Clinical progress note: Pertussis
Abstract Pertussis, commonly known as whooping cough, is a vaccine‐preventable respiratory disease with rising incidence due to declining vaccination rates and waning immunity. The most severe disease course is seen in unvaccinated or incompletely vaccinated infants less than 2 months of age, accounting for the largest burden of hospitalization and ...

A formula for predicting emphysema extent in combined idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis and emphysema
Background No single pulmonary function test captures the functional effect of emphysema in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). Without experienced radiologists, other methods are needed to determine emphysema extent. Here, we report the development and

Combined pulmonary fibrosis and emphysema syndrome: a radiologic perspective
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (that includes emphysema) results in significant morbidity and mortality worldwide. Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is also a chronic and progressive parenchymal lung disease with an average survival of less than

ABSTRACT The aging of the world population gave rise to an increased prevalence of many lung diseases, with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease now ranking as the third‐leading cause of death according to the World Health Organization. To diagnose lung disease, a thorough assessment of lung function is essential since it may reveal unique signatures ...

ABSTRACT The low proton density and high signal decay rate of pulmonary tissue have previously hampered the application of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in the clinical evaluation of lung disorders. With the continuing technical advances in scanners, coils, pulse sequences, and image postprocessing, pulmonary MRI can provide structural and ...

Age‐Dependent Correlation of Pulmonary Function Impairment and Aortic Arch Stiffness in Mice
This study examined the relationship between aortic arch stiffness and lung function in aging mice. Multiple linear regression modeling showed moderate to strong correlations between the rise in aortic arch stiffness and changes in lung function as the mice progressively aged.

ABSTRACT Model‐based meta‐analysis allows integration of aggregated‐level data (AD) from different clinical trials in one model to assess population efficacy/safety. However, AD is limited in individual‐level information, while individual‐patient‐level data (IPD) are hard to obtain. Combined modeling may take advantage of both sources.

Pulmonary Vascular Volume by Quantitative CT in Dyspneic Smokers with Minor Emphysema
Reduced lung diffusing capacity for carbon monoxide (DLCO) at rest and increased ventilation (⩒E)-carbon dioxide output (⩒CO2) during exercise are frequent findings in dyspneic smokers with largely preserved FEV1.
