analysis.

Functional Pulmonary Imaging

Journal of Magnetic Resonance Imaging, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The aging of the world population gave rise to an increased prevalence of many lung diseases, with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease now ranking as the third‐leading cause of death according to the World Health Organization. To diagnose lung disease, a thorough assessment of lung function is essential since it may reveal unique signatures ...

Impaired Respiratory Function as an Auxiliary Marker for Disease Progression in Different Motor Subtypes of Parkinson's Disease

Movement Disorders Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
Abstract Background The mechanisms underlying respiratory function impairments in different motor subtypes of Parkinson's disease (PD) remain poorly understood. Objectives This study aims to elucidate the differences in respiratory function between the two main PD motor subtypes, tremor‐dominant (TD) and postural instability gait difficulty (PIGD), and
