Critical role for iron accumulation in the pathogenesis of fibrotic lung disease [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
Increased iron levels and dysregulated iron homeostasis, or both, occur in several lung diseases. Here, the effects of iron accumulation on the pathogenesis of pulmonary fibrosis and associated lung function decline was investigated using a combination ...

Physical activity and activity space in patients with pulmonary fibrosis not prescribed supplemental oxygen

open access: yesBMC Pulmonary Medicine, 2017
Background Patients with pulmonary fibrosis (PF) have impaired quality of life, and research suggests that dyspnea and physical activity are primary drivers. As PF progresses, some patients notice the disease “shrinks their worlds”. The objective of this

Tuftelin1 drives experimental pulmonary fibrosis progression by facilitating stress fiber assembly

open access: yesRespiratory Research, 2023
Background Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a progressive interstitial lung disease (ILD) with unknown etiology, characterized by sustained damage repair of epithelial cells and abnormal activation of fibroblasts, the underlying mechanism of the ...

Tracking dyspnea up to supplemental oxygen prescription among patients with pulmonary fibrosis

open access: yesBMC Pulmonary Medicine, 2017
Background Dyspnea is the hallmark symptom of pulmonary fibrosis. Supplemental oxygen (O2) is prescribed to many patients with pulmonary fibrosis in hopes of alleviating dyspnea and improving physical functioning.

Obstructive sleep apnea and nocturnal hypoxemia in adult patients with cystic fibrosis

open access: yesBMC Pulmonary Medicine, 2022
Background Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), nocturnal hypoxemia and excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) are common comorbidities in people with cystic fibrosis (pwCF). Most of the data showing this originates from children and adolescents.

Pulmonary Fibrosis in COVID-19 Survivors: Predictive Factors and Risk Reduction Strategies

open access: yesPulmonary Medicine, 2020
Although pulmonary fibrosis can occur in the absence of a clear-cut inciting agent, and without a clinically clear initial acute inflammatory phase, it is more commonly associated with severe lung injury.

Imaging diagnosis-computed tomography of traction bronchiectasis secondary to pulmonary fibrosis in a Patterdale Terrier [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
An 8-year-old, Patterdale terrier was referred for evaluation of tachypnoea, exercise intolerance, and weight loss. Computed tomographic images showed pneumomediastinum, diffuse pulmonary ground glass opacity, and marked dilatation of peripheral bronchi,
