Identifying Patterns of Hospitalizations Among Childhood Cancer Survivors: A Population‐Based Study

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Childhood cancer survivors (CCSs) experience more hospitalizations than the general population. We aimed to identify distinct hospitalization patterns among Queensland CCSs and the associated characteristics. Methods Cases (aged ≤14 years) diagnosed between 1995 and 2019 while residents of Queensland were identified through the ...

Alveolar cell composition in interstitial lung disease and the development of a pulmonary progressive fibrosing phenotype: a retrospective cohort study

Respiratory Research
Background Immunological bronchoalveolar lavage (iBAL) is a frequently employed diagnostic tool in interstitial lung disease (ILD). The association between iBAL cellular composition and disease progression remains elusive.

Persistence of alveolar fibroblast-derived ADAMTS4+ cells in a preclinical model of delayed pulmonary fibrosis resolution

Nature Communications
Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis is the most common and aggressive form of interstitial lung disease. Despite extensive research on the pathomechanisms of fibrogenesis, little is known about the mechanisms of fibrosis resolution.
