Ambulatory oxygen in fibrotic lung disease (AmbOx): study protocol for a randomised controlled trial

Trials, 2017
Background Fibrotic interstitial lung diseases (ILDs) are chronic and often progressive conditions resulting in substantial morbidity and mortality. Shortness of breath, a symptom often linked to oxygen desaturation on exertion, is tightly linked to ...

Present and future perspectives in early diagnosis and monitoring for progressive fibrosing interstitial lung diseases

Frontiers in Medicine, 2023
Progressive fibrosing interstitial lung diseases (PF-ILDs) represent a group of conditions of both known and unknown origin which continue to worsen despite standard treatments, leading to respiratory failure and early mortality.

Senescence of bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells from patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis

Stem Cell Research & Therapy, 2018
Background Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a chronic lung disease for which age is the most important risk factor. Different mechanisms associated with aging, including stem cell dysfunction, have been described to participate in the ...

Performance of pulmonary artery dimensions measured on high-resolution computed tomography scan for identifying pulmonary hypertension

ERJ Open Research, 2020
Background On high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT), pulmonary artery (PA) dimensions may hint at the presence of pulmonary hypertension. We aimed to determine how accurately various measures of the PA, as viewed on HRCT, predict right heart ...
