Diffusion Lung Capacity of Carbon Monoxide: A Novel Marker of Airways Remodeling in Asthmatic Children?

open access: yesAllergy & Rhinology, 2012
Asthma is universally considered a chronic inflammatory disorder of the airways. Several noninvasive markers, such as exhaled nitric oxide (FeNO) and exhaled breath temperature (PletM), have been proposed to evaluate the degree of airway inflammation and

The effect of selective internal radiation therapy with yttrium-90 resin microspheres on lung carbon monoxide diffusion capacity

open access: yesEJNMMI Research, 2017
Background Selective internal radiation therapy (SIRT) with embolization of branches of the hepatic artery is a valuable therapeutic tool for patients with hepatic malignancies; however, it is also associated with lung injury risk due to shunting ...

Connective tissue disease‐associated interstitial lung disease: an approach to treatment amidst an expanding evidence base

open access: yesInternal Medicine Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Connective tissue disease‐associated interstitial lung disease (CTD‐ILD) comprises a heterogenous group of conditions characterised by immune‐mediated fibro‐inflammatory pulmonary injury. Although the disease course is variable, CTD‐ILD can progress to respiratory failure and thus has a profound impact on morbidity and mortality.

Association between lung function and sleep disorder symptoms in a community‐based multi‐site case‐finding study

open access: yesJournal of Sleep Research, EarlyView.
Summary Obstructive airway disease is associated with sleep disturbances. We aimed to assess the relationship between lung function and sleep disorder symptoms using cross‐sectionally collected data between March 2017 and August 2021 from the Undiagnosed Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease and Asthma Population study, a prospective community‐based ...

Long-term functional course of Sjögren's disease-associated interstitial lung disease

open access: yesERJ Open Research
Background Interstitial lung disease (ILD) is common in primary Sjögren's disease (pSD); its functional course is poorly known. Our aim was to characterise the long-term functional course and prognosis in patients with pSD-ILD.

Relationship between diffusion capacity and small airway abnormality in COPDGene

open access: yesRespiratory Research, 2019
Impaired single breath carbon monoxide diffusing capacity (DLCO) is associated with emphysema. Small airways disease (SAD) may be a precursor lesion to emphysema, but the relationship between SAD and DLCO is undescribed. We hypothesized that in mild COPD,

Dynapenia and Sarcopenia as Risk Factors for Mortality in Interstitial Lung Disease

open access: yesRespirology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background and Objective Fibrotic interstitial lung disease (ILD) is associated with high morbidity and mortality. Patients often exhibit impaired nutritional status and alterations in body composition, such as dynapenia and sarcopenia, which correlate with poor pulmonary function, reduced exercise tolerance and diminished quality of life ...

Pre‐Treatment MMP7 Predicts Progressive Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis in Antifibrotic Treated Patients

open access: yesRespirology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background and Objective Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a chronic progressive lung disease with a poor prognosis. Antifibrotics slow the decline of pulmonary function after 12‐months, but limited studies have examined the role of circulatory biomarkers in antifibrotic treated IPF patients.

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

open access: yesRespirology, 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 ...
