A Systematic Review of the Variability of Ventilation Defect Percent Generated From Hyperpolarized Noble Gas Pulmonary Magnetic Resonance Imaging

Journal of Magnetic Resonance Imaging, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Hyperpolarized (HP) gas pulmonary MR ventilation images are typically quantified using ventilation defect percent (VDP); however, the test‐retest variability of VDP has not been systematically established in multi‐center trials. Herein, we perform a systematic review of the test‐retest literature on the variability of VDP, and similar metrics,

Randomized Cross-Over Analysis of the Influence of Nitrogen Multiple Breath Washout on Spirometry in Monitoring Lung Function in Patients With Cystic Fibrosis and Primary Ciliary Dyskinesia. [PDF]

Pediatr Pulmonol
ABSTRACT Background When monitoring lung function in patients with Cystic Fibrosis (pwCF) and Primary Ciliary Dyskinesia (pwPCD), nitrogen multiple breath washout (N2MBW) is usually performed before spirometry to prevent forced expiratory maneuvers from altering N2MBW results. The N2MBW may affect spirometry if cooperation decreases after a long period

Functional Pulmonary Imaging

Journal of Magnetic Resonance Imaging, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The aging of the world population gave rise to an increased prevalence of many lung diseases, with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease now ranking as the third‐leading cause of death according to the World Health Organization. To diagnose lung disease, a thorough assessment of lung function is essential since it may reveal unique signatures ...

Evaluating Respiratory Complications Following Cytoreductive Surgery and Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy With Subphrenic Peritonectomy Versus Full Thickness Diaphragm Resection

Journal of Surgical Oncology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background and Objectives Patients with diaphragm tumor deposits undergoing cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) require subphrenic peritonectomy (SPP) or full‐thickness diaphragm resection (FTR) to achieve complete cytoreduction.

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.
