Evaluation of Acute Exposure to Combustible and Novel Tobacco Products Using an In Vitro Human Airway Organ Tissue Equivalent Model

Journal of Applied Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Despite the well‐known risks of tobacco use, tobacco exposure remains a major contributor to morbidity and mortality worldwide. Although cigarette use has declined, the popularity of novel tobacco products (NTPs), such as electronic cigarettes (ECs) and heated tobacco products (HTPs), has increased.

Therapeutic Potential of Photobiomodulation in Early Recovery After Experimental Spinal Cord Injury in Rats: Histological and Biomechanical Analysis

Journal of Biophotonics, EarlyView.
Spinal cord injuries (SCI) cause severe motor and sensory deficits, with limited treatment options. This study demonstrates that early application of photobiomodulation (PBM) can protect spinal cord tissue and accelerate functional recovery in a preclinical model, which integrates biomechanical analysis with histomorphological characteristics of the ...

Single-inhaler fluticasone furoate/umeclidinium/vilanterol versus fluticasone furoate/vilanterol plus umeclidinium using two inhalers for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease: A randomized non-inferiority study [PDF]

, 2018
Background: Single-inhaler fluticasone furoate/umeclidinium/vilanterol (FF/UMEC/VI) 100/62.5/25 μg has been shown to improve lung function and health status, and reduce exacerbations, versus budesonide/formoterol in patients with chronic obstructive ...

Comparison of Signal‐ and Volume‐Based Ventilation‐Weighted Assessment Using 3D FLORET UTE MRI in Patients With Various Pulmonary Disease

Magnetic Resonance in Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Purpose 3D free‐breathing, proton, contrast‐agent‐free MR methods are increasingly used for pulmonary ventilation‐weighted measurements. The methods are split between: (1) signal‐based, which rely on lung parenchyma signal changes during respiration, and (2) volume‐based that utilize the Jacobian determinant of deformation fields from the ...

A Novel Method for Generating a Fused Ventilation–Perfusion Map Using CT‐Derived Ventilation and FDG‐PET for Lung Functional Avoidance in Radiotherapy: A Feasibility Study

Precision Radiation Oncology, EarlyView.
This study retrospectively analyzed two types of respiratory phase CT and PET/CT images of 20 lung cancer patients. After DIR and functional grading, three lung function images were developed, and their correlations and differences were evaluated. Abstract Background Pulmonary ventilation–perfusion function plays a crucial role in both radiotherapy ...
