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.

Epithelial–Mesenchymal Transition in Human Alveolar Cells Exposed to Indium Chloride
ABSTRACT For workers in the industry, occupational exposure to indium compounds induces pulmonary disorders, such as interstitial pneumonia. Moreover, lung cancer has been reported in both humans and rodents exposed to indium compounds by inhalation. However, the biological mechanism underlying indium‐induced disorders is poorly understood.

Auscultation of Velcro Crackles is Associated With Usual Interstitial Pneumonia
Auscultation of Velcro crackles has been proposed as a key finding in physical lung examination in patients with interstitial lung diseases (ILDs), especially in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). However, no studies have been carried out to assess the

Clinical Use of Lung Ultrasound by Emergency and Intensive Care Physicians: A Swiss National Survey
Lung ultrasound is widely used by emergency and ICU physicians, especially for evaluating dyspnea, shock, and hypoxemia. Despite high clinical relevance, gaps in formal training and protocol standardization persist. Enhancing education and harmonizing practices is essential for optimizing LUS integration into acute care.

This study established that patient's lateral width measurements made from scanned projection radiograph (SPR) is an overestimate compared to those measured from tomographic slices by about 10%. Size‐specific dose estimates (SSDE) calculated using lateral width measured from SPR correlates well with SSDE calculated using water equivalent diameter of ...
