Fibroblast Senescence in Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis
Aging is an inevitable and complex natural phenomenon due to the increase in age. Cellular senescence means a non-proliferative but viable cellular physiological state. It is the basis of aging, and it exists in the body at any time point.

Objective The aim of this study was to determine whether pollutants such as fire smoke–related particulate matter <2.5 μm (PM2.5) are associated with incident rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and RA‐associated interstitial lung disease (RA‐ILD). Methods This patient–control study used Veterans Affairs (VA) data from October 1, 2009, to December 31, 2018.

CONAN: Complementary Pattern Augmentation for Rare Disease Detection [PDF]
Rare diseases affect hundreds of millions of people worldwide but are hard to detect since they have extremely low prevalence rates (varying from 1/1,000 to 1/200,000 patients) and are massively underdiagnosed. How do we reliably detect rare diseases with such low prevalence rates?

Recent advances in interstitial lung disease research [PDF]
The interstitial lung diseases are a diverse collection of disorders characterized by impaired gas exchange, restricted physiology on lung function testing, and diffuse parenchymal lung infiltrates on radiography.

The role of nailfold capillaroscopy in interstitial lung diseases - Can it differentiate idiopathic cases from collagen tissue disease associated interstitial lung diseases? [PDF]
Introduction: Nailfold capillaroscopy (NFC) is a non-invasive diagnostic test that is mostly used for early diagnosis of collagen tissue diseases (CTDs). We aimed to evaluate whether NFC findings could be a clue for discriminating idiopathic interstitial

Peripheral Biomarker Signatures in Rheumatoid Arthritis‐Associated Interstitial Lung Disease
Objective Rheumatoid arthritis‐associated interstitial lung disease (RA‐ILD) is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality among patients with RA, yet effective risk stratification for RA‐ILD is lacking. We sought to characterize unique peripheral blood biomarker signatures in RA that could improve RA‐ILD discrimination beyond clinical and genetic ...

Features of transbronchial lung cryobiopsy‐diagnosed fibrotic hypersensitivity pneumonitis
This study describes the clinical and pathological features of fibrotic hypersensitivity pneumonitis diagnosed with transbronchial lung crybiopsy. Usual interstitial pneumonia was the most frequent pathological finding of fibrotic hypersensitivity pneumonitis.

Thoracic high resolution CT using the modified VetMousetrap (TM) device is a feasible method for diagnosing canine idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis in awake West Highland White Terriers [PDF]
Canine idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis is a chronic, progressive interstitial lung disease particularly prevalent in West Highland White Terriers. In the present prospective pilot study, we evaluated the feasibility of modified VetMousetrap (TM) device in ...

Interleukin-11 is a therapeutic target in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis
Interleukin-11 is important for lung fibroblast activation in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, and its signaling represents a therapeutic target. Targeting IL-11 in lung fibrosis In idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), chronic activation of invasive ...
