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 ...

Lung clearance index and diffusion capacity for CO to detect early functional pulmonary impairment in children with rheumatic diseases

Pediatric Rheumatology Online Journal, 2021
Background In adults with rheumatic diseases pulmonary complications are relevant contributors to morbidity and mortality. In these patients diffusion capacity for CO (DLCO) is an established method to detect early pulmonary impairment.

HIV infection is an independent risk factor for decreased 6-minute walk test distance. [PDF]

, 2019
BackgroundAmbulatory function predicts morbidity and mortality and may be influenced by cardiopulmonary dysfunction. Persons living with HIV (PLWH) suffer from a high prevalence of cardiac and pulmonary comorbidities that may contribute to higher risk of

Design and rationale of a multi-center, pragmatic, open-label randomized trial of antimicrobial therapy - the study of clinical efficacy of antimicrobial therapy strategy using pragmatic design in Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (CleanUP-IPF) clinical trial [PDF]

, 2020
Compelling data have linked disease progression in patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) with lung dysbiosis and the resulting dysregulated local and systemic immune response.

DLCO: adjust for lung volume, standardised reporting and interpretation

European Respiratory Journal, 2017
D.C. Johnson proposed that an adjustment of the predicted value for the diffusing capacity of the lung for carbon monoxide (DLCO) based on the measured and predicted lung volume be included in the report of DLCO test results.

A Case Report of Systemic Sclerosis Complicated by Biventricular Heart Failure, Pulmonary Hypertension and Review of Literature [PDF]

, 2017
Background: Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is an autoimmune connective tissue disorder whose aetiology is not fully understood. Skin fibrosis and visceral organs involvement are the hallmarks, and the heart could be disproportionately or subtly involved ...

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

The role of nailfold capillaroscopy in interstitial lung diseases - Can it differentiate idiopathic cases from collagen tissue disease associated interstitial lung diseases? [PDF]

, 2015
Introduction: Nailfold capillaroscopy (NFC) is a non-invasive diagnostic test that is mostly used for early diagnosis of collagen tissue diseases (CTDs). We aimed to evaluate whether NFC findings could be a clue for discriminating idiopathic interstitial
