A formula for predicting emphysema extent in combined idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis and emphysema

Respiratory Research
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

Pulmonary interstitial emphysema presenting in a woman on the intensive care unit: case report and review of literature

Journal of Medical Case Reports, 2011
Introduction Pulmonary interstitial emphysema is a life-threatening form of ventilator-induced lung injury. We present one of the few reported adult cases of pulmonary interstitial emphysema in a woman with respiratory failure admitted to our intensive ...

Anterolateral‐Thigh Fascia Lata Free Flap Versus Fibula Free Flap for Mandibular Osteoradionecrosis

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
The anterolateral thigh fascia lata “rescue” free flap has been employed as a novel tool in the treatment of advanced partial thickness mandibular osteoradionecrosis. Compared with the traditional fibula free flap for the same indication, the “rescue” flap provides similar outcomes in terms of disease resolution, superior functional outcomes, and ...

Endoplasmic reticulum stress and the unfolded protein response in lung diseases: molecular pathways and therapeutic interventions

The Journal of Pathology, EarlyView.
Abstract Endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS) occurs when the protein‐folding capacity of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is overwhelmed, triggering the unfolded protein response (UPR) to restore homeostasis. However, severe or persistent ERS can shift the UPR toward pro‐inflammatory, apoptotic, and fibrotic signaling, thereby exacerbating tissue injury ...

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.

Matrikines are key regulators in modulating the amplitude of lung inflammation in acute pulmonary infection [PDF]

, 2015
Bioactive matrix fragments (matrikines) have been identified in a myriad of disorders, but their impact on the evolution of airway inflammation has not been demonstrated.

Novel Therapeutics for Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease: From Empirical Bronchodilation to Precision Medicine

Respirology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) remains the third leading cause of death worldwide, and conventional bronchodilator‐based therapies have limited efficacy in preventing exacerbations and disease progression. The 2024–2026 period represents a historic inflection point: three mechanistically distinct agents received Food and Drug ...

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
