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

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

Future challenges and their impact on respiratory health and lung cancer
Air pollution, climate and population health are closely related in terms of their impacts on respiratory health and lung cancer. Air pollutants contribute to the exacerbation of chronic respiratory problems such as COPD and asthma.

Novel folliculin gene mutations in Polish patients with Birt–Hogg–Dubé syndrome
Background Birt–Hogg–Dubé syndrome (BHDS) is a rare, autosomal dominant, inherited disease caused by mutations in the folliculin gene (FLCN). The disease is characterised by skin lesions (fibrofolliculomas, trichodiscomas, acrochordons), pulmonary cysts ...

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

Mechanisms of Lung Injury in a Mouse Model of Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia [PDF]
Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) is a chronic lung disease that affects preterm infants. Increased levels of inflammatory mediators in the amniotic fluid and in the lungs of preterm infants are associated with the development of BPD.

Local lung responses following endobronchial elastase and lipopolysaccharide instillation in sheep [PDF]
Chronic lipopolysaccharide (LPS) exposure may contribute to the pathogenesis of a number of lung diseases including COPD and emphysema. We sought to develop a large-animal model of emphysema using repeated LPS administration into sheep lung segments.
