Postmortem submergence interval (PMSI) and human decomposition in anthropogenically constructed aqueous environments (pools, bathtubs, hot tubs, and spas)

Journal of Forensic Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract Postmortem decomposition changes of bodies in aquatic environments may offer valuable insights into the postmortem submergence interval (PMSI) for medicolegal death investigators. However, the effects of immersion on the onset of such changes are poorly understood.

The inspiratory capacity/total lung capacity ratio as a predictor of survival in an emphysematous phenotype of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. [PDF]

, 2015
BackgroundForced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1) grades severity of COPD and predicts survival. We hypothesize that the inspiratory capacity/total lung capacity (IC/TLC) ratio, a sensitive measure of static lung hyperinflation, may have a ...

Quantitative Dual‐Energy CT Perfusion Versus SPECT/CT V/Q Scintigraphy for Preoperative Lung Function Assessment: A Prospective Cohort Study

Journal of Medical Imaging and Radiation Oncology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Accurate preoperative physiological assessment is critical for high‐risk patients undergoing lung resection to predict postoperative lung function. This study compared quantitative dual‐energy CT (DECT) perfusion with SPECT/CT for lobar perfusion mapping in an at‐risk oncological cohort.

The Alpha‐1 Pi*MZ Genotype Is an Independent Risk Factor for Hepatocellular Carcinoma Development in Patients With ACLD

Alimentary Pharmacology &Therapeutics, EarlyView.
Alpha‐1 antitrypsin deficiency is a genetic disease that affects the lungs and the liver. The role of the heterozygous genetic defect in the development of liver cancer in patients with cirrhosis is unclear. Our study found that carrying the Pi*MZ genotype increases the risk of developing liver cancer.

Mexidol protection of the glutathione-derived enzyme system of the blood in experimental pulmonary emphysema

Infusion & Chemotherapy
BACKGROUND. The paper presents an analysis of literature data on the glutathione-dependent enzyme system, the results of the authors' own studies on disorders in it, and the effect of mexidol in experimental pulmonary emphysema. OBJECTIVE.

Spirometric assessment of emphysema presence and severity as measured by quantitative CT and CT-based radiomics in COPD

Respiratory Research, 2019
Background The mechanisms underlying airflow obstruction in COPD cannot be distinguished by standard spirometry. We ascertain whether mathematical modeling of airway biomechanical properties, as assessed from spirometry, could provide estimates of ...

Meta‐Analysis: Prevalence and Incidence of Gastroparesis Following Lung or Heart Transplantation

Alimentary Pharmacology &Therapeutics, EarlyView.
Gastroparesis occurs in nearly one‐third of lung and heart‐lung transplant recipients (pooled prevalence 31.9%; incidence 25.7%), driven by surgical complexity, perioperative opioid exposure, and diagnostic criteria. Standardized gastric emptying assessment and multidisciplinary management, including opioid minimization, immunosuppressant optimization,

Severe pulmonary hypertension due to combined pulmonary fibrosis and emphysema: another cause of death among smokers

Autopsy and Case Reports, 2017
In 2005, the combined pulmonary fibrosis and emphysema (CPFE) was first defined as a distinct entity, which comprised centrilobular or paraseptal emphysema in the upper pulmonary lobes, and fibrosis in the lower lobes accompanied by reduced diffused ...
