Biomarkers for Pulmonary Inflammation and Fibrosis and Lung Ventilation Function in Chinese Occupational Refractory Ceramic Fibers-Exposed Workers.

International journal of environmental research and public health
Refractory ceramic fibers (RCFs) can cause adverse health effects on workers' respiratory system, yet no proper biomarkers have been used to detect early pulmonary injury of RCFs-exposed workers. This study assessed the levels of two biomarkers that ...

Dietary antioxidants and 10-year lung function decline in adults from the ECRHS survey.

The European respiratory journal
The relationship between lung function decline and dietary antioxidants over 10 years in adults from three European countries was investigated.In 2002, adults from three participating countries of the European Community Respiratory Health Survey (ECR...

Efficacy and safety of inhaled N-acetylcysteine in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis: A prospective, single-arm study.

Respiratory investigation
BACKGROUND: Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a progressive lung disease with few treatment options. The efficacy of N-acetylcysteine in patients with IPF remains controversial. The aim of this research was to investigate the efficacy of inhaled...

Association of Deep Learning-based Chest CT-derived Respiratory Parameters with Disease Progression in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis.

Radiology
Background Forced vital capacity (FVC) is a standard measure of respiratory function in patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) but has limitations, particularly for patients with bulbar impairment. Purpose To determine the value of deep le...

Area under the expiratory flow-volume curve: predicted values by regression and deep learning methods and recommendations for clinical practice.

BMJ open respiratory research
BACKGROUND: In spirometry, the area under expiratory flow-volume curve (AEX-FV) was found to perform well in diagnosing and stratifying physiologic impairments, potentially lessening the need for complex lung volume testing. Expanding on prior work, ...
