Inflammation to Pulmonary Diseases [PDF]
Mediators of Inflammation, 2016 Inflammation, which is induced and perpetuated by microorganism pathogens or from the damage or death of host cells, is an essential component of various common respiratory diseases, such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), asthma, bronchiectasis, and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), as well as of less common ones, for example ...

Arginase and pulmonary diseases [PDF]
Naunyn-Schmiedeberg's Archives of Pharmacology, 2008 Recent studies have indicated that arginase, which converts L-arginine into L-ornithine and urea, may play an important role in the pathogenesis of various pulmonary disorders. In asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and cystic fibrosis, increased arginase activity in the airways may contribute to obstruction and hyperresponsiveness of ...

COgnitive-Pulmonary Disease [PDF]
BioMed Research International, 2014 Over the past few decades, chronic obstructive lung disease (COPD) has been considered a disease of the lungs, often caused by smoking. Nowadays, COPD is regarded as a systemic disease. Both physical effects and effects on brains, including impaired psychological and cognitive functioning, have been demonstrated.

Autophagy and pulmonary disease [PDF]
Therapeutic Advances in Respiratory Disease, 2019 Autophagy is a process of cell self-renewal that is dependent on the degradation of the cytoplasmic proteins or organelles of lysosomes. Many diseases, such as metabolic diseases, cancer, neurodegenerative diseases, and lung diseases, have been confirmed to be associated with elevated or impaired levels of autophagy.

Pulmonary Diseases and Corticosteroids [PDF]
The Indian Journal of Pediatrics, 2008 Steroids (corticosteroids) are anti-inflammatory drugs. Corticosteroids are used in many pulmonary conditions. Corticosteroids have a proven beneficial role in asthma, croup (Laryngotracheobronchitis), decreasing the risk and severity of respiratory distress syndrome (RDS), allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis, interstitial lung disease, hemangioma ...

Parameter inference in a computational model of hemodynamics in pulmonary hypertension [PDF]
, 2021 Pulmonary hypertension (PH), defined by a mean pulmonary arterial pressure (mPAP) $>$ 20 mmHg, is characterized by increased pulmonary vascular resistance and decreased pulmonary arterial compliance. There are few measurable biomarkers of PH progression, but a conclusive diagnosis of the disease requires invasive right heart catheterization (RHC ...
