In this study we sought to determine survival rates after use of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) as a bridge to lung re-transplantation (re-LT).
Propensity-adjusted analysis was performed on data from the Scientific Registry of Transplant Recipients (SRTR) to evaluate survival in
Patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) develop autoantibodies against a spectrum of antigens, but the clinical significance of these autoantibodies is unclear. Using a phenome-wide association study (PheWAS) approach, we examined the association between autoantibodies and clinical subphenotypes of
The young sticks and leaves of Sauropus androgynus (SA) that had been used as a health food for body weight reduction, led to an outbreak of obliterative bronchiolitis in Taiwan. This study tested the toxicity and anti-obesity features of the SA-isolated compound,
Sauropus androgynus L. Merr is an underexploited perennial shrub traditionally used as a medicinal plant in South Asia and Southeast Asia. The plant is regarded as not just a green vegetable for diet but a traditional herb for certain aliments. For instance, it has traditionally been OBJECTIVE
The purpose of this study was to determine the impact of a pretransplantation determination of body mass index (BMI) on survival after lung transplantation.
METHODS
Univariate and multivariate survival analyses of a single institution database consisting of 85 patients who had undergone
BACKGROUND
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) have not only been implicated in the development of lung diseases, but they have also been proposed as a future cell-based therapy for lung diseases. However, the cellular identity of the primary MSC in human lung tissues has not yet been reported. This study
OBJECTIVE
Obstructive bronchiolar disease or constrictive bronchiolitis, particularly in non-transplant patients, is poorly understood. This study identified the associated diseases, presenting features, and clinical course of obstructive bronchiolar disease identified by CT in the non-transplant
Chest wall strapping (CWS) induces breathing at low lung volumes. Mild to moderate obesity can lead to similar changes in lung volumes, due to chest wall and abdominal restriction. Chest wall strapping is also conceptually similar to a mismatch between significantly oversized donor lungs
Purpose: Survivors of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) are at risk for cardiopulmonary adverse events. Data on long-term effects on cardiorespiratory fitness are limited. To address the gap in knowledge, we
