RIGHT VENTRICULAR AND PULMONARY HYPERTENSION IN CHRONIC OBSTRUCTIVE PULMONARY DISEASE AND RESTRICTIVE LUNG DISEASE

Jurnal Kedokteran Diponegoro, 2020
Background: Chronic lung disease is frequently associated with lung vascular lesion. We evaluated the structural-functional related changes of right ventricle under CLD with or without PH at RSUP dr. Kariadi, Semarang.

Race-specific spirometry equations may overestimate asthma control in Black children and adolescents

Respiratory Research, 2023
Background A growing body of evidence suggests that use of race terms in spirometry reference equations underestimates disease burden in Black populations, which may lead to disparities in pulmonary disease outcomes.

Oscillometric assessment of bronchodilator response in horses with severe asthma during remission

Equine Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Background During clinical remission of severe equine asthma (SEA), affected animals can be challenging to distinguish from healthy horses. In humans, the degree of bronchodilation achieved with a β2‐adrenergic bronchodilator is helpful in differentiating asthmatics from healthy subjects.

Characterization of Pulmonary Functional Abnormalities in Systemic Sclerosis Using Xenon MRI

Journal of Magnetic Resonance Imaging, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Xenon MRI is increasingly used to evaluate patients with interstitial lung disease (ILD) and pulmonary hypertension (PH), both of which are common manifestations of systemic sclerosis (SSc). As such, Xe‐MRI may be suited to interrogate lung function impairment in SSc.

Home Spirometry for Post-COVID Recovery: A Clinical Validation Study of an Ultrasonic Device

Diagnostics
Background/Objectives: Patients recovering from COVID-19 often experience persistent respiratory symptoms, necessitating pulmonary function monitoring. While clinical spirometry is the gold standard, home spirometry offers a remote alternative.

Longitudinal 1H and 129Xe Lung MRI in Patients With Post‐COVID Residual Lung Abnormalities

Journal of Magnetic Resonance Imaging, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background It is unclear how lung function may recover in patients with residual lung abnormalities (RLAs) following COVID‐19 pneumonia. Purpose To evaluate lung function trends over time in patients with RLAs following hospitalization due to COVID‐19. Study Type Prospective, multicenter longitudinal cohort study.

Knowledge and practice of spirometry among pediatricians in Riyadh, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia

Annals of Thoracic Medicine, 2008
Background: Spirometry is the most basic, widely used and effort-dependent pulmonary function test. It assesses the lung volumes and flows, and is ideally suited to describe the effects of restriction or obstruction on lung function.

Improving Equity of Care for Culturally and Linguistically Diverse Patients: Utilising Multilingual Software to Support Breath‐Hold Breast Radiation Therapy

Journal of Medical Radiation Sciences, EarlyView.
A 22% breath‐hold failure and exclusion rate highlighted major communication barriers for CALD breast radiotherapy patients. In response, a multilingual app was developed to deliver translated coaching for DIBH and EBH in seven languages, improving health equity within the local health district through early education, patient‐friendly FAQs, and ...

Bronchial Mucosal Abnormalities in Idiopathic Subglottic Stenosis

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
Idiopathic subglottic stenosis (iSGS) is a challenging variant of airway stenosis associated with consistent distal airway abnormalities on bronchoscopy, including pits, depressions, and striations. Despite these findings, most patients demonstrate normal or mild–moderate obstruction on spirometry.
