Environmental pollutants damage airway epithelial cell cilia: Implications for the prevention of obstructive lung diseases

open access: yesThoracic Cancer, 2020
Mucociliary epithelium lining the upper and lower respiratory tract constitutes the first line of defense of the airway and lungs against inhaled pollutants and pathogens.

Extracting Fractional Inspiratory Time from Electrocardiograms [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2020
Non-invasive at-home monitoring of lung and lung airways health enables the early detection and tracking of respiratory diseases like asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Various proposed approaches estimate the respiratory rate and extract the respiratory waveform from an electrocardiogram (ECG) signal as a way to discreetly ...

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 ...

A poroelastic model coupled to a fluid network with applications in lung modelling [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2014
Here we develop a lung ventilation model, based a continuum poroelastic representation of lung parenchyma and a 0D airway tree flow model. For the poroelastic approximation we design and implement a lowest order stabilised finite element method. This component is strongly coupled to the 0D airway tree model. The framework is applied to a realistic lung

Airway Tree Modeling Using Dual-channel 3D UNet 3+ with Vesselness Prior [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2022
The lung airway tree modeling is essential to work for the diagnosis of pulmonary diseases, especially for X-Ray computed tomography (CT). The airway tree modeling on CT images can provide the experts with 3-dimension measurements like wall thickness, etc.

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 ...

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.

Current concepts on oxidative/carbonyl stress, inflammation and epigenetics in pathogenesis of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a global health problem, and current therapy for COPD is poorly effective and the mainstays of pharmacotherapy are bronchodilators.

ACVIM consensus statement guidelines for the diagnosis, classification, treatment, and monitoring of pulmonary hypertension in dogs. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
Pulmonary hypertension (PH), defined by increased pressure within the pulmonary vasculature, is a hemodynamic and pathophysiologic state present in a wide variety of cardiovascular, respiratory, and systemic diseases.

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 (
