Different KCO and VA combinations exist for the same DLCO value in patients with diffuse parenchymal lung diseases

BMC Pulmonary Medicine, 2015
BackgroundDLCO is the product of the CO transfer coefficient (KCO) by the “accessible” alveolar volume (VA). In theory, the same DLCO may result from various combinations of KCO and VA values, each of which reflect different injury sites and mechanisms ...

Lung diffusing capacity for nitric oxide and carbon monoxide following mild‐to‐severe COVID‐19

Physiological Reports, 2021
A decreased lung diffusing capacity for carbon monoxide (DLCO) has been reported in a variable proportion of subjects over the first 3 months of recovery from severe coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19).

Sphingosine‐1‐Phosphate Receptor Modulators for the Treatment of Ulcerative Colitis: A Narrative Review Focusing on Safety

United European Gastroenterology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Ulcerative colitis is a chronic immune‐mediated inflammatory disease of the colon that causes considerable morbidity and increases the risk of colorectal cancer. Several targeted therapies have been developed for moderate‐to‐severe ulcerative colitis, significantly improving its management.

FVC/DLCO identifies pulmonary hypertension and predicts 5-year all-cause mortality in patients with COPD

European Journal of Medical Research, 2023
Background Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a common complication of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). However, it is unknown whether the ratio of forced vital capacity (FVC) to diffusing lung capacity for carbon monoxide (DLCO) can identify PH

Validating DSGE Models Through SVARs Under Imperfect Information

Oxford Bulletin of Economics and Statistics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We study the ability of SVARs to match impulse responses of a well‐established DSGE model where the information of agents can be imperfect. We derive conditions for the solution of a linearized NK‐DSGE model to be invertible given this information set. In the absence of invertibility, an approximate measure is constructed. An SVAR is estimated

Result of one-year, prospective follow-up of intensive care unit survivors after SARS-CoV-2 pneumonia

Annals of Intensive Care, 2022
Key Points The most interesting findings were that most patients showed an improvement in their DLCO at 3, 6, and 12 months, and all patients but one who normalized their DLCO did not deteriorate afterwards. Only 11% of patients had persistent impairment

Objective Effects and Patient Preferences for Ambulatory Oxygen in Fibrotic Interstitial Lung Disease With Isolated Exertional Hypoxaemia: A Placebo‐Controlled 6‐Minute Walk Test Study

Respirology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background and Objective The available evidence on the effects of ambulatory oxygen on exercise impairment in patients with fibrotic interstitial lung diseases (F‐ILD) is of limited quality. Methods We conducted a randomised, double‐blind, placebo‐controlled crossover trial with 32 normoxaemic F‐ILD patients, desaturating to ≤ 88% during a ...

Relations between vital capacity, CO diffusion capacity and computed tomographic findings of former asbestos-exposed patients: a cross-sectional study

Journal of Occupational Medicine and Toxicology, 2020
Background Asbestos-related lung diseases are one of the leading diagnoses of the recognized occupational diseases in Germany, both in terms of their number and their socio-economic costs. The aim of this study was to determine whether pulmonary function

Add‐On Dextromethorphan Improves the Effects of Pirfenidone in Bleomycin‐Treated Mice and Patients With Pulmonary Fibrosis

Respirology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background and Objective Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis is a progressive interstitial lung disease characterised by excessive activation of myofibroblasts. However, currently available antifibrotic drugs exhibit limited efficacy. The dysregulation of redox processes plays a significant role in the pathogenesis of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis ...
