Pathobiology of frailty in lung disease

Cystic Lung Disease in a Young man

A 32-year-old man was admitted in the Emergency Department with acute dyspnea secondary to spontaneous pneumothorax. He had history of spontaneous pneumothorax 2 years ago.He was active cigarette smoker (10 pack/year). The family history was unremarkable for lung diseases. Additionally, he had no systemic complaints.The lung HRCT revealed multiple bizarre-shaped cysts distributed in both lungs ...

the role of type-d personality, social support and self-compassion in prediction of health behaviors in coronary heart disease patients

نظر به اهمیت و تاثیر روزافزون عوامل روانی – اجتماعی در سلامت جسمی و تاثیر عوامل روان شناختی در بروز بیماریهای مختلف از جمله بیماریهای قلبی و عروقی این پژوهش با هدف کلی بررسی ارتباط تیپ شخصیتی d ، حمایت اجتماعی و خود دلسوزی در پیش بینی رفتارهای بهداشتی بیماران کرونر قلبی و تعیین تفاوت بین بیماران کرونر قلبی با و بدون جراحی و افراد سالم در این متغیرها و رفتارهای بهداشتی آنان، انجام گرفت. جامعه آ...

Role of Sphingolipids in the Pathobiology of Lung Inflammation

Sphingolipid bioactivities in the respiratory airways and the roles of the proteins that handle them have been extensively investigated. Gas or inhaled particles or microorganisms come into contact with mucus components, epithelial cells, blood barrier, and immune surveillance within the airways. Lung structure and functionality rely on a complex interplay of polar and hydrophobic structures fo...

Role of hyaluronan and hyaluronan-binding proteins in lung pathobiology.

Hyaluronan (HA) has diverse functions in normal lung homeostasis and pulmonary disease. HA constitutes the major glycosaminoglycan in lung tissue, with HA degradation products, produced by hyaluronidase enzymes and reactive oxygen species, being implicated in several lung diseases, including acute lung injury, asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and pulmonary hypertension. The differ...
