Characterization of Pulmonary Functional Abnormalities in Systemic Sclerosis Using Xenon MRI

Journal of Magnetic Resonance Imaging, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Xenon MRI is increasingly used to evaluate patients with interstitial lung disease (ILD) and pulmonary hypertension (PH), both of which are common manifestations of systemic sclerosis (SSc). As such, Xe‐MRI may be suited to interrogate lung function impairment in SSc.

Determinants of Improved Dyspnea and Exercise Tolerance With Nasal High‐Flow O2 Therapy in Fibrotic Interstitial Lung Disease: A Pilot Physiological Study

Respirology, EarlyView.
We tested the respective effect of high‐flow and supplemental O2 from nasal high‐flow O2 therapy (NHFO2) on dyspnea and exercise tolerance in fibrotic interstitial lung disease. Supplemental O2 and NHFO2 (but not high‐flow) provided improvements in these outcomes at “iso‐O2 saturation” due to reduced ventilatory requirements.
