MicroRNAs in pulmonary arterial remodeling [PDF]
Pulmonary arterial remodeling is a presently irreversible pathologic hallmark of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). This complex disease involves pathogenic dysregulation of all cell types within the small pulmonary arteries contributing to vascular ...

Autophagy in Pulmonary Diseases [PDF]
The pathogenesis of pulmonary diseases is often complex and characterized by multiple cellular events, including inflammation, cell death, and cell proliferation. The mechanisms by which these events are regulated in pulmonary diseases remain poorly understood.

The Effects of Inhaled Steroid and Theophylline on Systemic Inflammation in Copd
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a systemic disease characterized by chronic, progressive airflow limitation and airway inflammation. In this study, our aim is to compare the effects of inhaled corticosteroids and theophylline on systemic ...

Chronic Thromboembolic Pulmonary Hypertension: A Review of the Multifaceted Pathobiology
Chronic thromboembolic pulmonary disease results from the incomplete resolution of thrombi, leading to fibrotic obstructions. These vascular obstructions and additional microvasculopathy may lead to chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH ...

Pulmonary Vessel Segmentation based on Orthogonal Fused U-Net++ of Chest CT Images [PDF]
Pulmonary vessel segmentation is important for clinical diagnosis of pulmonary diseases, while is also challenging due to the complicated structure. In this work, we present an effective framework and refinement process of pulmonary vessel segmentation from chest computed tomographic (CT) images.

Relationship between ID1 and EGFR-TKI Resistance in Non-small Cell Lung Cancer
Background and objective Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) presents the highest morbidity and mortality among malignant tumors worldwide. The overall effective rate of epidermal growth factor receptor-tyrosine kinase inhibitor (EGFR-TKI) is 30% to 40 ...

Topology Repairing of Disconnected Pulmonary Airways and Vessels: Baselines and a Dataset [PDF]
Accurate segmentation of pulmonary airways and vessels is crucial for the diagnosis and treatment of pulmonary diseases. However, current deep learning approaches suffer from disconnectivity issues that hinder their clinical usefulness. To address this challenge, we propose a post-processing approach that leverages a data-driven method to repair the ...

Multimedia Respiratory Database (RespiratoryDatabase@TR): Auscultation Sounds and Chest X-rays [PDF]
Auscultation is a method for diagnosis of especially internal medicine diseases such as cardiac, pulmonary and cardio-pulmonary by listening the internal sounds from the body parts. It is the simplest and the most common physical examination in the assessment processes of the clinical skills.
