An authoritative algorithm most appropriate for the prediction of pulmonary embolism in patients with AECOPD

Respiratory Research, 2020
Background Contemporarily authoritative algorithms for the prediction of acute pulmonary embolism (PE) comprise the Standard algorithm, the Age-adjusted algorithm, the YEARS algorithm, the PERC algorithm, and the PEGeD algorithm. To date, little is known

Serum resistin as an asthma marker and predictor of inhaled corticosteroid response in bronchial asthma in children

Egyptian Journal of Chest Disease and Tuberculosis, 2017
Adipokines are factors produced by adipose tissue, that may be proinflammatory (such as leptin and resistin) or anti-inflammatory (such as adiponectin). Effects of these adipokines on the lungs have the potential to evoke or exacerbate asthma.

Interventional bronchoscopy in malignant central airway obstruction by extra-pulmonary malignancy

BMC Pulmonary Medicine, 2018
Background Interventional bronchoscopy is considered an effective treatment option for malignant central airway obstruction (MCAO). However, there are few reports of interventional bronchoscopy in patients with MCAOs due to extra-pulmonary malignancy ...

Gene expression analysis in asthma using a targeted multiplex array

BMC Pulmonary Medicine, 2017
Background Gene expression changes in the structural cells of the airways are thought to play a role in the development of asthma and airway hyperresponsiveness.

Restrictive spirometric pattern and true pulmonary restriction in a general population sample aged 50 - 64 years

BMC Pulmonary Medicine, 2020
Background There is low diagnostic accuracy of the proxy restrictive spirometric pattern (RSP) to identify true pulmonary restriction. This knowledge is based on patients referred for spirometry and total lung volume determination by plethysmograpy ...

Continuous exercise induces airway epithelium damage while a matched-intensity and volume intermittent exercise does not

Respiratory Research, 2019
Background While continuous exercise (CE) induces greater ventilation ( V̇ $$ \dot{V} $$ E) when compared to intermittent exercise (IE), little is known of the consequences on airway damage.

The HDL from septic-ARDS patients with composition changes exacerbates pulmonary endothelial dysfunction and acute lung injury induced by cecal ligation and puncture (CLP) in mice

Respiratory Research, 2020
Background Septic-acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), characterized by the acute lung injury (ALI) secondary to aberrant systemic inflammatory response, has high morbidity and mortality.

The influence of leptin on Th1/Th2 balance in obese children with asthma

Jornal Brasileiro de Pneumologia, 2013
OBJECTIVE: In individuals with asthma, obesity induces the production of leptin and is associated with disease severity. Our objective was to evaluate the levels of serum leptin and their effect on Th1/Th2 balance in obese and non-obese children with ...
