A 72-Year-Old Woman With Multiple Pulmonary Nodules and a History of Malignancy
(2021)A 72-year-old woman, nonsmoker, presented with approximately 2 months of nonproductive cough. The cough was initially intermittent, occurred more regularly during bedtime, but gradually became more frequent throughout the ... -
Anti-C1q autoantibodies are frequently detected in patients with systemic sclerosis associated with pulmonary fibrosis
(2019)Background: Anti-C1q autoantibodies (autoAbs) are associated with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), but their presence in other rheumatic diseases has not been adequately investigated. Objectives: We aimed to assess ... -
Application of a One-Dimensional Computational Model for the Prediction of Deposition from a Dry Powder Inhaler
(2017)Background: Accurate prediction of the regional deposition of inhaled dry powders as a function of powder properties and breathing pattern is a long-term research goal for pulmonary drug delivery. In the present work, ... -
Clinical and laboratory features of children with community-acquired pneumonia are associated with distinct radiographic presentations
(2018)Chest radiographs from children with community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) were categorized into three distinct presentations and each presentation was correlated to clinical and laboratory findings. Children < 59 months ... -
Clinical validation of the LKB model and parameter sets for predicting radiation-induced pneumonitis from breast cancer radiotherapy
(2006)The choice of the appropriate model and parameter set in determining the relation between the incidence of radiation pneumonitis and dose distribution in the lung is of great importance, especially in the case of breast ... -
Computed tomography-based radiomics decodes prognostic and molecular differences in interstitial lung disease related to systemic sclerosis
(2022)BACKGROUND: Radiomic features calculated from routine medical images show great potential for personalised medicine in cancer. Patients with systemic sclerosis (SSc), a rare, multiorgan autoimmune disorder, have a similarly ... -
COVID-19 associated pulmonary embolism with D-dimer values within the referent range: A case report and review of the literature
(2021)OBJECTIVE: COVID-19 is associated with an increased incidence of pulmonary embolism (PE). Elevated D-dimer levels are linked to an increased risk of PE and poor clinical outcome. We reported a case of PE in a COVID-19 ... -
Direct detection of Clostridium sordellii in pleural fluid of a patient with pneumonic empyema by a broad-range 16S rRNA PCR
(2007)We report the case of a 56-y-old male admitted with a left-sided post-pneumonic empyema. Clostridium sordellii DNA was directly detected in its pleural fluid by a broad-range 16S rRNA PCR, after 24 h of specimen collection. ... -
Effects of combined administration of doxorubicin and chloroquine on lung pathology in mice with solid Ehrlich ascites carcinoma
(2022)Combined use of a chemotherapeutic agent and an autophagy inhibitor is a novel cancer treatment strategy. We investigated the effects of chloroquine (CQ) on lung pathology caused by both solid Ehrlich ascites carcinoma ... -
Endocan and the respiratory system: A review
(2016)Endocan, formerly called endothelial cell-specific molecule 1, is an endothelial cell-associated proteoglycan that is preferentially expressed by renal and pulmonary endothelium. It is upregulated by proangiogenic molecules ... -
First-Time Detection of Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome Virus and Porcine Circovirus 2 in an Albanian Farrow-to-Finish Herd
(2018)The purpose of this case report is to describe for the first time concurrent porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) and porcine circovirus 2 (PCV-2) infections in a commercial farrow-to-finish pig farm ... -
Histopathological Lesions Accompanied with First-Time Isolation of a PRRSV-2 Strain in Greece
(2020)Genotype 2 strains of Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome Virus (PRRSV-2) have been reported sporadically in Europe. Even if, PRRSV-2 reported to be genetically homogenous in Europe due to the introduction of an ... -
Hypoxia Inducible Factor-1alpha and Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor in Biopsies of Small Cell Lung Carcinoma
(2009)Neoangiogenesis has been documented in small cell lung carcinoma (SCLC). In addition, antiangiogenic therapies are being tested in clinical trials that involve SCLC. However, study of the underlying mechanisms has been ... -
In vivo effectiveness of injectable antibiotics on the recovery of acute actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae-infected pigs
(2019)The aim of this trial was to evaluate the in vivo effectiveness of injectable antibiotics of one-or two-dose administration on recovery of acute App (Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae)-infected pigs. Ninety pigs with moderate ... -
Increased monocyte count and red cell distribution width as prognostic biomarkers in patients with Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis
(2021)Background: Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF) represents a chronic lung disease with unpredictable course. Methods: We aimed to investigate prognostic performance of complete blood count parameters in IPF. Treatment-naïve ... -
Intra-Abdominal Hypertension Causes Bacterial Growth in Lungs: An Animal Study
(2017)To study the effect of intra-abdominal hypertension (IAH) on the frequency of pneumonia with an experimental study, thirteen Sprague-Dawley rats were included. Eight out of thirteen animals were randomly assigned to receive ... -
Lung cancer in patients with Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis. A retrospective multicenter study in Greece
(2020)Background: Abundant evidence supports an association between Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF) and lung cancer development. Data on diagnosis and management of patients with IPF and lung cancer are still scarce. Patients ... -
Major vault protein/lung resistance related protein: A novel biomarker for rheumatoid arthritis
(2021)Objective Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) can lead to joint destruction and early institution of effective treatment can preserve joint function. Biomarkers can establish early diagnosis and predict effect of treatment. Vault ... -
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 ... -
A multicenter, open-label, comparative study of B-cell depletion therapy with Rituximab for systemic sclerosis-associated interstitial lung disease
