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 ... -
Aldehyde dehydrogenase 1B1: Molecular cloning and characterization of a novel mitochondrial acetaldehyde-metabolizing enzyme
(2010)Ethanol-induced damage is largely attributed to its toxic metabolite, acetaldehyde. Clearance of acetaldehyde is achieved by its oxidation, primarily catalyzed by the mitochondrial class II aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH2). ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
Dexamethasone has a biphasic effect on the c-Jun m-RNA expression in the fetal and adult rat lung, in vivo
(1999)Glucocorticoids are a very potent therapy for the treatment of asthma as well for lung maturation in the prematurely newborn animals and human. It has been demonstrated that glucocorticoid receptors antagonize the actions ... -

(1999)Glucocorticoids are a very potent therapy for the treatment of asthma as well for lung maturation in the prematurely newborn animals and human. It has been demonstrated that glucocorticoid receptors antagonize the actions ... -
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 ... -
Efficacy of an AS03 A-adjuvanted split H5N1 influenza vaccine against an antigenically distinct low pathogenic H5N1 virus in pigs
(2012)We used the pig model of influenza to examine the efficacy of an AS03 A-adjuvanted split H5N1 (A/Indonesia/05/2005) vaccine against challenge with a low pathogenic (LP) H5N1 avian influenza (AI) virus (duck/Minnesota/1525/1981) ... -
Electron density of tissues and breast cancer radiotherapy: A quantitative CT study
(1998)Purpose: To obtain more accurate data on the electron density of tissues to be used in the treatment planning of breast cancer patients. Methods and materials: Single kV(p) quantitative computed tomography was applied in ... -
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 ... -
Field evaluation of a live vaccine against porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome in fattening pigs
(1999)A live vaccine based on a European isolate of porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (Porcilis PRRS) was tested in this study in order to determine the protection of fattening pigs against the respiratory form ... -
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 ... -
Helicobacter pylori infection and gastric cancer biology: tempering a double-edged sword
(2019)Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection affects an estimated 4.4 billion people globally. Moreover, H. pylori presents the most significant risk factor for gastric cancer and low-grade mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue ... -
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 ... -
