Interstitial lung disease (ILD) in adult patients with autoimmune connective tissue disease (CTD) at Groote Schuur Hospital
Introduction. Interstitial lung disease (ILD) is prevalent in patients with autoimmune rheumatic diseases (ARD), leads to significant morbidity and mortality and is poorly characterized in South Africa (SA). We undertook this study to describe the clinical, serological and radiological features of …

Ο ρόλος των JAK αναστολέων στη διάμεση πνευμονοπάθεια σε ασθενείς με ρευματικά νοσήματα: αφηγηματική βιβλιογραφική ανασκόπηση
… πνευμονοπάθειες (Interstitial Lung Diseases, ILD) αποτελούν μια ετερογενή ομάδα πνευμονικών νοσημάτων που αυξάνουν σημαντικά τη νοσηρότητα και τη θνητότητα των ασθενών. Σε περίπου ένα τέταρτο των περιπτώσεων, οι ILD σχετίζονται με Συστηματικά Αυτοάνοσα Νοσήματα (Systemic Autoimmune Diseases, …

To evaluate the role of miRNAs as potential diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers for Asbestos-related interstitial lung diseases (ILD), Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) and Malignant Pleural Mesothelioma (MPM)
… and prognostic biomarkers of asbestos-related ILD, LC and MPM. To achieve this, I first examined the existing evidence through a systematic review and meta-analysis of the available published literature till 30th June 2023. miR-126, miR-132–3p, and miR-103a-3p were the most promising diagnostic …

Using Matched Craniometric and Genetic Data to Assess the Population Structure of Texas-Mexico Border Migrants
… same individuals. Using interlandmark distances (ILD) and short tandem repeats (STR) obtained from a sample of 32 Texas-Mexico migrants, this study investigates the within and between population variation of this unique data set. Genetic distances, Procrustes plots, and Mantel tests were conducted …

Prognostication and disease monitoring in fibrotic interstitial lung disease
… Fibrotic interstitial lung disease (f-ILD) causes significant morbidity and mortality worldwide. Progressive pulmonary fibrosis (PPF) describes a cohort of patients who develop progressive disease despite standard treatment. To provide optimal care, it is vital to identify those …

Role of type I interferon in pulmonary inflammation and fibrosis
… the development of interstitial lung disease (ILD) and subsequent fibrosis often leads to rapid clinical deterioration and poor prognosis. The irreversible nature of pulmonary fibrosis and the rapid progression of interstitial pneumonia underscore the need to investigate key molecular pathways …

The characteristics of intersitial lung disease patients attending Groote Schuur Hospital Respiratory clinic
Rationale: Interstitial lung diseases (ILDs) encompass a myriad of clinical conditions posing diagnostic challenges in low-income settings. The incidence of Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is unknown on the African continent. Groote Schuur Hospital (GSH) provides a tertiary referral and …

Image analysis methods for diagnosis of diffuse lung disease in multi-detector computed tomography
… characterization of Interstitial Lung Diseases (ILDs), often characterized by non uniform (diffuse) distribution in the lung volume. Interpretation of ILDs is characterized by high inter and intra- observer variability, due to lack of standardized criteria in assessing its complex and variable …

Effect of dynamic range compression on attending to sounds based on spatial location
… fluctuations in interaural level difference (ILD), which is an important cue for spatial perception and attending to sounds in an acoustic mixture. Moreover, natural sounds produce complicated interactions between different sounds in a mixture, as a compressor's gain is driven by whichever …

Transforming Growth Factor Beta1 und Platelet Derived Growth Factor im Serum und in bronchoalveolärer Lavage bei idioapthischen Lungenfibrosen
… auf eine Interstitielle Lungenerkrankung (ILD) wird in der Regel eine bronchoalveoläre Lavage (BAL) durchgeführt, aber bis jetzt scheint nur die histopathologische Differenzierung ausschlaggebend für die Abschätzung des klinischen Verlaufs zu sein. In diesem Zusammenhang bestimmten wir die …

Geology of Hebes Chasma, Valles Marineris, Mars
… partially filled with interior layered deposits (ILD), massive deposits of water altered strata. By analyzing the ILD’s structure, stratigraphy and mineralogy, as well as the perimeter faults exposed in the plateau adjacent to the chasma, the evolution and depositional history of Hebes Chasma is …

LUNG PATTERN CLASSIFICATION VIA DCNN
<p>Interstitial lung disease (ILD) causes pulmonary fibrosis. The correct classification of ILD plays a crucial role in the diagnosis and treatment process. In this research work, we disclose a lung nodules recognition method based on a deep convolutional neural network (DCNN) and global features, …

The Role of Silicates in Interstitial Lung Disease
Interstitial Lung disease (ILD), produces disruption of alveolar walls with loss of functionality and accumulation of scar tissue. Asbestosis and silicosis are the ILD produced by the inhalation of asbestos fibers or silica particles respectively. An increase in prostacyclin release after exposing …
