Emphysema predicts hospitalisation and incident airflow obstruction among older smokers: a prospective cohort study.

PLoS ONE, 2014
BackgroundEmphysema on CT is common in older smokers. We hypothesised that emphysema on CT predicts acute episodes of care for chronic lower respiratory disease among older smokers.Materials and methodsParticipants in a lung cancer screening study age ...

Diagnosis and Monitoring Pathways Using Non‐Invasive Tests in Patients With Alpha‐1 Antitrypsin Deficiency‐Associated Liver Disease: Results From an Expert Delphi Panel

United European Gastroenterology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background and Aims The severe alpha‐1 antitrypsin deficiency (AATD) genotype Pi*ZZ increases the risk of liver disease (AATD‐LD) and lung disease. While non‐invasive tests (NITs) are widely used for fibrosis stage and monitoring of all liver diseases, the consensus for use in AATD‐LD is limited.

Emphysema

, 2020
Emphysema (Greek word meaning to inflate/to blow) is an increase in the size of airspace distal to the terminal bronchiolus, that is, hyperinflation of the alveoli due to the destruction of the gas-exchanging structures: alveolar walls, alveolar ducts, and respiratory bronchioles with coalescence of airspaces into the abnormal, much larger airspaces ...

Brain metastasis in non‐small cell lung cancer: High‐risk factors and predictive models

VIEW, EarlyView.
Artificial intelligence (AI) can integrate of data to predict brain metastases (BM) in non‐small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). AI algorithms are employed to analyze these multifaceted datasets, enabling the identification of complex patterns and correlations that may not be apparent through traditional analytical methods.

Clinical Significance of Bronchodilator Responsiveness Evaluated by Forced Vital Capacity in COPD: SPIROMICS Cohort Analysis. [PDF]

, 2019
ObjectiveBronchodilator responsiveness (BDR) is prevalent in COPD, but its clinical implications remain unclear. We explored the significance of BDR, defined by post-bronchodilator change in FEV1 (BDRFEV1) as a measure reflecting the change in flow and ...

Gastric dilatation secondary to incarceration through a gastrosplenic omental rent in a dog

Veterinary Record Case Reports, EarlyView.
Abstract A 2‐year‐old, entire, female Dogue de Bordeaux presented with inappetence and abdominal distension. Radiographs revealed gastric dilatation and malpositioning. Given the absence of classical signs of gastric dilatation and volvulus, a medical approach was elected. After 24 hours, the dog's condition deteriorated.

Comparison of distinctive models for calculating an interlobar emphysema heterogeneity index in patients prior to endoscopic lung volume reduction [PDF]

, 2017
Background: The degree of interlobar emphysema heterogeneity is thought to play an important role in the outcome of endoscopic lung volume reduction (ELVR) therapy of patients with advanced COPD.

A persistent hymen resulting in an open cervix but closed pyometra and pyocolpos in a mixed‐breed female domestic dog

Veterinary Record Case Reports, EarlyView.
Abstract A rescued mixed‐breed (Africanis type), entire, female dog, approximately 2 years old, with an unknown history, presented with a prominent perineal swelling between the anus and vulva. Ultrasound identified it as a fluid‐filled structure, and an aspirate revealed an exudate consisting of degenerate neutrophils, bacterial cocci and rods.
