Desaturation - distance ratio: a new concept for a functional assessment of interstitial lung diseases
(Faculdade de Medicina / USP, 2010)
INTRODUCTION: The functional evaluation has become increasingly important in the understanding and management of patients with interstitial lung diseases. The cardiopulmonary exercise test and the six-minute walk test ...
Persistent interstitial lung abnormalities in post-covid-19 patients: A case series
(2021-01-01)
A new concept of multisystem disease has emerged as a long-term condition following mild-severe COVID-19 infection. The main symptoms of this affection are breathlessness, chest pain, and fatigue. We present here the ...
Small Airway Remodeling in Idiopathic Interstitial Pneumonias: A Pathological Study
(KARGER, 2010)
Background: Few studies have addressed small airway (SA) histopathological changes and their possible role in the remodeling process in idiopathic interstitial pneumonias. Objectives: To study morphological, morphometrical ...
Syndrome in question: Antisynthetase syndrome (anti-PL-7)

A long-term prospective randomized controlled study of non-specific interstitial pneumonia (NSIP) treatment in scleroderma
(SPRINGER LONDON LTD, 2011)
The association of cyclophosphamide (CYC) and prednisone (PRED) for the treatment of lung fibrosis in systemic sclerosis (SSc) was only evaluated in uncontrolled studies, although in idiopathic interstitial lung disease ...
Centrilobular Fibrosis: An Underrecognized Pattern in Systemic Sclerosis
(KARGER, 2009)
Background: The impressive association of lung involvement and gastroesophageal reflux in scleroderma raises the possibility of a cause-effect relationship. Objectives: To determine clinical, radiological and histopathological ...
Lymphatic fluctuation in the parenchymal remodeling stage of acute interstitial pneumonia, organizing pneumonia, nonspecific interstitial pneumonia and idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis
(ASSOC BRAS DIVULG CIENTIFICASAO PAULO, 2012)
Because the superficial lymphatics in the lungs are distributed in the subpleural, interlobular and peribroncovascular interstitium, lymphatic impairment may occur in the lungs of patients with idiopathic interstitial ...
Usual interstitial pneumonia and smoking-related interstitial fibrosis display epithelial to mesenchymal transition in fibroblastic foci
(W B Saunders Co Ltd, 2014-09-01)
Background: Fibroblastic foci (FF) are a major histological feature of usual interstitial pneumonia (UIP) in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) and collagen vascular diseases (non-IPF). In addition, FF are occasionally ...
