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

A matter arising: When should inflammatory and autoimmune rheumatic diseases be considered ‘early’?
European Journal of Clinical Investigation, EarlyView.Timely recognition of inflammatory and autoimmune rheumatic diseases (IARDs) is important to optimize the early diagnosis with tailored interventions and possible prevention of irreversible organ damage. This narrative review provides an update by summarizing the advances in identifying the early stages of rheumatoid arthritis, systemic sclerosis and ...

European Journal of Clinical Investigation, EarlyView.Abstract Background Interstitial lung diseases (ILDs) are characterized by progressive fibrosis, in which extracellular matrix remodelling is regulated by matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and their inhibitors (TIMPs). The MMP‐9/TIMP‐1 balance has been implicated in fibrogenesis, but its role in human ILD remains incompletely defined.

Journal of Internal Medicine, EarlyView.Abstract Objectives To assess factors associated with rapidly progressive interstitial lung disease (ILD) (RP‐ILD) at time of ILD diagnosis in a multicentric retrospective cohort study of antisynthetase syndrome (ASyS). We used a complementary unsupervised approach, hierarchical clustering, to delineate distinct phenotypes among ASyS patients with ILD.

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.Abstract Exercise limitation is a cardinal feature of fibrotic interstitial lung disease arising from pulmonary gas exchange, respiratory mechanical and cardio‐circulatory abnormalities. More recently, it has been recognized that impairment in locomotor muscle function (e.g., reduced muscle mass/strength or heightened fatigability) might also play a ...

Interpretation of HRCT Scans in the Diagnosis of IPF: Improving Communication Between Pulmonologists and Radiologists. [PDF]
, 2018 Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a progressive fibrosing interstitial lung disease (ILD). In this review, we describe the central role of high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) in the diagnosis of IPF and discuss how communication between ...
