Medicina, 2018 Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a chronic interstitial lung disease characterised by a progressive and irreversible decline in lung function, which is associated with poor long-term survival. The pathogenesis of IPF is incompletely understood.

Decision Tree of Occupational Lung Cancer Using Classification and Regression Analysis
Safety and Health at Work, 2010 Objectives: Determining the work-relatedness of lung cancer developed through occupational exposures is very difficult. Aims of the present study are to develop a decision tree of occupational lung cancer Methods: 153 cases of lung cancer surveyed by the

Lung Cancer in Argentina: A Modelling Study of Disease and Economic Burden [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Objectives: Lung cancer remains a significant global public health challenge and is still one of the leading cause of cancer-related death in Argentina. This study aims to assess the disease and economic burden of lung cancer in the country. Study design: Burden of disease study Methods.

Entropy Production and the Pressure-Volume Curve of the Lung [PDF]
, 2015 We investigate analytically the production of entropy during a breathing cycle in healthy and diseased lungs. First, we calculate entropy production in healthy lungs by applying the laws of thermodynamics to the well-known transpulmonary pressure-volume ($P-V$) curves of the lung under the assumption that lung tissue behaves as an entropy spring-like ...

Asthma and treatment with inhaled corticosteroids: associations with hospitalisations with pneumonia
BMC Pulmonary Medicine, 2019 Background Pneumonia is an important cause of morbidity and mortality. COPD patients using inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) have an increased risk of pneumonia, but less is known about whether ICS treatment in asthma also increases the risk of pneumonia ...

Ambulatory oxygen in fibrotic lung disease (AmbOx): study protocol for a randomised controlled trial
Trials, 2017 Background Fibrotic interstitial lung diseases (ILDs) are chronic and often progressive conditions resulting in substantial morbidity and mortality. Shortness of breath, a symptom often linked to oxygen desaturation on exertion, is tightly linked to ...

Indoor Air Quality Improvement [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 Poor indoor air quality can contribute to the development of various chronic respiratory diseases such as asthma, heart disease, and lung cancer. Since air quality is extremely difficult for humans to detect though sensory processing, there is a need for efficient ventilation systems that can provide a healthier environment.

Silica exposure and work-relatedness evaluation for occupational cancer in Korea
Annals of Occupational and Environmental Medicine, 2018 Crystalline silica has been classified as a definite carcinogen (Group 1) causing lung cancer by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC). In Korea, crystalline silica has been the most common causal agent for workers to apply to the Korea ...
