Association of FcγRIIa R131H polymorphism with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis severity and progression [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Background A significant genetic component has been described for idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). The R131H (rs1801274) polymorphism of the IgG receptor FcγRIIa determines receptor affinity for IgG subclasses and is associated with several chronic ...

Alveolar cells under mechanical stressed niche: critical contributors to pulmonary fibrosis

open access: yesMolecular Medicine, 2020
Pulmonary fibrosis arises from the repeated epithelial mild injuries and insufficient repair lead to over activation of fibroblasts and excessive deposition of extracellular matrix, which result in a mechanical stretched niche.

Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis

open access: yesMedicina Clínica (English Edition), 2022
Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis is defined as a chronic progressive fibrosing interstitial pneumonia of unknown etiology. There are intrinsic and extrinsic risk factors that could favor the development of the disease in individuals with a genetic predisposition.

Pirfenidone in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis:expert panel discussion on the management of drug-related adverse events [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Pirfenidone is currently the only approved therapy for idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, following studies demonstrating that treatment reduces the decline in lung function and improves progression-free survival.

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 rehabilitation in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis and COPD: a propensity matched real-world study [PDF]

open access: yes, 2021
BACKGROUND: The adherence to and clinical efficacy of pulmonary rehabilitation in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), particularly in comparison to people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), remains uncertain.

Surfactant protein a in cystic fibrosis: supratrimeric structure and pulmonary outcome. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
The state of oligomerization of surfactant associated protein-A (SP-A) monomers differs between individuals. This likely affects SP-A's functional properties and could thereby influence clinical status in patients with lung diseases.

Use of ivacaftor in late diagnosed cystic fibrosis monozygotic twins heterozygous for F508del and R117H-7T – a case report

open access: yesBMC Pulmonary Medicine, 2019
Background CFTR modulator therapy with ivacaftor is a treatment option for Cystic Fibrosis (CF) patients with at least one copy of a R117H-7T mutation in the CFTR gene.
