Automatic Emphysema Detection using Weakly Labeled HRCT Lung Images [PDF]

, 2017
A method for automatically quantifying emphysema regions using High-Resolution Computed Tomography (HRCT) scans of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) that does not require manually annotated scans for training is presented. HRCT scans of controls and of COPD patients with diverse disease severity are acquired at two different ...

Indices Of Airway Function In In-Season Collegiate Swimmers Over Eight Weeks [PDF]

, 2018
The repeated exposure to disinfectant by-products in swimming pool environments may worsen pulmonary function and contribute to symptoms of exercise induced bronchoconstriction (EIB) in swimmers.

A tidal lung simulation to quantify lung heterogeneity with the Inspired Sinewave Test [PDF]

IEEE, EMBC2020, 2020
We have created a lung simulation to quantify lung heterogeneity from the results of the inspired sinewave test (IST). The IST is a lung function test that is non-invasive, non-ionising and does not require patients' cooperation. A tidal lung simulation is developed to assess this test and also a method is proposed to calculate lung heterogeneity from ...

If it does not help, it might hurt: Pharmacodynamics of a second IVIg course in Guillain–Barré syndrome

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
Abstract Objectives Intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIg) is an effective treatment for Guillain–Barré syndrome (GBS), but recovery varies between patients. This study aims to evaluate the pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD) of a single and a second IVIg dose (SID) in patients with GBS.

Lung volumes identify an at-risk group in persons with prolonged secondhand tobacco smoke exposure but without overt airflow obstruction. [PDF]

, 2018
IntroductionExposure to secondhand smoke (SHS) is associated with occult obstructive lung disease as evident by abnormal airflow indices representing small airway disease despite having preserved spirometry (normal forced expiratory volume in 1 s-to ...

Clinical Phenotyping of Long COVID Patients Evaluated in a Specialized Neuro‐COVID Clinic

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective To report Long COVID characteristics and longitudinal courses of patients evaluated between 4/14/21–4/14/22 at the University of Pennsylvania Neurological COVID Clinic (PNCC), including clinical symptoms, neurological examination findings, and neurocognitive screening tests from a standardized PNCC neurological evaluation approach ...

Pulmonary function testing in infants with tetralogy of Fallot and absent pulmonary valve syndrome

Annals of Pediatric Cardiology, 2015
Aim: Absent pulmonary valve syndrome (APVS) is found in 3-6% of patients with Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF). Along with findings of TOF, absence of pulmonary valve tissue results in aneurysmal dilatation of the main and branch pulmonary arteries compressing ...

Universal Proteomic Signature After Exercise‐Induced Muscle Injury in Muscular Dystrophies

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Several neuromuscular disorders (NMDs) are characterized by progressive muscle damage and are marked by the elevation of circulating muscle proteins from activity‐related injury. Despite a diverse array of genetic drivers, many NMDs share similar patterns of exercise intolerance and higher concentrations of muscle injury proteins ...

Should routine pulmonary function tests be performed in patients with left ventricular dysfunction and/or congestive heart failure undergoing cardiac surgery?

Journal of Cardiothoracic Surgery
Background It is controversial whether pulmonary function testing should be performed routinely in cardiac surgery patients. The aim of our study was to focus on patients who have congestive heart failure, caused by left ventricular dysfunction or left ...
