Prediction of disease progression, treatment response and dropout in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Drug development in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) has been characterised by unacceptably high failure rates. In addition to the poor sensitivity in forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1), numerous causes are known to contribute to ...

Brain Damage and Motor Cortex Impairment in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease: Implication of Nonrapid Eye Movement Sleep Desaturation [PDF]

open access: yesSLEEP, American Academy of Sleep Medicine, 2016, 39 (2), pp.327 - 335, 2017
Nonrapid eye movement (NREM) sleep desaturation may cause neuronal damage due to the withdrawal of cerebrovascular reactivity. The current study (1) assessed the prevalence of NREM sleep desaturation in nonhypoxemic patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and (2) compared a biological marker of cerebral lesion and neuromuscular ...

Ubiquitination of transcription factors in cancer: unveiling therapeutic potential

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
In cancer, dysregulated ubiquitination of transcription factors contributes to the uncontrolled growth and survival characteristics of tumors. Tumor suppressors are degraded by aberrant ubiquitination, or oncogenic transcription factors gain stability through ubiquitination, thereby promoting tumorigenesis.

Deep learning automated quantification of lung disease in pulmonary hypertension on CT pulmonary angiography: A preliminary clinical study with external validation [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2023
Purpose: Lung disease assessment in precapillary pulmonary hypertension (PH) is essential for appropriate patient management. This study aims to develop an artificial intelligence (AI) deep learning model for lung texture classification in CT Pulmonary Angiography (CTPA), and evaluate its correlation with clinical assessment methods.
