Qualitative and quantitative evaluation of computed tomography changes in adults with cystic fibrosis treated with elexacaftor-tezacaftor-ivacaftor: a retrospective observational study

open access: yesFrontiers in Pharmacology, 2023
Introduction: The availability of highly effective triple cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) modulator combination therapy with elexacaftor–tezacaftor–ivacaftor (ETI) has improved pulmonary outcomes and quality of life of people ...

Interleukin‐17A and interleukin‐22 production by conventional and non‐conventional lymphocytes in three different end‐stage lung diseases

open access: yesClinical & Translational Immunology, 2022
Objectives The contribution of adaptive vs. innate lymphocytes to IL‐17A and IL‐22 secretion at the end stage of chronic lung diseases remains largely unexplored. In order to uncover tissue‐ and disease‐specific secretion patterns, we compared production

Ciliary Ultrastructure Assessed by Transmission Electron Microscopy in Adults with Bronchiectasis and Suspected Primary Ciliary Dyskinesia but Inconclusive Genotype

open access: yesCells, 2023
Whole-exome sequencing has expedited the diagnostic work-up of primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD), when used in addition to clinical phenotype and nasal nitric oxide. However, it reveals variants of uncertain significance (VUS) in established PCD genes or (

The Relationship between Plasma Alpha-1-Antitrypsin Polymers and Lung or Liver Function in ZZ Alpha-1-Antitrypsin-Deficient Patients

open access: yesBiomolecules, 2022
Alpha-1-Antitrypsin (AAT) is a protein of the SERPINA1 gene. A single amino acid mutation (Lys342Glu) results in an expression of misfolded Z-AAT protein, which has a high propensity to intra- and extra-cellular polymerization.

Muco-Obstructive Lung Diseases

open access: yesNew England Journal of Medicine, 2019
A spectrum of lung diseases that affect the airways, including chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), cystic fibrosis, primary ciliary dyskinesia, and non–cystic fibrosis bronchiectasis, can be characterized as muco-obstructive diseases. These diseases have the clinical features of cough, sputum production, and episodic exacerbations that are ...

Diet and Obstructive Lung Diseases [PDF]

open access: yesEpidemiologic Reviews, 2001
The results presented in this review suggest that the impact of nutrition on obstructive lung disease is most evident for antioxidant vitamins, particularly vitamin C and, to a lesser extent, vitamin E. By decreasing oxidant insults to the lung, antioxidants could modulate the development of chronic lung diseases and lung function decrement ...
