The biologics omalizumab, mepolizumab, benralizumab, and dupilumab have similar effectiveness in improving lung function in severe asthma.

Researchers at National Jewish Health have shown that subtle increases in lung scarring, detected by an artificial intelligence-based tool on CT scans taken one year apart, are associated with disease ...

Mosaic attenuation was seen in 73% of adolescents with PHIV and bronchiectasis was observed in 39%, most of whom also had mosaic attenuation. Adolescents with perinatally acquired HIV (PHIV) have a ...

Credit: Getty Images The road to race-neutral pulmonary function testing has been long and evolving; now, ATS recommends this approach and a Boston hospital offers an implementation model. In July, ...

Objective To compare the effect of combined spinal fusion (anteroposterior) on pulmonary function in patients with scoliosis secondary to Marfan syndrome versus neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) at ...

My recent pulmonary function test (PFT) results indicated a decline in all the areas it measured. That’s not unusual for me. In the spring, my PFT numbers had declined, as well, leading to a diagnosis ...

Abstract: A critical task in forced oscillation technique (FOT), a promising lung function test, is to remove respiratory artefacts. Manual removal by specialists is widely used but time- consuming ...

Significant gaps persist, however, in the implementation of race-neutral PFT equations in the United States and worldwide, because race has long been embedded in PFT interpretation. Moreover, the ...

Evaluation for pulmonary hypertension (PH) in patients with cancer must include either lung ventilation/perfusion scan or dual-energy computed tomography of the chest to evaluate for acute and/or ...

Objectives To examine changes in cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors, lung function and clinical laboratory markers among people who smoke who used e-cigarettes to reduce their cigarette smoking ...

At 12 weeks, patients treated with ENV-101 showed statistically significant increases in lung volume compared with those receiving placebo. IPF is a progressive, fatal lung disease characterized by ...
