Classification of lung disease in HRCT scans using integral geometry measures and functional data analysis [PDF]
A framework for classification of chronic lung disease from high-resolution CT scans is presented. We use a set of features which measure the local morphology and topology of the 3D voxels within the lung parenchyma and apply functional data classification

Comparison of the triglyceride lipase of liver, adipose tissue, and postheparin plasma
Heparin-released triglyceride lipase from three sources, adipose tissue, liver, and postheparin plasma, was compared. Heparin-released triglyceride lipase from liver differed in several major respects from that in adipose tissue.

Abstract MARCKS (myristoylated alanine-rich C kinase substrate) is a prominent PKC substrate expressed in all eukaryotic cells. It is known to bind to and cross-link actin filaments, to serve as a bridge between Ca2+/calmodulin and PKC signaling, and to sequester the signaling molecule phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate in the ...

Lung transplantation for interstitial lung disease
Interstitial lung diseases (ILDs) are now the most common indication for lung transplant internationally. Given that many lung transplant candidates with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis are older, referral to a pulmonary rehabilitation programme is important to help mitigate the adverse outcomes associated with frailty.

Gene transfer vector development to treat lung disease: The use of a dual-function Lentiviral vector containing ENaC RNAi and the CFTR gene to treat Cystic Fibrosis lung disaease [PDF]
Cystic Fibrosis (CF) is a degenerative disorder that is often associated with chronic lung disease. CF is caused by mutations in the gene encoding the Cystic Fibrosis Transmembrane Conductance Regulator (CFTR) chloride channel, which lead to defective ...
