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,

Ultrasound Evaluation of Interstitial Lung Disease in Rheumatoid Arthritis and Autoimmune Diseases

The interpretation of lung ultrasound is the result of the analysis of artifacts rather than exact representations of anatomical structures, which appear when changes in the physical properties of the lung occur.

Smoking-related interstitial lung disease [PDF]

, 2011
Cigarette smoking has a clear epidemiological association with lung diseases, characterised by chronic inflammation of both the bronchiolar and the interstitial lung compartments.

Association of Elevated Platelets and C‐Reactive Protein With Severe Disease and Poor Survival in Systemic Sclerosis

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective Elevated C‐reactive protein (CRP) levels in systemic sclerosis (SSc) have been linked with severe disease and worse survival, but the role of platelet levels remains unclear. This study examined whether elevated platelet levels, CRP levels, or both are associated with disease severity, progression, and survival in SSc.

Smoking-related interstitial lung diseases.

, 2010
In pulmonary pathology, a wide spectrum of morphological changes is related to the consequences of smoking, and recognizing them on surgical specimens and on small transbronchial biopsies represents a challenge for the pathologist.

Targeting fused in sarcoma (FUS): a novel antisense strategy for treating idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis

Signal Transduction and Targeted Therapy
Fused in sarcoma (FUS) is a highly conserved RNA-binding protein with essential roles in RNA processing and genomic stability. While extensively studied in the context of neurodegeneration, its involvement in fibrotic diseases, particularly idiopathic ...

Adenocarcinoma of the lung mimicking interstitial lung disease

Atypical radiologic and clinical patterns may be observed within subgroups of lung adenocarcinoma. A 74-year-old man with progressive dyspnea and productive cough unresponsive to antibiotherapy showed bilateral interstitial changes in the lung parenchyma

Development of a Disease Activity Index for the Assessment of VEXAS Syndrome (VEXAS‐DAI)

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective Vacuoles, E1 enzyme, X‐linked, autoinflammatory, somatic syndrome (VEXAS) syndrome is characterized by a complex spectrum of inflammatory and hematologic manifestations. Clinical research to identify effective therapies is urgently needed but is hindered by the lack of validated outcome measures.

A common microbial signature is present in the lower airways of interstitial lung diseases including sarcoidosis [PDF]

, 2018
Background: The etiology of pulmonary sarcoidosis is not well established. Although the mechanism triggering pulmonary sarcoidosis remains to be established, inflammatory reactions seem to play an important role in this process.

Smoking and interstitial lung diseases

, 2015
For many years has been well known that smoking could cause lung damage. Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and lung cancer have been the two most common smoking-related lung diseases.
