Rare But Risky: Clinical Impacts of Pneumothorax After Thyroidectomy and Parathyroidectomy

open access: yesThe Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
Postoperative pneumothorax (PPTX) is rare after thyroidectomy or parathyroidectomy, occurring in up to 0.10% of cases. However, it is associated with increased risks of all‐cause mortality, adverse respiratory events, and healthcare utilization rates in up to 1 year after surgery, deeming PPTX as a potential marker of increased postoperative ...

Feasibility and SNR Performance of Hyperpolarized 129Xe Gas Exchange Imaging Using a Balanced SSFP Sequence

open access: yesMagnetic Resonance in Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Purpose To develop a balanced SSFP (bSSFP) sequence for pulmonary 129Xe dissolved‐phase imaging based on a previously described double‐echo sequence facilitating separation into red blood cell and membrane signals, to test its feasibility and compare its SNR performance and imaging results to an analogous FLASH sequence.

A formula for predicting emphysema extent in combined idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis and emphysema

open access: yesRespiratory Research
Background No single pulmonary function test captures the functional effect of emphysema in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). Without experienced radiologists, other methods are needed to determine emphysema extent. Here, we report the development and

Hepatocyte and keratinocyte growth factors and their receptors in human lung emphysema

open access: yesBMC Pulmonary Medicine, 2005
Background Hepatocyte and keratinocyte growth factors are key growth factors in the process of alveolar repair. We hypothesized that excessive alveolar destruction observed in lung emphysema involves impaired expression of hepatocyte and keratinocyte ...

Subcutaneous Emphysema [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Maxillofacial and Oral Surgery, 2011
Subcutaneous emphysema is a potential surgical complication arising due to introduction of air into the facial planes of the connective tissue. presence of air and accompanying inflammation and or infection could prove fatal in immediate post surgical scenario.

The Role of Polyphenols in Respiratory and Gut Health: From the Perspective of Gut‐Lung Axis

open access: yesPhytotherapy Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The gut‐lung axis constitutes a dynamic, multidirectional communication platform between the gastrointestinal and respiratory tracts. Its complexity arises from the integrated crosstalk among the microbiota, immune system, and redox homeostasis, collectively influencing disease susceptibility and progression.

Clinical Outcomes and Acute Exacerbation Incidence in Combined Pulmonary Fibrosis and Emphysema

open access: yesRespirology, EarlyView.
This multicentre prospective study of 1016 patients demonstrated that CPFE, defined as ≥ 5% emphysema on visual CT assessment, identified a high‐risk phenotype with significantly worse 5‐year survival compared to non‐CPFE IIP patients (51.4% vs. 63.1%) and COPD patients (51.4% vs. 84.0%) and higher acute exacerbation incidence, validating international

Sargassum Lung Syndrome: Air Flow Obstruction and Bronchial Inflammation Are Observed After Prolonged Exposure to Sargassum Gas Emissions in the Eastern Caribbean

open access: yesEnvironmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sargassum inundation of Caribbean and American shorelines is a growing environmental hazard. Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) and ammonia (NH3) produced by decomposing Sargassum could be involved in airway obstruction and bronchial inflammation. The study was undertaken to evaluate the effects of exposure to H2S and NH3 gases emitted during Sargassum ...
