Glucagon‐Like Peptide‐1 Receptor Agonist‐Based Agents and Body Composition: Filling More Gaps

Obesity, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The last 2 decades have seen historic advances in the treatment of obesity. We are entering an era of defining obesity not by weight‐based outcomes but by changes in body composition. Glucagon‐like peptide‐1 receptor agonists (GLP‐1 RAs) are forming the platform for obesity treatments based on their high level of efficacy. Body composition can

Nasal Airway Transcriptome Reflects Selected Asthma‐Associated Gene Signatures in the Lower Airways

Allergy, EarlyView.
Seven genes and two gene modules were consistently associated with asthma in both airway compartments in ARMS and were validated in ATLANTIS. The two modules reflected IL‐13 related inflammation and mast cell activity, respectively. Nasal gene signatures provide a non‐invasive proxy for selected bronchial asthma‐associated gene signatures.

The Role of Impulse Oscillometry in Evaluating Disease Severity and Predicting the Airway Reversibility in Patients With Bronchiectasis

Frontiers in Medicine, 2022
BackgroundImpulse oscillometry (IOS) can be used to evaluate airway impedance in patients with obstructive airway diseases. Previous studies have demonstrated that IOS parameters differ between patients with bronchiectasis and healthy controls.

Therapeutic targeting of bleomycin‐induced pulmonary fibrosis by human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell‐derived extracellular vesicles and/or pirfenidone: Impact of sex in mature adult mice

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background and Purpose Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a progressive lung disease with limited therapeutic options. This study compared the therapeutic effects of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell‐derived extracellular vesicles (BM‐MSC‐EVs) with an IPF treatment, pirfenidone (PFD), in mature adult mice with established pulmonary ...

Evaluation of limb vascular condition by using bio-impedance plethysmography. [PDF]

, 2019
As the population ages, vascular condition monitoring and care are becoming increasingly important. The aim of the thesis is to confirm or deny the hypothesis that the bio-impedance plethysmography signal is suitable for the localized assessment of the ...

Design and implementation of a portable impedance cardiography system for noninvasive stroke volume monitoring

Journal of Medical Signals and Sensors, 2016
Measurement of the stroke volume (SV) and its changes over time can be very helpful for diagnosis of dysfunctions in the blood circulatory system and monitoring their treatments.

Feasibility and usability of three consecutive nights with self‐applied, home polysomnography

Journal of Sleep Research, Volume 34, Issue 2, April 2025.
Summary In‐laboratory polysomnography, the gold‐standard for diagnosing sleep disorders, is resource‐demanding and not conducive to multiple night evaluations. Ambulatory polysomnography, especially when self‐applied, could be a viable alternative. This study aimed to assess the feasibility and reliability of self‐applied polysomnography over three ...

Thoracoabdominal Asynchrony in Healthy Children

Journal of Sleep Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Measuring asynchrony between the thorax and abdomen during sleep provides information about inspiratory effort and upper airway obstruction in children, aiding in the diagnosis of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). This study aimed to define a normative range for thoracoabdominal asynchrony (TAA) in healthy children by studying polysomnographies ...

Impedance plethysmography and thrombo-embolic disease

The British Journal of Radiology, 1992
Abstract This study compares the results of impedance plethysmography with lower limb venography in 68 patients referred for investigation of clinical deep vein thrombosis, and with the results of ventilation/perfusion isotope scans in 125 patients with suspected pulmonary embolism. Impedance plethysmography had a sensitivity of 100% and
