Introduction: During manned space exploration lung health is threatened by toxic planetary dust and radiation. Thus, tests such as lung diffusing capacity (DL) are likely be used in planetary habitats ...

Pulmonary diffusing capacity for carbon monoxide (DLCO) is now fundamentally anchored on rapidly responding gas analysers (RGAs), and contemporary standards have effectively defined this approach as ...

There is increasing evidence that chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is partially driven by accelerated lung aging, compared to cigarette smokers without airway obstruction or non-smokers ...

Background Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is characterised by microvascular and fibrotic lesions, which are located not only in skin but also in lungs and heart. Objective This study aimed to investigate ...

Objectives Spirometry is the primary lung function test utilised for medical surveillance and disability examination for coal mine dust lung disease. However, spirometry likely underestimates ...

We are providing an unedited version of this manuscript to give early access to its findings. Before final publication, the manuscript will undergo further editing. Please note there may be errors ...

In this perspective article, we review the recent histopathological concepts of IPF‐PH, especially focusing on a cohort of patients who were targeted for clinical trials and who had a mean P AP of >25 ...

A measure of petrol transfer called diffusing capacity, which is independent of the BODE score, computed tomography (CT) indications of emphysema, and airway wall thickness, significantly predicted ...

Hemodynamic perturbations in heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) may alter the distribution of blood in the lungs, impair gas transfer from the alveoli into the pulmonary ...
