Mar 24th, 2023 - Cystatin SN, encoded by CST1, belongs to the type 2 (T2) cystatin protein superfamily. In the past decade, several publications have highlighted the association between cystatin SN and inflammatory airway diseases including chronic rhinosinusitis,...

Feb 24th, 2023 - The ILD-GAP scoring system has been widely used to predict the prognosis of patients with interstitial lung disease (ILD). The ability of the ILD-GAP scoring system combined with the Charlson Comorbidity Index score (CCIS) (ILD-GAPC) to predict IL...

Feb 17th, 2023 - Transbronchial cryobiopsies (TBCB) for the diagnosis of interstitial lung disease (ILD) have shown promising results but prospective studies with matched surgical lung biopsy (SLB) yielded conflicting results. We aimed to assess within- and betwee...

Feb 13th, 2023 - Background:Hypersensitivity pneumonitis (HP) is an interstitial lung disease that develops after inhalation of organic or inorganic antigens in susceptible individuals. The nasal mucosa is constantly exposed to these antigens that can irritate the...

Jan 30th, 2023 - Hypersensitivy pneumonitis (HP) are chronic respiratory diseases due to frequent exposure to high quantities of allergens (molds, bacteria, mycobacteria, avian proteins). In case of domestic HP, patients are exposed at home to molds due to floodin...

Jan 13th, 2023 - FIBRALUNG is a prospective cohort study with biobank of samples from patients with pulmonary fibrosis, aiming to explore the molecular determinants of different clinical outcomes, acute exacerbations and mortality. We expect to gain deeper insight...

Jan 11th, 2023 - Hypersensitivity pneumonitis is an immunologically mediated form of lung disease, resulting from inhalation exposure to a large variety of antigens. For unknown reasons, a subgroup of patients with HP without a known inciting antigen exposure deve...

Jan 9th, 2023 - The purpose of this study is to evaluate the potential benefits and the safety of treatment with pirfenidone compared to placebo in subjects with FHP. STUDY SUMMARY This study will include about 42 subjects at National Jewish Health. This is a "do...

Apr 19th, 2022 - Poor cough-specific quality of life (QOL) was independently associated with respiratory hospitalization, death, and lung transplantation in a large population of well-characterized patients with interstitial lung disease (ILD), new research shows....

Apr 12th, 2022 - Interstitial lung diseases (ILDs) encompass a large and varied group of parenchymal lung disorders, including diseases of unknown cause, which are known as idiopathic interstitial pneumonias, as well as those associated with other diseases or envi...

Sep 15th, 2021 - Transcript: Joyce A. O’Shaughnessy, MD: Charles, how do you define interstitial lung disease [ILD]? Charles A. Powell, MD, MBA: The lung is a window to the world. The lung is exposed to the air that we breathe, and the lung is also fed by our ...
