Numerical predictions of shear stress and cyclic stretch in the healthy pulmonary vasculature [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 Isolated post-capillary pulmonary hypertension (Ipc-PH) occurs due to left heart failure, which contributes to 1 out of every 9 deaths in the United States. In some patients, through unknown mechanisms, Ipc-PH transitions to combined pre-/post-capillary PH (Cpc-PH), diagnosed by an increase in pulmonary vascular resistance and associated with a ...

A cavitating pulmonary lesion with eosinophilia [PDF]
Thorax, 2012 A middle-aged individual of Ethiopian origin attended the emergency department with haemoptysis. The patient had no other significant medical problems and had not travelled for several years. The patient drank moderately and did not smoke but later admitted to chewing khat (a narcotic leaf) frequently over the past 6 months.

Airway Eosinophilia on Bronchoalveolar Lavage and the Risk of Exacerbations in COPD
Biomedicines, 2022 The associations between airway eosinophilia, measured in sputum or peripheral blood, and acute exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD) are inconsistent.

Veterinary Record Case Reports, EarlyView.Abstract This case series describes aural lesions occurring in five African giant pouched rats (Cricetomys ansorgei) residing at a single zoological institution in southern California. Age of onset ranged from 3 to 7 years. Lesions occurred as single or multiple masses on one or both ears. A single case also developed a nasal mass.

Low-dose intestinal Trichuris muris infection alters the lung immune microenvironment and can suppress allergic airway inflammation [PDF]
, 2016 Immunological cross talk between mucosal tissues such as the intestine and the lung is poorly defined during homeostasis and disease. Here, we show that a low-dose infection with the intestinally restricted helminth parasite Trichuris muris results in ...

Pulmonary biology of anti-interleukin 5 antibodies
Memorias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 1997 Interleukin 5 (IL-5) is a critical cytokine for the maturation of eosinophil precursors to eosinophils in the bone marrow and those eosinophils then accumulate in the lungs during asthma. We have studied anti IL-5 antibodies on allergic responses in mice,

Exacerbation and Cardiovascular Events in Eosinophilic Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
Tokyo Women's Medical University Journal, 2023 Background: Eosinophilia is often observed in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), but the influence of eosinophilia on the clinical outcomes of patients with COPD is unknown.

SGDA: Towards 3D Universal Pulmonary Nodule Detection via Slice Grouped Domain Attention [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death worldwide. The best solution for lung cancer is to diagnose the pulmonary nodules in the early stage, which is usually accomplished with the aid of thoracic computed tomography (CT). As deep learning thrives, convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have been introduced into pulmonary nodule detection to ...
