Transcriptional Blood Signatures Distinguish Pulmonary Tuberculosis, Pulmonary Sarcoidosis, Pneumonias and Lung Cancers [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Rationale New approaches to define factors underlying the immunopathogenesis of pulmonary diseases including sarcoidosis and tuberculosis are needed to develop new treatments and biomarkers. Comparing the blood transcriptional response of tuberculosis

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.

A descriptive epidemiological study of interstitial lung disease in the United Kingdom general population [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Interstitial lung disease (ILD) is a heterogeneous group of parenchymal lung disorders having varied histopathologies. Although histologically different, the ILDs have rather similar clinical presentations consisting of increasing dyspnea, a restrictive ...

Parasitic lung diseases

open access: yesEuropean Respiratory Review, 2022
Parasitic lung diseases are caused by a number of parasites as a result of transient passage in the lung or as a result of an immunologic reaction. The clinical presentation may be in the form of focal or cystic lesions, pleural effusion or diffuse pulmonary infiltrates. With increasing globalisation, it is important to consider parasitic infections in

Pulmonary hypertension in the course of diffuse parenchymal lung diseases — state of art and future considerations [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Lung diseases are one of the most frequent causes of pulmonary hypertension (PH). The development of PH influences the course of lung disease, worsening the clinical symptoms and prognosis.

Simvastatin reduces endotoxin-induced acute lung injury by decreasing neutrophil recruitment and radical formation. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Treatment of acute lung injury (ALI) remains an unsolved problem in intensive care medicine. As simvastatin exerts protective effects in inflammatory diseases we explored its effects on development of ALI and due to the importance of neutrophils in ALI ...

Progressive fibrosis in interstitial lung diseases — proposed definition and management [PDF]

open access: yes, 2021
Interstitial lung diseases may have an unpredictably progressive course, which is manifested as progression of pulmonary fibrosis, causing an increasing impairment of lung function affecting a poor prognosis.

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 ...

Lung cancer in patients with fibrosing interstitial lung diseases: an overview of current knowledge and challenges. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2022
Patients with progressive fibrosing interstitial lung diseases (fILD) have increased morbidity and mortality. Lung fibrosis can be associated with lung cancer.

Non-Tuberculous Mycobacteria in Respiratory Specimens of Patients with Obstructive Lung Diseases—Colonization or Disease?

open access: yesAntibiotics, 2020
Non-tuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) are increasingly a cause of human respiratory tract colonization and mycobacterial lung disease (NTM-LD), especially in patients with chronic lung diseases.
