CD8+T lymphocytes in bronchoalveolar lavage in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis
(2007)Background. Recently it was shown that in Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF) tissue infiltrating CD8+ T lymphocytes (TLs) are associated with breathlessness and physiological indices of disease severity, as well as that ... -

The Impact of Homogeneous Versus Heterogeneous Emphysema on Dynamic Hyperinflation in Patients with Severe COPD Assessed for Lung Volume Reduction
(2015)Dynamic hyperinflation (DH) is a pathophysiologic hallmark of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of emphysema distribution on DH during a maximal cardiopulmonary ... -
Impaired Cardiovascular Response to Exercise in Patients with Severe Asthma: A Case-Control Study
(2022)Background: Although asthmatics may present reduced exercise capacity, data on their cardiovascular responses during exercise testing have been scarcely investigated. The aim of this pilot case-control study is to test: ... -

The Medical Research Council chronic dyspnea score predicts the survival of patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis
(2008)Background: The Medical Research Council (MRC) chronic dyspnea scale (6-point) is used in different clinical conditions to grade breathlessness on daily activities. We have previously shown that in patients with histologically ... -
Pulmonary function abnormalities in young adults with thalassemia major
(1997)Thalassemia seems to be the most common genetic disorder. The pathophysiologic mechanisms for lung impairment is not clear. Lung function tests in children showed small airway obstruction and restrictive lung changes. ... -
Pulmonary function and circulating adhesion molecules in patients with diabetes mellitus
(2003)Background: Lung function in diabetes has been reported in several studies with contradictory results. Diabetes mellitus increases expression of adhesion molecules through hyperglycemia. These molecules play an important ... -
Small airways’ function in Obstructive Sleep Apnea-Hypopnea Syndrome
(2021)Introduction and objectives: Most of the studies of the pathophysiology of Obstructive Sleep Apnea-Hypopnea Syndrome (OSAHS) focus on the collapsibility and obstruction of the upper airways. The aim of our study was the ...
