Pathogenesis of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) induced by cigarette smoke.

Journal of Thoracic Disease, 2019
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a common respiratory disease that is characterized by functional and structural alterations primarily caused by long-term inhalation of harmful particles. Cigarette smoke (CS) induces airway inflammation in

Cell Calcification Models and Their Implications for Medicine and Biomaterial Research

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Calcification, is the process by which the tissues containing minerals are formed, occurring during normal physiological processes, or in pathological conditions. Here, it is aimed to give a comprehensive overview of the range of cell models available, and the approaches taken by these models, highlighting when and how methodological divergences arise,

Acute and Chronic Effects of Smoking on Inflammation Markers in Exhaled Breath Condensate in Current Smokers [PDF]

, 2010
Background: Long-term cigarette smoking is associated with pulmonary inflammation, but the acute effects of smoking have been less well studied. Analysis of the exhaled breath condensate (EBC) can provide noninvasive markers that might be indicative of ...

Biologics and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease [PDF]

Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology, 2018
The presence of airway inflammation in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) provides a rationale for biological agents targeting specific inflammatory pathways. This approach has been strikingly effective in patients with other chronic inflammatory diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis, and asthma.

A Computational Journey Toward an Optimal Design for Metamaterial Epicardial Passive Sleeves

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Passive epicardial sleeves are evaluated in 3D in‐silico heart models to reveal how sleeve geometry, stiffness, anisotropy, and metamaterial architecture influence cardiac mechanics after myocardial infarction. A continuum‐to‐auxetic design exploration shows that region‐specific mechanical engagement can reduce infarct bulging and modulate torsional ...

Multi-morbidities are Not a Driving Factor for an Increase of COPD-Related 30-Day Readmission Risk [PDF]

, 2020
Background and Objective: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is the third leading cause of death in the United States. COPD is expensive to treat, whereas the quality of care is difficult to evaluate due to the high prevalence of multi ...

The GOLD Summit on chronic obstructive pulmonary disease in low- and middle-income countries.

The International Journal of Tuberculosis and Lung Disease, 2019
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is one of the top three causes of death worldwide, but governments and non-governmental organisations have not given its prevention and treatment the priority it requires. This is particularly true in low- and

Decellularized Extracellular Matrix Scaffolds to Engineer the Dormant Landscape of Microscopic Colorectal Cancer Liver Metastasis

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Decellularized liver extracellular matrix scaffolds provide a platform to study dormant liver‐metastatic colorectal cancer. They induce reversible dormancy, in combination with nutrient depletion and low dose chemotherapy, through cell cycle arrest and chemotherapy resistance.

Unraveling the Complexities of Coagulation Dysfunction in Acute Exacerbation of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease: Investigating the Interplay between Infection, Hypercapnia and Hemostatic Abnormalities

Life and Science
Objective: To understand how the acute exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) can lead to coagulation dysfunctions causing hemostatic abnormalities (prolonged prothrombin time, slightly longer activated partial thromboplastin time,
