A circadian based inflammatory response – implications for respiratory disease and treatment
Sleep Science and Practice, 2017 Circadian clocks regulate the daily timing of many of our physiological, metabolic and biochemical functions. The immune system also displays circadian oscillations in immune cell count, synthesis and cytokine release, clock gene expression in cells and ...

Basilar Predominant Emphysema: Thinking beyond Alpha-1-Antitrypsin Deficiency
Case Reports in Medicine, 2022 Basilar predominant emphysema, or disproportionate emphysematous involvement of the lung bases compared to the apices, is an uncommon radiographic pattern of emphysema traditionally associated with alpha-1-antitrypsin deficiency (AATD). We present a case

BMJ, 2006 Emphysema affects 3.1 million people in the United States alone and causes severe disability and early death in up to 45% of patients.1 Emphysematous destruction of the lung is associated with decreased elastic recoil pressure. As a result, the diseased lung requires less pressure than a normal lung to inflate and, once inflated, exerts less pressure ...
