Respiratory mechanics do not always mirror pulmonary histological changes in emphysema
(Faculdade de Medicina / USP, 2011)
OBJECTIVE: To verify the accordance of functional and morphometric parameters during the development of emphysema. METHODS: BALB/c mice received a nasal drop of either papain or saline solution and were studied after 1, ...
Mesenchymal stromal cells-based therapy in a murine model of elastase-induced emphysema: Simvastatin as a potential adjuvant in cellular homing
(2021-10-01)
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease - COPD is characterized by the destruction of alveolar walls associated to a chronic inflammatory response of the airways. There is no clinical therapy for COPD. In this context, ...
Altered distribution of peripheral blood dendritic cell subsets in patients with pulmonary paracoccidioidomycosis
(2017-09-01)
Paracoccidioidomycosis (PCM) is a systemic mycosis caused by fungi from the genus Paracoccidioides in Latin America. PCM-patients (PCM-p) are classified as having acute/subacute or chronic (CF) clinical forms. CF is ...
C-reactive protein levels in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease Proteína C reactiva en la EPOC y su relación con la gravedad de la enfermedad, las exacerbaciones y las comorbilidades
(2012)
Background: Patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) have elevated serum levels of ultrasensitive C reactive protein (CRPus). This raise may be related directly to COPD and its associated systemic ...
Aerobic exercise attenuates pulmonary injury induced by exposure to cigarette smoke
(EUROPEAN RESPIRATORY SOC JOURNALS LTDSHEFFIELD, 2012)
It has recently been suggested that regular exercise reduces lung function decline and risk of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) among active smokers; however, the mechanisms involved in this effect remain poorly ...
Emphysema model in rats exposed to tobacco smoke. Morphometric and functional analysis
(UANL. Facultad de Medicina, 2016)
Lung volume reduction surgery: an overview
(Associação Médica Brasileira, 2010)
This study intends to review the literature on the efficacy, safety and feasibility of lung volume reduction surgery (LVRS) in patients with advanced emphysema. Studies on LVRS from January 1995 to December 2009 were ...
Incomplete fissures in severe emphysematous patients evaluated with MDCT: Incidence and interobserver agreement among radiologists and pneumologists
(ELSEVIER IRELAND LTDCLARE, 2012)
Objective: Pulmonary fissures completeness predicts efficacy in endobronchial valves (EBV) implantation, a new lobar volume reduction therapy for severe emphysematous patients. We assessed the incidence of incomplete ...

High intensity exercise training worsens alveolar destruction in pulmonary emphysema rats
(2014)
OBJECTIVE: Investigation of standard intensities of physical exercise is important to better comprehend and develop rehabilitation programs for emphysema. We aimed to evaluate the effects of different intensities (moderate ...
