Early life origins of lung ageing : early life exposures and lung function decline in adulthood in two European cohorts aged 28-73 years [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Early life environment is essential for lung growth and maximally attained lung function. Whether early life exposures impact on lung function decline in adulthood, an indicator of lung ageing, has scarcely been studied.; Spirometry data from two time ...

The association between blood coagulation activity and lung function: a population-based study [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
<p><b>Background:</b> Increased in susceptibility to thrombotic disease may be associated with lower lung function. If causal, this association may suggest an area for development of new interventions for lung disease.

Automatic Screening of Lung Diseases by 3D Active Contour Method for Inhomogeneous Motion Estimation in CT Image Pairs

open access: yesWalailak Journal of Science and Technology, 2021
Lung diseases are now the third leading cause of death worldwide because of the many risk factors we are exposed to daily, such as air pollution, tobacco use, viruses (such as COVID-19), and bacteria. This work introduces a new approach of the 3D Active

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 ...

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 ...

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).

Highly sensitive C-reactive protein levels in Iranian patients with pulmonary complication of sulfur mustard poisoning and its correlation with severity of airway diseases [PDF]

open access: yes
Background: Sulfur mustard (SM) is a chemical warfare agent that can cause serious pulmonary complications. This study was designed to determine serum highly sensitive C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) and evaluate its correlation with lung function ...
