Interpretation of HRCT Scans in the Diagnosis of IPF: Improving Communication Between Pulmonologists and Radiologists. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a progressive fibrosing interstitial lung disease (ILD). In this review, we describe the central role of high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) in the diagnosis of IPF and discuss how communication between ...

Development and Validation of a Clinical Scoring System Predicting 30‐Day Mortality in Acute Exacerbation of Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis

open access: yesRespirology, EarlyView.
A scoring system using eight clinical variables was developed and validated to predict 30‐day mortality in acute exacerbation of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. The model showed good performance in both derivation and validation cohorts, providing a practical bedside tool for early risk stratification.

Sequencing of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis-related genes reveals independent single gene associations [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
BACKGROUND: Previous studies investigating a genetic basis for idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) have focused on resequencing single genes in IPF kindreds or cohorts to determine the genetic contributions to IPF.

Comprehensive gene expression profiling identifies distinct and overlapping transcriptional profiles in non-specific interstitial pneumonia and idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis

open access: yesRespiratory Research, 2018
Background The clinical-radiographic distinction between idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) and non-specific interstitial pneumonia (NSIP) is challenging. We sought to investigate the gene expression profiles of IPF and NSIP vs. normal controls. Methods

Dyskeratosis Congenita Showing Usual Interstitial Pneumonia.

open access: yesInternal Medicine, 1994
A 46-year-old man was admitted to our hospital with cough and dyspnea on exertion. A chest X-ray film showed diffuse interstitial shadows. He had hyperpigmentation forming a network pattern around his neck and dystrophy of the fingernails and toenails, and was diagnosed as having dyskeratosis congenita.

Comparison of three groups of patients with usual interstitial pneumonia [PDF]

open access: yesRespiratory Medicine, 2012
To determine the clinical characteristics and outcomes of patients with lungdominant connective tissue disease (LD-CTD) with a usual interstitial pneumonia (UIP) who do not meet the criteria for any form of CTD, and to compare these parameters with those of patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF/UIP) and CTD-associated-UIP.We conducted a ...

Microplastics in Human Bronchoalveolar Lavage Fluid

open access: yesRespirology, EarlyView.
We established a microplastic detection method using bronchoalveolar lavage fluid. The method detected microplastics, particularly those under 10 μm, in all patients, linked to lung and systemic inflammation. The potential relationship between microplastics and lung and systemic inflammation provides a foundation for larger studies on their health ...

A Case of Combined Sarcoidosis and Usual Interstitial Pneumonia

open access: yesInternal Medicine, 2012
Sarcoidosis is a systemic granulomatous disease of unknown etiology with characteristic pulmonary lesions, which are often distributed in the upper lung fields. We describe a unique case of sarcoidosis with lower lung field-dominant reticular shadows. Three years after the diagnosis of sarcoidosis based on histologic findings of the mediastinal lymph ...
