A semi-automated segmentation method for detection of pulmonary embolism in True-FISP MRI sequences [PDF]
arXiv, 2017 Pulmonary embolism (PE) is a highly mortal disease, currently assessed by pulmonary CT angiography. True-FISP MRI has emerged as an innocuous alternative that does not hold many of the limitations of x-ray imaging. However, True-FISP MRI is very sensitive to turbulent blood flow, generating artifacts that may resemble fake clots in the pulmonary ...

Contemporary Concise Review 2024: Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
Respirology, EarlyView.SUMMARY OF KEY POINTS Non‐smoking COPD is common in LMICs, especially in women. Biomass fuel and air pollution are major risk factors with distinct pathophysiology. The ‘eosinophilic’ endotype in COPD is biologically distinct from asthma. PRISm, FEV1/FVC Z‐scores, and quantitative CT improve early COPD detection.

Interleukin 4, but not interleukin 5 or eosinophils, is required in a murine model of acute airway hyperreactivity. [PDF]
, 1996 Reversible airway hyperreactivity underlies the pathophysiology of asthma, yet the precise mediators of the response remain unclear. Human studies have correlated aberrant activation of T helper (Th) 2-like effector systems in the airways with disease. A

ILC2 Diversity, Location, and Function in Pulmonary Disease
Immunological Reviews, Volume 332, Issue 1, July 2025.ABSTRACT Type‐2 inflammation is driven by the production of canonical type‐2 cytokines IL‐4, IL‐5, and IL‐13. Type‐2 cytokines promote mucus production, innate immune cell recruitment, and smooth muscle contractility in mucosal tissues. These hallmarks of type‐2 inflammation are important contributors to the weep‐and‐sweep responses observed in the ...

In the absence of CD154, administration of interleukin-12 restores Th1 responses but not protective immunity to Schistosoma mansoni [PDF]
, 2007 The cytokine interplay during the development of protective immunity to the radiation-attenuated (RA) schistosome vaccine has been extensively characterized over recent years, yet the role of costimulatory molecules in the development of cell-mediated ...

Cigarette smoking and acute eosinophilic pneumonia: insights from a case series of 17 patients [PDF]
Kosin Medical JournalBackground Acute eosinophilic pneumonia (AEP) is a rare and severe lung condition characterized by a rapid accumulation of eosinophils in the alveoli, leading to respiratory distress. This study analyzed the clinical characteristics of affected patients,

FIP1L1‐PDGFRA Positive Chronic Eosinophilic Leukemia Presenting With Vestibular Neuritis
Clinical Case Reports, Volume 13, Issue 6, June 2025.ABSTRACT Myeloproliferative neoplasms are disorders of stem cells that result in excessive proliferation of one or more myeloid progenitors. We report a rare finding of chronic eosinophilic leukemia with a rearrangement of the PDGFRA gene in a 53‐year‐old male patient presenting with symptoms suggestive of vestibular neuritis.

Clinical and Translational Allergy, Volume 15, Issue 6, June 2025.Abstract Introduction There are limited data on the relationship between eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) and asthma. We aimed to assess the risk of asthma in EoE patients compared with matched controls and siblings. Methods Through the ESPRESSO study, a Swedish nationwide population‐based histopathology cohort, we identified EoE patients diagnosed ...
