Introduction. Uncontrolled bronchial asthma (BA) increases risk of hospitalizations, future exacerbations and decreases quality of life; factors improving the probability to achieve BA control are under study.Methods and materials. The open prospective study included 104 patients of three groups: ch...

Abstract Ventilation heterogeneity is a hallmark of asthma. This study examines the feasibility of phase‐resolved functional lung magnetic resonance imaging (PREFUL MRI) in the evaluation of ventilation heterogeneity in severe asthma, its response to bronchodilator, and correlation with spirometry....

Chest-Wall-Strapping (CWS), a technique forcing the lung to operate at low volumes, is a model for an oversized lung allograft. Dynamic-dysanapsis describes airway dilation mediated by increased elastic recoil from CWS. We hypothesized that Dynamic-dysanapsis can be quantified via the Dysanapsis-Rat...

Patients with systemic sclerosis (SSc) are at an increased risk of developing interstitial lung disease (ILD) and esophageal dysfunction, with frequently present esophageal dilatation. Our study aimed to investigate the relationship between esophageal diameter (ED) analyzed on high-resolution com...

In experimental settings, hystotoxic catecholamine doses depress cardiomyocyte contractility, induce arrhythmia, and heart arrest. Edema and hemorrhages in lung tissue and myocardium, myocardial hemomicrocirculation disturbances, significantly disturbed CO2, O2 partial pressure, and blood pH, plus i...

This article explores changes in pulmonary function in patients who underwent lung decortication as a method of treating complications caused by post-pneumonic pleurisy. It is emphasized that complications such as post-pneumonic pleurisy may lead to the formation of pulmonary fibrosis, which results...

ObjectiveAlthough AIP is a recognized cardiovascular risk marker, its association with pulmonary function and sex-specific differences remains unclear. This study investigated whether elevated AIP is independently associated with reduced lung function and examined potential sex-specific patterns.Met...

The study investigated effectiveness and safety of a cytoprotector mexicor in patients with chronic cor pulmonale (CCP). All participants (n=56; age 38-80 years) were divided into four groups. Group I (n=16) received a standard pulmonary therapy, while Group II (n=20) also received mexicor (300 mg/d...

Objective: The cyclic GMP-AMP synthase (cGAS)-stimulator of interferon (IFN) genes (STING) signaling pathway has been implicated in the initiation and maintenance of a variety of inflammatory diseases. Thus, the search for modulators of the cGAS-STING signaling pathway is likely to contribute to the...
