The value of high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) to determine exercise ventilatory inefficiency and dynamic hyperinflation in adult patients with cystic fibrosis

Respiratory Research, 2019
Introduction In Cystic Fibrosis (CF), exercise ventilatory inefficiency and dynamic hyperinflation (DH) cause exercise limitation and induce poor exercise tolerance.

Cardiac mechanics and reverse remodelling under mechanical support from left ventricular assist devices

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2023
In recent years, development of mechanical circulatory support devices has proved to be a new treatment modality, in addition to standard pharmacological therapy, for patients with heart failure or acutely depressed cardiac function.

Lung Function and Risk of Type 2 Diabetes and Fatal and Nonfatal Major Coronary Heart Disease Events: Possible Associations With Inflammation [PDF]

, 2010
OBJECTIVE - We prospectively examined the relationship between lung function and risk of type-2 diabetes and fatal and nonfatal coronary heart disease (CHD) events and investigated the hypothesis that inflammation may underlie these associations ...

Concurrent micro- to macro-cardiac electrophysiology in myocyte cultures and human heart slices

Scientific Reports, 2018
The contact cardiac electrogram is derived from the extracellular manifestation of cellular action potentials and cell-to-cell communication. It is used to guide catheter based clinical procedures.

Severe acute respiratory failure due to a multifactorial diffuse alveolar haemorrhage

Respirology Case Reports, 2020
Diffuse alveolar haemorrhage (DAH) is a life‐threatening syndrome caused by infection, coagulation disorders or autoimmune diseases. We here report the case of an 81‐year‐old male subject affected by a multifactorial DAH, in which the bleeding was ...

Partial Mechanical Unloading of the Heart Disrupts L-Type Calcium Channel and Beta-Adrenoceptor Signaling Microdomains

Frontiers in Physiology, 2018
Introduction: We investigated the effect of partial mechanical unloading (PMU) of the heart on the physiology of calcium and beta-adrenoceptor-cAMP (βAR-cAMP) microdomains.

Ultrasound evaluation of diaphragmatic function in patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis: a retrospective observational study

Respiratory Research, 2023
Introduction The diaphragm function assessed by ultrasound has been well-studied in COPD, asthma, and intensive care. However, there are only a few studies on diffuse interstitial lung disease, while dyspnea and quality of life are major issues in the ...

Integrated Bayesian approach to incorporate prior biological knowledge in the investigation of genetic variants associated with lung function [PDF]

, 2018
Genetic association studies aim to identify single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) that are associated with complex diseases and traits. These studies, especially those performed at the genome-wide level, have successfully identified many SNPs associated
