Background The mechanisms underlying airflow obstruction in COPD cannot be distinguished by standard spirometry. We ascertain whether mathematical modeling of airway biomechanical properties, as assessed from spirometry, could provide estimates of ...

High-fiber diets attenuate emphysema development via modulation of gut microbiota and metabolism
Dietary fiber functions as a prebiotic to determine the gut microbe composition. The gut microbiota influences the metabolic functions and immune responses in human health.

Abstract Background A methodology to assess the immune microenvironment (IME) of non‐small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) has not been established, and the prognostic impact of IME factors is not yet clear. Aims This study aimed to assess the IME factors and evaluate their prognostic values. Methods and Results We assessed CD8+ tumor‐infiltrating lymphocyte (

Reversal of emphysema by restoration of pulmonary endothelial cells
We tested the role of endothelial dysfunction in the development of COPD/emphysema. We found that restoration of lung endothelial cells and blockade of endothelial-derived leucine-rich α-2-glycoprotein perturbs the pathogenesis of COPD/emphysema.

Pneumomediastinum and subcutaneous emphysema in COVID-19: barotrauma or lung frailty?
Background In mechanically ventilated acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) patients infected with the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19), we frequently recognised the development of pneumomediastinum and/or subcutaneous emphysema despite ...

Automatic Emphysema Detection using Weakly Labeled HRCT Lung Images [PDF]
A method for automatically quantifying emphysema regions using High-Resolution Computed Tomography (HRCT) scans of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) that does not require manually annotated scans for training is presented.
