Inflammatory, fibrotic and endothelial biomarker profiles in COVID-19 patients during and following hospitalization.

Scientific reports
Survivors of severe COVID-19 often suffer from long-term respiratory issues, but the molecular drivers of this damage remain unclear. This study explored the dynamics of inflammatory, fibrotic, and endothelial biomarkers in hospitalized COVID-19 pati...

Imaging and pulmonary function techniques in ARDS diagnosis and management: current insights and challenges.

Critical care (London, England)
Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) is a life-threatening condition characterized by acute onset of respiratory failure, which presents significant challenges in diagnosis and management. Its heterogeneity, with diverse underlying aetiologies ...

Machine-Learning-Based Computed Tomography Radiomics Regression Model for Predicting Pulmonary Function.

Academic radiology
RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES: Chest computed tomography (CT) radiomics can be utilized for categorical predictions; however, models predicting pulmonary function indices directly are lacking. This study aimed to develop machine-learning-based regression ...

Automated AI-based image analysis for quantification and prediction of interstitial lung disease in systemic sclerosis patients.

Respiratory research
BACKGROUND: Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is a rare connective tissue disease associated with rapidly evolving interstitial lung disease (ILD), driving its mortality. Specific imaging-based biomarkers associated with the evolution of lung disease are need...

Prognostic value of a composite physiologic index developed by adding bronchial and hyperlucent volumes quantified via artificial intelligence technology.

Respiratory research
BACKGROUND: The composite physiologic index (CPI) was developed to estimate the extent of interstitial lung disease (ILD) in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) patients based on pulmonary function tests (PFTs). The CALIPER-revised version of the CPI...

BreathVisionNet: A pulmonary-function-guided CNN-transformer hybrid model for expiratory CT image synthesis.

Computer methods and programs in biomedicine
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) has high heterogeneity in etiologies and clinical manifestations. Expiratory Computed tomography (CT) can effectively assess air trapping, aiding in disease diagnosis. However, du...

Impact of upper extremity robotic rehabilitation on respiratory parameters, functional capacity and dyspnea in patients with stroke: a randomized controlled study.

Neurological sciences : official journal of the Italian Neurological Society and of the Italian Society of Clinical Neurophysiology
BACKGROUND: Stroke leads to reduced mobility and functional capacity, also negatively affects respiratory functions and muscle strength.
