Getting it Right in Obstructive Lung Disease

Journal of Clinical Medicine, 2023
Chronic hypercapnic respiratory failure in obstructive lung diseases may benefit from nocturnal Home non-invasive ventilation (HNIV). It has been shown that in patients with persistence of hypercapnia after an acute episode of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) exacerbation requiring mechanical ventilation, HNIV may improve the risk for new ...

Systematic Review of Exposure to Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons and Obstructive Lung Disease [PDF]

Journal of Health and Pollution, 2021
Background. There is fast-growing epidemiologic evidence of the effects of environmental chemicals on respiratory health. Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) have been linked with airway obstruction common in asthma and/or asthma exacerbation, and ...

Phenotypes of obstructive lung disease [PDF]

The Clinical Respiratory Journal, 2008
AbstractRecently, there has been much emphasis on the fact that there are many different phenotypes in asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The aim of this review is to investigate some aspects of phenotyping in these two diseases.Epidemiological studies show a quite different risk factor pattern in allergic and non‐allergic asthma.

Significance of the microbiome in obstructive lung disease [PDF]

Thorax, 2012
The composition of the lung microbiome contributes to both health and disease, including obstructive lung disease. Because it has been estimated that over 70% of the bacterial species on body surfaces cannot be cultured by currently available techniques, traditional culture techniques are no longer the gold standard for microbial investigation ...

Epigenetics and chromatin remodeling play a role in lung disease [PDF]

, 2011
Epigenetics is defined as heritable changes that affect gene expression without altering the DNA sequence. Epigenetic regulation of gene expression is facilitated through different mechanisms such as DNA methylation, histone modifications and RNA ...
