Clinical outcomes of radial probe endobronchial ultrasound using a guide sheath for diagnosis of peripheral lung lesions in patients with pulmonary emphysema

Respiratory Research, 2019
Background Generally, structural destruction of lung parenchyma, such as pulmonary emphysema, is considered to be related to the low diagnostic yields and high complication rates of lung biopsies of peripheral lung lesions.

Dose‐dependent association of systemic comorbidities with periodontitis severity: A large population cross‐sectional study

Journal of Periodontology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background To examine whether the associations between periodontitis and multiple systemic conditions increase with increasing severity of periodontitis using a multi‐center electronic health record (EHR) repository. Methods A cross‐sectional analysis was conducted using EHR data from 9 dental schools in the United States.

Combined pulmonary fibrosis and emphysema syndrome: a radiologic perspective

Monaldi Archives for Chest Disease, 2015
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

Impact of Environmental and Seasonal Factors on Spontaneous Pneumomediastinum With and Without Pneumorrhachis

The Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Spontaneous pneumomediastinum (SPM) with pneumorrhachis is rare but generally benign and self‐limiting. However, the impact of environmental and seasonal factors on SPM remains unclear. This study investigated their association with SPM onset and clinical outcomes.

Oxymatrine Inhibits Epithelial‐Mesenchymal Transition to Alleviate Airway Remodeling in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease by Suppressing the TGF‐β1/Smad Pathway

The Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study explored the therapeutic efficacy of oxymatrine (OMT, C15H24N2O2) in a murine model of cigarette smoke (CS)‐induced chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and elucidated its underlying mechanisms. A COPD model was established in mice through prolonged exposure to CS, followed by intraperitoneal administration of OMT (50 mg/kg)

Pulmonary Vascular Volume by Quantitative CT in Dyspneic Smokers with Minor Emphysema

COPD, 2023
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.

A Low Peripheral Blood CD4/CD8 Ratio Is Associated with Pulmonary Emphysema in HIV. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2017
The prevalence of emphysema is higher among HIV-infected (HIV+) individuals compared to HIV-uninfected persons. While greater tobacco use contributes, HIV-related effects on immunity likely confer additional risk.

Epidemiology, genetics, and subtyping of preserved ratio impaired spirometry (PRISm) in COPDGene. [PDF]

, 2014
BackgroundPreserved Ratio Impaired Spirometry (PRISm), defined as a reduced FEV1 in the setting of a preserved FEV1/FVC ratio, is highly prevalent and is associated with increased respiratory symptoms, systemic inflammation, and mortality.
