Interstitial lung disease in Malta [PDF]
Aim: To establish the prevalence, management and response to treatment of interstitial lung disease (ILD) in Malta. Methodology: The personal files of 102 living and 26 deceased patients with ILD under the care of 4 respiratory physicians were reviewed ...

Assessment of pulmonary edema: principles and practice [PDF]
Pulmonary edema increasingly is recognized as a perioperative complication affecting outcome. Several risk factors have been identified, including those of cardiogenic origin, such as heart failure or excessive fluid administration, and those related to ...

Coagulation and anticoagulation in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis [PDF]
Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is an incurable, progressive interstitial lung disease with a prognosis that is worse than that of many cancers. Epidemiological studies have demonstrated a link between IPF and thrombotic vascular events.

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

Fibroblastic Foci in Usual Interstitial Pneumonia: Idiopathic versus Collagen Vascular Disease [PDF]
A histologic feature of usual interstitial pneumonia is the presence of fibroblastic foci. As some patients with usual interstitial pneumonia and an underlying collagen vascular disease have a better prognosis, we hypothesized that they would have fewer ...

Gene expression profiles among murine strains segregate with distinct differences in the progression of radiation-induced lung disease. [PDF]
Molecular mechanisms underlying development of acute pneumonitis and/or late fibrosis following thoracic irradiation remain poorly understood. Here, we hypothesize that heterogeneity in disease progression and phenotypic expression of radiation-induced ...

Sequencing of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis-related genes reveals independent single gene associations [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Previous studies investigating a genetic basis for idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) have focused on resequencing single genes in IPF kindreds or cohorts to determine the genetic contributions to IPF.
