CT-defined Emphysema Morphology as a Predictor for Histological Subtypes of Lung Cancer: A Single-center Retrospective Study

Thoracic Research and Practice
OBJECTIVE: Lung cancer and pulmonary emphysema share common risk factors and pathophysiological pathways. Emerging evidence suggests that emphysema morphology, rather than emphysema burden, may influence lung cancer histology.

Attenuation Levels of Lung Fields in Quantitative Computed Tomography Evaluation Are Associated With Overall Survival and the Incidence of Acute Exacerbation in Combined Pulmonary Fibrosis and Emphysema: A Single-Center Retrospective Observational Study. [PDF]

Health Sci Rep
ABSTRACT Background and Aims Combined pulmonary fibrosis and emphysema (CPFE) is characterized by the coexistence of emphysematous lesions and fibrotic interstitial lung disease. We assessed the relationships of quantitative computed tomography (CT)‐derived measures with clinical characteristics and outcomes in CPFE.

Effects of Single and Multiple Dose Tiotropium/Olodaterol in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease on Alveolar Gas Exchange Measured by Hyperpolarized 129Xe MRI

Journal of Magnetic Resonance Imaging, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Long‐acting muscarinic antagonists/long‐acting beta adrenoreceptor agonists lead to lung deflation and improved microvascular perfusion in hyperinflated chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), but with an unclear time course. Purpose To investigate the effect of inhalation of tiotropium/olodaterol (TIO/OLO) on MRI measures of ...

Deubiquitinase USP38 Stabilizes PLK1 Expression to Boost DNA Damage Repair in Ovarian Cancer

The Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Ovarian cancer (OC) is one of the most prevalent and severe gynecological malignant tumors. DNA damage repair (DDR) is essential in maintaining genome stability. This study aims to investigate the effects and mechanisms of USP38 and PLK1 on DNA damage repair and malignant behavior in OC cells.

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

Respiratory 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

BMC 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 ...

Management of post-operative orbital and surgical emphysema

, 2018
Orbital and surgical emphysema are rare complications of thoracic, abdominal, and ophthalmic surgeries. Orbital emphysema is often managed conservatively observing a benign clinical course with spontaneous resolution.

Cervical Inlet Patches in R‐CPD: An Unrecognized Predictor of Treatment Failure

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
This retrospective cohort study identified cervical inlet patches (CIP) in 19.8% of patients undergoing cricopharyngeal botulinum toxin injection for R‐CPD. CIP presence and increasing age independently predicted failure to sustain a long‐term treatment response, suggesting that CIP may be an underrecognized factor in R‐CPD treatment durability ...
