Chronic Obstructive Lung Diseases and Risk of Non-small Cell Lung Cancer in Women

open access: yesJournal of Thoracic Oncology, 2009
Introduction: The link between lung cancer and chronic obstructive lung diseases (COPD) has not been well studied in women even though lung cancer and COPD account for significant and growing morbidity and mortality among women. Methods: We evaluated the

Generation of two human induced pluripotent stem cell lines (MHHi017-A, MHHi017-B) from a patient with primary ciliary dyskinesia carrying a homozygous mutation (c.7915C > T [p.Arg2639*]) in the DNAH5 gene

open access: yesStem Cell Research, 2020
Dynein axonemal heavy chain 5 (DNAH5) is part of a microtubule-associated protein complex found within the cilia of the lung. Mutations in the DNAH5 gene lead to impaired ciliary function and are linked to primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD), a rare ...

A data analytic model to determine regional variation of asthma incidence and other chronic obstructive lung diseases in Oman

open access: yesHealthcare Analytics, 2022
This study examines how asthma and other chronic obstructive lung diseases vary in different regions. Information pertaining influence of region as a proxy for the environment on asthma is not well established, yet important for healthcare, travel, and ...

Assessing HyperSight iterative CBCT for dose calculation in online adaptive radiotherapy for pelvis and breast patients compared to synthetic CT

open access: yesJournal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose/objectives Recent technological advancements have increased efficiency for clinical deliverability of online‐adaptive‐radiotherapy (oART). Previous cone‐beam‐computed‐tomography (CBCT) generations lacked the ability to provide reliable Hounsfield‐units (HU), thus requiring oART workflows to rely on synthetic‐CT (sCT) images derived ...

Different dynamics of soluble inflammatory mediators after clearance of respiratory SARS-CoV-2 versus blood-borne hepatitis C virus infections

open access: yesScientific Reports
Viral infections can be acute or chronic, with the immune system pivotal in immunopathogenesis. The potential reversibility of inflammation post-viral elimination is of current interest. This study compares the dynamics of soluble inflammatory mediators (

Generation of two hiPSC lines (MHHi016-A, MHHi016-B) from a primary ciliary dyskinesia patient carrying a homozygous 5 bp duplication (c.248_252dup (p.Gly85Cysfs*11)) in exon 1 of the CCNO gene

open access: yesStem Cell Research, 2020
Cyclin O (CCNO) is involved in cell cycle regulation and mutations of CCNO are linked to the rare genetic disease primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD).

Bioreactor-based mass production of human iPSC-derived macrophages enables immunotherapies against bacterial airway infections

open access: yesNature Communications, 2018
Pulmonary infections constitute a substantial health problem worldwide. Here the authors show that phagocytes similar to primitive macrophages can be generated from human induced pluripotent stem cells, by the use of industry-compatible, stirred-tank ...

Classification of COPD with Multiple Instance Learning [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a lung disease where early detection benefits the survival rate. COPD can be quantified by classifying patches of computed tomography images, and combining patch labels into an overall diagnosis for the image.

Patient considerations in the treatment of COPD: focus on the new combination inhaler umeclidinium/vilanterol. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Medication adherence among patients with chronic diseases, such as COPD, may be suboptimal, and many factors contribute to this poor adherence. One major factor is the frequency of medication dosing.
