Risk factors for the development of lung cancer in a cohort of adult smokers
(SOC MEDICA SANTIAGO, 2016)
Background: Identifying risk factors for lung cancer in the population could improve the cost-effectiveness of early detection programs using thoracic computed tomography (CT). Aim: To examine the risk factors of lung ...
Amicus or adversary: platelets in lung biology, acute injury, and inflammation
(American Thoracic Society, 2019)
Impaired lung function in individuals chronically exposed to biomass combustion
(ACADEMIC PRESS INC ELSEVIER SCIENCESAN DIEGO, 2012)
Background: The use of biomass for cooking and heating is considered an important factor associated with respiratory diseases. However, few studies evaluate the amount of particulate matter less than 2.5 mu in diameter ...
Interplay between the morphometry of the lungs and the mode of locomotion in birds and mammals
(Sociedad de Biología de Chile, 2007)
Respiratory function in patients post-infection by COVID-19: a systematic review and meta-analysis
(Elsevier, 2021)
Background: Evidence suggests lungs as the organ most affected by coronavirus disease 2019
(COVID-19). The literature on previous coronavirus infections reports that patients may experience
persistent impairment in ...
Collapsibility of Lung Volume by Paired Inspiratiory and Expiratory CT Scans: Correlations with Lung Function and Mean Lung Density
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE INC, 2010)
Rationale and Objectives: To evaluate the relationship between measurements of lung volume (LV) on inspiratory/expiratory computed tomography (CT) scans, pulmonary function tests (PFT), and CT measurements of emphysema in ...
Obstructive lung disease and exposure to burning biomass fuel in the indoor environment
(Elsevier, 2012)
It is estimated that up to one-half of the world’s population burns biomass fuel (i.e., wood, crop residues, animal dung, and coal) for indoor uses such as cooking, lighting, and heating. As a result, a large proportion ...
Bilateral lung transplantation in asymmetric thorax: Case reports
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE INC, 2008)
Suppurative lung diseases, such as cystic fibrosis and bronchiectasis, when diffuse and associated with important functional loss, can be treated with bilateral lung transplantation with good results. These diseases are ...
Reference values for lung function tests: I. Static volumes
(Associação Brasileira de Divulgação Científica, 1999-06-01)
Static lung volume (LV) measurements have a number of clinical and research applications; however, no previous studies have provided reference values for such tests using a healthy sample of the adult Brazilian population. ...
