Identifying decreased diaphragmatic mobility and diaphragm thickening in interstitial lung disease: the utility of ultrasound imaging
OBJECTIVE To investigate the applicability of ultrasound imaging of the diaphragm in interstitial lung disease (ILD). METHODS Using ultrasound, we compared ILD patients and healthy volunteers (controls) in terms of diaphragmatic mobility during quiet and deep breathing; diaphragm thickness at functional residual capacity (FRC) and at total lung capacity (TLC); and the thickening fraction (TF,...
متن کاملThe Assessment of Health-Related Quality of Life in Scleroderma-Interstitial Lung Disease
Introduction: Pulmonary involvement is the most common cause of mortality and disability in patients with systemic sclerosis and it significantly affects the quality of life in these patients. Therefore, early diagnosis and treatment of pulmonary involvement seems necessary in patients with SSc. In this study, we aimed to assess the health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in patients with Sclero...

This article focuses on recent advances in the identification of genes and genetic polymorphisms that have been implicated in the development of human interstitial lung diseases. It focuses on the inherited mendelian diseases in which pulmonary fibrosis is part of the clinical phenotype and the genetics of familial idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis and other rare inherited interstitial lung disease...
متن کامل[Interstitial lung disease].
This concise article summarizes recent advances in the field of interstitial lung disease (ILD) with particular focus on clinically relevant findings. As a novel treatment option for idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), pirfenidone has been granted marketing authorization in the European Union for the treatment of mild to moderate IPF. In contrast, the FDA refused to approve pirfenidone for the...
متن کاملInterstitial lung disease.
Because the list of interstitial lung diseases is so extensive, encompassing more than 180 chronic lung diseases in which the interstitium is altered by inflammation and/or fibrosis, this chapter focuses on several inflammatory lung diseases of unknown etiology: usual interstitial pneumonitis, respiratory bronchiolitis, idiopathic bronchiolitis obliterans with organizing pneumonia, pulmonary La...
