Risk factors of severe coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) have been previously reported; however, histological risk factors have not been defined thus far. The aim of this study was to clarify subclinical hid...
Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a chronic and progressive disorder with unknown etiology. To date, the identification of new diagnostic, prognostic and progression biomarkers of IPF turns out to be nece...
Lung function analysis in Parkinson's disease (PD) is often difficult due to the demand for adequate forced expiratory maneuvers. Respiratory oscillometry exams require onlyquiet tidal breathing and provide a ...
Bronchoscopic lung volume reduction (LVR) could significantly improve pulmonary function and quality of life in patients with emphysema. We aimed to assess the efficacy and safety of bronchoscopic thermal vapo...
Antigen identification impacts diagnosis as well as prognosis in patients with hypersensitivity pneumonitis. An antigen may also be present in other etiologies of interstitial lung disease, however it is unkno...
As a result of advances in the treatment of lung cancer, the life expectancy of lung cancer patients has improved significantly, but it remains the leading cause of cancer death worldwide. For decades, most of...
The immunity of patients with lung cancer decreases after treatment; thus, they are easily infected with pathogenic bacteria that causes pulmonary infections. Understanding the distribution characteristics of ...
Lymph node dissection is essential for staging of pure solid lung adenocarcinoma and selection of treatment after surgical resection, particularly for stage I disease since the rate of lymph node metastasis ca...
Tuberculous effusion varies from lymphocyte-dominant to neutrophilic effusion according to inflammation status. The criteria of adenosine deaminase (ADA) and lymphocyte/neutrophil (L/N) ratio have yet not been...
