Characterization of alpha-1 antitrypsin in a Pi∗ZZ patient with emphysema: a case report [PDF]

Respiratory Medicine Case Reports
Background: Lung disease severity and progression vary widely among individuals with severe alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency (AATD; Pi∗ZZ, Glu342Lys). In addition to low levels of polymerized Z mutant AAT (Z-AAT), this variability may result from other ...

Assessment of the impact of Z-Spring appliances and clear aligners on salivary parameters and periodontal health in children: a randomized clinical trial [PDF]

BMC Oral Health
Background Removable appliances greatly affect oral hygiene and increase the amount of plaque retention. The aim of this prospective study was to evaluate the effects of anterior crossbite treatment with Z-spring appliance and clear aligners on ...

Alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency and Pi*S and Pi*Z SERPINA1 variants are associated with asthma exacerbations

Pulmonology
Introduction and objectives Asthma is a chronic inflammatory disease of the airways. Asthma patients may experience potentially life-threatening episodic flare-ups, known as exacerbations, which may significantly contribute to the asthma burden. The Pi*S

Integral representation of vertical operators on the Bergman space over the upper half-plane

Comptes Rendus. Mathématique, 2023
Let $\Pi $ denote the upper half-plane. In this article, we prove that every vertical operator on the Bergman space $\mathcal{A}^2(\Pi )$ over the upper half-plane can be uniquely represented as an integral operator of the form \begin{equation*} \left ...

Risk factors for symptom onset in PI*Z alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency [PDF]

International Journal of COPD, 2006
In an early study of highly symptomatic patients with PI*Z alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency (AAT), tobacco smoking was identified as a risk factor by comparing the age of symptom onset in smokers and nonsmokers. Age of symptom onset has not been well studied in relationship to other environmental exposures.Environmental exposures were assessed in 313 PI ...

Pionic transitions from $$Z_c(4020)$$ Z c ( 4020 ) to D wave charmonia

European Physical Journal C: Particles and Fields, 2023
In the present work, we investigate the charmed meson loops contributions to the pionic transitions from $$Z_c(4020)^+$$ Z c ( 4020 ) + to the D wave triplets charmonia by using an effective Lagrangian approach.

Double exotic state productions in pion and kaon induced reactions

European Physical Journal C: Particles and Fields, 2021
In the present work, we investigate the pion/kaon induced $$P_c/P_{cs}$$ P c / P cs productions with $$Z_c$$ Z c state off proton target with an effective Lagrangian approach.

Heterozygous carriage of the alpha1-antitrypsin Pi*Z variant increases the risk to develop liver cirrhosis [PDF]

Gut, 2018
Objective Homozygous alpha1-antitrypsin (AAT) deficiency increases the risk for developing cirrhosis, whereas the relevance of heterozygous carriage remains unclear. Hence, we evaluated the impact of the two most relevant AAT variants (‘Pi*Z’ and ‘Pi*S’), present in up to 10% of Caucasians, on subjects with non ...

Body composition and pulmonary function in Cystic Fibrosis

Frontiers in Pediatrics, 2014
Background: Lower body mass index (BMI) is associated with worse pulmonary function in cystic fibrosis (CF). Hypothesis: Lean body mass (LBM) is more strongly associated with pulmonary function than BMI is.Methods: Anthropometrics, body composition by ...
