Processed meat consumption and lung function: modification by antioxidants and smoking [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Unhealthy dietary patterns are associated with poorer lung function. It is not known whether this is due to low consumption of antioxidant-rich fruit and vegetables, or is a consequence of higher intakes of harmful dietary constituents such as processed ...

Improving spirometry testing by understanding patient preferences

open access: yesERJ Open Research, 2021
The American Thoracic Society and European Respiratory Society commissioned a task force to update the technical standards for spirometry testing with the aim of increasing the accuracy, precision and quality of spirometry measurements and improving the ...

SERPINA1 PiZ and PiS heterozygotes and lung function decline in the SAPALDIA cohort [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
BACKGROUND: Severe alpha1-antitrypsin (AAT) deficiency is a strong risk factor for COPD. But the impact of gene variants resulting in mild or intermediate AAT deficiency on the longitudinal course of respiratory health remains controversial.

Genome-wide association and large-scale follow up identifies 16 new loci influencing lung function [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Pulmonary function measures reflect respiratory health and are used in the diagnosis of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. We tested genome-wide association with forced expiratory volume in 1 second and the ratio of forced expiratory volume in 1 ...

β3-Adrenoceptor redistribution impairs NO/cGMP/PDE2 signalling in failing cardiomyocytes

open access: yeseLife, 2020
Cardiomyocyte β3-adrenoceptors (β3-ARs) coupled to soluble guanylyl cyclase (sGC)-dependent production of the second messenger 3’,5’-cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) have been shown to protect from heart failure.

Measurement of breathing in patients with post-COVID-19 using structured light plethysmography (SLP)

open access: yesBMJ Open Respiratory Research, 2021
Introduction COVID-19 pandemic has had a huge impact on global health to date, with 5.6 million cases in the UK since its emergence. The respiratory symptoms largely mimic those of pneumonia’ with symptoms ranging from mild to severe.

Improvement of lung preservation - From experiment to clinical practice [PDF]

open access: yes, 2002
Background. Reperfusion injury represents a severe early complication following lung transplantation. Among the pathogenetic factors, the high potassium content of Euro-Collins(R) solution is discussed.

Regulation of Immunoproteasome Function in the Lung [PDF]

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2015
AbstractImpaired immune function contributes to the development of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Disease progression is further exacerbated by pathogen infections due to impaired immune responses. Elimination of infected cells is achieved by cytotoxic CD8+  T cells that are activated by MHC I-mediated presentation of pathogen-derived ...

A Comprehensive Evaluation of Potential Lung Function Associated Genes in the SpiroMeta General Population Sample [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Rationale: Lung function measures are heritable traits that predict population morbidity and mortality and are essential for the diagnosis of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Variations in many genes have been reported to affect these traits,
