Pulmonary vasospasm in systemic sclerosis: noninvasive techniques for detection [PDF]

, 2014
In a subgroup of patients with systemic sclerosis (SSc), vasospasm affecting the pulmonary circulation may contribute to worsening respiratory symptoms, including dyspnea.

Percutaneous closure of PFO in patients with reduced oxygen saturation at rest and during exercise : short- and long-term results [PDF]

, 2020
Background. A patent foramen ovale (PFO) is a rare cause of hypoxemia and clinical symptoms of dyspnea. Due to a right-to-left shunt, desaturated blood enters the systemic circulation in a subset of patients resulting in dyspnea and a subsequent ...

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

The inspiratory capacity/total lung capacity ratio as a predictor of survival in an emphysematous phenotype of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. [PDF]

, 2015
BackgroundForced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1) grades severity of COPD and predicts survival. We hypothesize that the inspiratory capacity/total lung capacity (IC/TLC) ratio, a sensitive measure of static lung hyperinflation, may have a ...

Clinico-radiological and pulmonary function assessment of post-COVID-19 patients with respiratory symptoms

Journal of Family Medicine and Primary Care
Background: Respiratory symptoms may persist for several weeks following the initial coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) infection. The aims and objectives were to assess the clinical symptoms, pulmonary functions, and radiological changes and to assess ...

長期間喫煙による気管支唱息,肺気腫の病態的変化 [PDF]

, 2004
The influence of long-term cigarette smoking on the pathophysiology of chronic respiratory diseases with obstructive ventilatory dysfunction was discussed in patients with asthma and pulmonary emphysema (PE). 1.

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.

Connective tissue disease related interstitial lung diseases and idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis: provisional core sets of domains and instruments for use in clinical trials [PDF]

, 2013
Rationale Clinical trial design in interstitial lung diseases (ILDs) has been hampered by lack of consensus on appropriate outcome measures for reliably assessing treatment response.

Value of lung diffusing capacity for nitric oxide in systemic sclerosis

Physiological Reports, 2019
A decreased lung diffusing capacity for carbon monoxide (DLCO) in systemic sclerosis (SSc) is considered to reflect losses of alveolar membrane diffusive conductance for CO (DMCO), due to interstitial lung disease, and/or pulmonary capillary blood volume

Faal Paru Difusi [Lung Diffusion: A Review]

Jurnal Respirasi, 2018
Diffusion capacity is useful for measuring ability of pulmonary microcirculation to transfer oxygen and carbon dioxide from alveoli to capillaries. Physiological examination of diffusion is a continuation of physiological examination of ventilation ...
