Lung Cancer in Pulmonary Fibrosis: Tales of Epithelial Cell Plasticity [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Lung epithelial cells exhibit a high degree of plasticity. Alterations to lung epithelial cell function are critically involved in several chronic lung diseases such as pulmonary fibrosis.

Tracking dyspnea up to supplemental oxygen prescription among patients with pulmonary fibrosis

open access: yesBMC Pulmonary Medicine, 2017
Background Dyspnea is the hallmark symptom of pulmonary fibrosis. Supplemental oxygen (O2) is prescribed to many patients with pulmonary fibrosis in hopes of alleviating dyspnea and improving physical functioning.

Multi-center evaluation of baseline neutrophil-to-lymphocyte (NLR) ratio as an independent predictor of mortality and clinical risk stratifier in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosisResearch in context

open access: yesEClinicalMedicine, 2023
Summary: Background: Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a progressive, fatal disorder with a variable disease trajectory. The aim of this study was to assess the potential of neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) to predict outcomes in IPF.

Imaging diagnosis-computed tomography of traction bronchiectasis secondary to pulmonary fibrosis in a Patterdale Terrier [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
An 8-year-old, Patterdale terrier was referred for evaluation of tachypnoea, exercise intolerance, and weight loss. Computed tomographic images showed pneumomediastinum, diffuse pulmonary ground glass opacity, and marked dilatation of peripheral bronchi,

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

open access: yesStem 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 ...

Non-infectious pulmonary complications of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Noninfectious pulmonary complications of hematopoietic stem cell transplant are currently more prevalent than infectious complications. Unfortunately, the pathophysiology basis is not completely understood.

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

open access: yesERJ 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 ...

Heterologous matrix metalloproteinase gene promoter activity allows In Vivo real-time imaging of Bleomycin-induced Lung fibrosis in transiently transgenized mice [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis is a very common interstitial lung disease derived from chronic inflammatory insults, characterized by massive scar tissue deposition that causes the progressive loss of lung function and subsequent death for respiratory ...
