Discover the normal ranges of fractional exhaled nitric oxide (FeNO) across different age groups in a respiratory healthy population. Based on 2,251 participants, this study identifies factors like age, body height, and eosinophil counts that influence FeNO levels.
Discover the first study designed to analyze the impact of EVLP on the lung microbiome and the local inflammatory response. Understanding the composition, diversity, and functional interactions of the pulmonary microbiome in lung transplants holds promise for personalized respiratory medicine.
This study investigates telomere length (TL) in bronchiectasis patients, comparing them to COPD patients and healthy controls. Findings show no significant TL reduction in bronchiectasis compared to controls, but a trend towards shorter TL in idiopathic cases. Further research is needed to understand TL’s role in bronchiectasis.
Explore how systemic inflammation differs between brain-dead (DBD) and circulatory-dead (DCD) lung donors and its impact on primary graft dysfunction (PGD) and mortality in lung transplant recipients.
