Diagnosing and mapping pulmonary emphysema on X-ray projection images [PDF]
, 2013 To assess whether grating-based X-ray dark-field imaging can increase the sensitivity of X-ray projection images in the diagnosis of pulmonary emphysema and allow for a more accurate assessment of emphysema distribution.

Pathogenesis of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease [PDF]
, 2005 The current paradigm for the pathogenesis of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is that chronic airflow limitation results from an abnormal inflammatory response to inhaled particles and gases in the lung. Airspace inflammation appears to be different

Models of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease [PDF]
, 2004 Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a major global health problem and is predicted to become the third most common cause of death by 2020. Apart from the important preventive steps of smoking cessation, there are no other specific treatments ...

Local lung responses following endobronchial elastase and lipopolysaccharide instillation in sheep [PDF]
, 2006 Chronic lipopolysaccharide (LPS) exposure may contribute to the pathogenesis of a number of lung diseases including COPD and emphysema. We sought to develop a large-animal model of emphysema using repeated LPS administration into sheep lung segments.

Pulmonary Comorbidities of Lung Emphysema
대한영상의학회지, 2018 Pulmonary emphysema is defined as the “abnormal permanent enlargement of the airspaces distal to the terminal bronchioles accompanied by destruction of the alveolar wall and without obvious fibrosis.” Pulmonary emphysema could result in various ...

Pulmonary Rehabilitation in Emphysema [PDF]
Proceedings of the American Thoracic Society, 2008 Abstract Pulmonary rehabilitation is an established treatment for patients with chronic lung disease. Benefits include improvement in exercise tolerance, symptoms, and quality of life, with a reduction in the use of health care resources.

Pharmaceutics, 2020 Rationale: Mutation in the alpha1 antitrypsin (AAT) gene leads to low circulating levels of AAT, which is associated with several disease processes including pulmonary emphysema. The standard of care relies on substitution with plasma-purified AAT.
