Deep Learning for Detecting and Early Predicting Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease from Spirogram Time Series [PDF]

npj Syst. Biol. Appl. 11, 18 (2025)
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a chronic lung condition characterized by airflow obstruction. Current diagnostic methods primarily rely on identifying prominent features in spirometry (Volume-Flow time series) to detect COPD, but they are not adept at predicting future COPD risk based on subtle data patterns.

Quantitative CT analysis in patients with pulmonary emphysema: is lung function influenced by concomitant unspecific pulmonary fibrosis? [PDF]

, 2019
Purpose: Quantitative analysis of CT scans has proven to be a reproducible technique, which might help to understand the pathophysiology of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and combined pulmonary fibrosis and emphysema.

Airway Epithelial Cell Cilia and Obstructive Lung Disease

Cells, 2016
Airway epithelium is the first line of defense against exposure of the airway and lung to various inflammatory stimuli. Ciliary beating of airway epithelial cells constitutes an important part of the mucociliary transport apparatus.

Biomimetic Co‐delivery of Lenvatinib and FePt Nanoparticles for Enhanced Ferroptosis/Apoptosis Treatment of Hepatocellular Carcinoma

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
This study introduces a novel HCC treatment using poly lactic‐co‐glycolic acid (PLGA) nanoparticles encased in HCC cell membranes to co‐deliver Lenvatinib and FePt nanoparticles. This approach improves treatment efficacy by enhancing ferroptosis and apoptosis.

A Comparison of the Mechanical Properties of ECM Components and Synthetic Self‐Assembling Peptides

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Self‐assembling peptide hydrogels are increasingly utilized in biomedical applications. The authors review the key mechanical properties of these structures across multiple size scales and compare them to that of native extracellular matrix components, which are found to display a much wider range of structural attributes.

Multi-Task Learning for Lung sound & Lung disease classification [PDF]

arXiv
In recent years, advancements in deep learning techniques have considerably enhanced the efficiency and accuracy of medical diagnostics. In this work, a novel approach using multi-task learning (MTL) for the simultaneous classification of lung sounds and lung diseases is proposed.

First Description of the Hyperpnea–Hypopnea Periodic Breathing in Patients with Interstitial Lung Disease-Obstructive Sleep Apnea: Treatment Implications in a Real-Life Setting

International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, 2019
There is evidence that hypopneas are more common than apneas in obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) related to idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). We investigated the frequency distribution of hypopneas in 100 patients with interstitial lung diseases (ILDs ...

Precision Photothermal Therapy at Mild Temperature: NIR‐II Imaging‐Guided, H2O2‐Responsive Stealth Nanobomb

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
The new generation nanobomb, termed the stealth nanobomb, is fabricated through self‐assembly using a polymeric carbon monoxide carrier (PLGA(CO)), small molecule near‐infrared‐active agents (2TT‐OC46B), and phospholipid polyethylene glycol (DSPE‐mPEG2000). The stealth nanobomb can circulate in the bloodstream and specifically target pancreatic cancer,

Profile of respiratory problems in patients presenting to a referral pulmonary clinic

Lung India, 2008
Analysis of OPD data of 2012 patients in a referral pulmonary clinic at Kolkata was done following a protocol-based approach. Obstructive airway diseases (COPD and asthma) were the most common (43%) problem followed by infective lung diseases (15&#
