Evaluation of HRCT Patterns in Systemic Sclerosis-associated Interstitial Lung Disease
Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is a heterogeneous systemic autoimmune disease with distinct prognosis according to patients. Interstitial lung disease (ILD) concerns almost 50 % of SSc patients and represents the main cause of mortality. SSc-ILD is variable: from limited forms (with asymptomatic patients) to extensive lesions. Disease course in SSc-ILD is …
Thrombo Embolic Events in Hospitalized Patients With Covid-19 Serious Acute Pneumopathy
The understanding of haemostasis and inflammation cross-talk has gained considerable knowledge during the past decade in the field of arterial and venous thrombosis. Complex and delicately balanced interaction between coagulation and inflammation involve all cellular and humoral components. Elements of the coagulation system such as activated thrombin, fibrinogen or factor …
Self-efficacy and Well-being of Patients With Fibrotic Interstitial Lung Disease
Patients with fibrotic insterstitial lung disease (ILD) participating in inpatient rehabilitation or in outpatient pulmonary care will be invited to participate in this observational study. Patients will fill out questionnaire regarding quality of life and symptoms at baseline and follow-up (at the end of rehabilitation or after the second outpatient …
Drug Exposure and Minimum Inhibitory Concentration in the Treatment of MAC Lung Disease
The incidence and prevalence of nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) infections have gradually increased over the years worldwide (1-3). In China, Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC) was the most prevalent NTM specie (4), while challenged by long treatment duration, frequent drug-induced adverse events, lack of treatment alternatives, poor treatment outcome and high recurrence …
Effects of Pulmonary Diseases and Their Treatment on Cardiac Function
While the bidirectional relationship between the lung and the right heart are well studied, the cardiopulmonary interactions between the lung and the left heart are largely unresearched and not well understood. However, in recent years, there is a growing evidence that partially explains the bidirectional interaction between COPD and left …
Prospective Cohort of Patients With Fibrosing Interstitial Lung Disease Admitted for Acute Respiratory Failure
This prospective, multicenter study focuses on patients with fibrosing interstitial lung diseases (ILD) admitted to intensive care units (ICUs) for acute respiratory failure (ARF). ILD encompasses a group of heterogeneous disorders characterized by progressive fibrotic and inflammatory damage to the lung interstitium, often resulting in chronic respiratory failure. Acute respiratory …
Radiologic Features of Rheumatoid Arthritis Interstitial Lung Disease at Chest High Resolution Computed Tomography
Lung involvement is one of the most frequent extra articular involvements of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). RA related lung involvement can affect parenchyma, airway, vascular tree and serosa. Among all possible manifestations of lung disease, interstitial lung disease is the most severe being able to compromise quality of life and survival …
World Trade Center Particulate Matter Induced Cardiorespiratory and Vascular Dysfunction: a MultiOmic Approach (CaRVD)
Particulate matter (PM) associated cardiorespiratory and vascular dysfunction (CaRVD) poses a significant global health burden. The World Trade Center (WTC) destruction on September 11, 2001 led to an intense deposition of particulate matter (WTC-PM) into aerodigestive system. WTC associated morbidities include respiratory, gastrointestinal, chronic rhinosinusitis, cancer, mental health concerns and …
Lung Disease and Its Affect on the Work of White Blood Cells in the Lungs
The purpose of this study is to look at how Alpha-1-antitrypsin (AAT) deficiency and Cystic Fibrosis (CF) affect white blood cells in the lungs, called macrophages, and their ability to work.
Evaluation of Antigen-specific T Cells in Patients With Antisynthetase Syndrome and Interstitial Lung Disease
Antisynthetase syndrome (AS) is a rare overlapping myositis characterized by cellular and humoral autoimmune responses directed against aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases. Intesrtitial lung disease (ILD) is a leading cause of mortality in antisynthetase syndrome. Recently, antigen-specific IFN-γ+ CD4+ T cells have been identified in bronchoalveolar fluid (BAL) of patients with antisynthetase syndrome …
