Potential clinical utility of MUC5B und TOLLIP single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the management of patients with IPF

Orphanet Journal of Rare Diseases, 2021
Background Genetic variants of TOLLIP and MUC5B, both on chromosome 11, have been reported to be associated with the development and/or prognosis of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF).

Semantic Segmentation of Pathological Lung Tissue with Dilated Fully Convolutional Networks [PDF]

, 2018
Early and accurate diagnosis of interstitial lung diseases (ILDs) is crucial for making treatment decisions, but can be challenging even for experienced radiologists. The diagnostic procedure is based on the detection and recognition of the different ILD pathologies in thoracic CT scans, yet their manifestation often appears similar.

Imaging Lung Disease in Systemic Sclerosis [PDF]

, 2010
Interstitial lung disease and pulmonary hypertension (PH) are the most common cardiopulmonary findings in patients with systemic sclerosis (SSc). About two thirds of patients suffering from SSc develop scleroderma interstitial lung disease. PH is present

Interstitial flow potentiates TGF-$β$/Smad-signaling activity in lung cancer spheroids in a 3D-microfluidic chip [PDF]

arXiv, 2023
Within the tumor microenvironment (TME), cancer cells use mechanotransduction pathways to convert biophysical forces to biochemical signals. However, the underlying mechanisms and functional significance of these pathways remain largely unclear. The upregulation of mechanosensitive pathways from biophysical forces such as interstitial flow, leads to ...

CC-chemokine ligand 18, CXC motif chemokine 13 and osteopontin as biomarkers of silicosis and asbestosis: a prospective observational study

Scientific Reports
Background Silicosis and asbestosis, distinct forms of pneumoconiosis, manifest progressive interstitial fibrosis due to exposure to silica dust or asbestos fibers. This study aimed to identify potential biomarkers for diagnosing silicosis and asbestosis,

Entropy Production and the Pressure-Volume Curve of the Lung [PDF]

, 2015
We investigate analytically the production of entropy during a breathing cycle in healthy and diseased lungs. First, we calculate entropy production in healthy lungs by applying the laws of thermodynamics to the well-known transpulmonary pressure-volume ($P-V$) curves of the lung under the assumption that lung tissue behaves as an entropy spring-like ...

Desquamative interstitial pneumonia: a systematic review of its features and outcomes

European Respiratory Review, 2020
Background Desquamative Interstitial Pneumonia (DIP) is a rare form of idiopathic interstitial pneumonia (IIP). Data on clinical features, aetiology, prognosis and effect of treatment strategies are limited.
