Attention based CNN-LSTM Network for Pulmonary Embolism Prediction on Chest Computed Tomography Pulmonary Angiograms [PDF]

arXiv, 2021
With more than 60,000 deaths annually in the United States, Pulmonary Embolism (PE) is among the most fatal cardiovascular diseases. It is caused by an artery blockage in the lung; confirming its presence is time-consuming and is prone to over-diagnosis.

A cluster of heritable pulmonary arterial hypertension cases in a family with all three siblings carrying the same novel AQP1 c.273C>G variant‐a case report

Pulmonary Circulation, 2023
Approximately 25%–30% of patients diagnosed with idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) have a clustered underlying Mendelian genetic cause and should be classified as heritable PAH (HPAH).

Usefulness of the Medical Research Council (MRC) dyspnoea scale as a measure of disability in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease

Thorax, 1999
BACKGROUND Methods of classifying chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) depend largely upon spirometric measurements but disability is only weakly related to measurements of lung function. With the increased use of pulmonary rehabilitation, a need

A Topological Data Analysis Study on Murine Pulmonary Arterial Trees with Pulmonary Hypertension [PDF]

arXiv, 2022
Pulmonary hypertension (PH), defined by a mean pulmonary arterial blood pressure above 20 mmHg, is a cardiovascular disease impacting the pulmonary vasculature. PH is accompanied by vascular remodeling, wherein vessels become stiffer, large vessels dilate, and smaller vessels constrict.

Pulmonary rehabilitation for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, 2015
BACKGROUND Widespread application of pulmonary rehabilitation (also known as respiratory rehabilitation) in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) should be preceded by demonstrable improvements in function (health-related quality of life ...

Case report: A finding of PVOD and PAH in first degree relatives suggests shared heritable risk and overlapping features of both pulmonary vascular diseases

Respirology Case Reports
Pulmonary veno‐occlusive disease (PVOD) is a rare form of pulmonary vascular disease that is difficult to distinguish clinically from pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH).

The effect of N-acetylcysteine in patients with non-cystic fibrosis bronchiectasis (NINCFB): study protocol for a multicentre, double-blind, randomised, placebo-controlled trial

BMC Pulmonary Medicine, 2022
Background N-acetylcysteine (NAC), which is specifically involved in airway mucus clearance and antioxidation, is recommended by the treatment guideline for non-cystic fibrosis bronchiectasis (NCFB). However, there is little clinical evidence of its long-
