Classification of interstitial lung disease patterns with topological texture features [PDF]
Topological texture features were compared in their ability to classify morphological patterns known as 'honeycombing' that are considered indicative for the presence of fibrotic interstitial lung diseases in high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) images.

Interstitial Lung Diseases [PDF]
Interstitial lung diseases are rare and diffuse, and their diagnosis is a challenge because it requires a multidisciplinary approach. Future trends in the treatment of these diseases requires knowledge of the molecular changes in various types of lung ...

Characterization of the PF-ILD phenotype in patients with advanced pulmonary sarcoidosis
Background Advanced pulmonary sarcoidosis causes significant morbidity and can lead to death. Large trials demonstrated efficacy of antifibrotics in patients with progressive fibrosing interstitial lung diseases (PF-ILD), including a few with sarcoidosis.

Decreased Survival and Lung Function in Progressive Pulmonary Fibrosis
Background and Objectives: Progressive pulmonary fibrosis (PPF) is a recently described term reserved for patients with fibrotic ILD other than idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) with fast clinical deterioration. Here, survival and prognostic biomarkers

Clustering of lung diseases in the family of interstitial lung disease patients
Background The presence of familial interstitial lung disease (ILD) has been found to predict development of progressive pulmonary fibrosis. However, the role of non-ILD lung diseases in ILD patients’ families has not yet been investigated.

No effect of danazol treatment in patients with advanced idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis
Background Telomere dysfunction can underly the development of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), and recent work suggests that patients with telomere syndromes might benefit from treatment with androgens, such as danazol.

Heterogeneity of mononuclear phagocytes in interstitial lung diseases [PDF]
Interstitial lung diseases are a heterogeneous group of illnesses with different pathogeneses. In interstitial lung diseases there often is an increased influx of cells from the peripheral blood (PB) to the interstitium and alveoli.

Cluster features in fibrosing interstitial lung disease and associations with prognosis
Background Clustering is helpful in identifying subtypes in complex fibrosing interstitial lung disease (F-ILD) and associating them with prognosis at an early stage of the disease to improve treatment management.
