Computed tomography-quantified emphysema distribution is associated with lung function decline.
Emphysema distribution is associated with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. It is, however, unknown whether computed tomography (CT)-quantified emphysema distribution (upper/lower lobe) is associated with lung function decline in heavy (former) smokers. 587 male participants underwent lung CT and pulmonary function testing at baseline and after a median (interquartile range) follow-up of 2...
متن کاملCT-quantified emphysema in male heavy smokers: association with lung function decline.
BACKGROUND Emphysema and small airway disease both contribute to chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), a disease characterised by accelerated decline in lung function. The association between the extent of emphysema in male current and former smokers and lung function decline was investigated. METHODS Current and former heavy smokers participating in a lung cancer screening trial were...
متن کاملComputed Tomography-Based Centrilobular Emphysema Subtypes Relate with Pulmonary Function
INTRODUCTION Centrilobular emphysema (CLE) is recognized as low attenuation areas (LAA) with centrilobular pattern on high-resolution computed tomography (CT). However, several shapes of LAA are observed. Our preliminary study showed three types of LAA in CLE by CT-pathologic correlations. This study was performed to investigate whether the morphological features of LAA affect pulmonary functio...
متن کاملPair distribution function computed tomography.
An emerging theme of modern composites and devices is the coupling of nanostructural properties of materials with their targeted arrangement at the microscale. Of the imaging techniques developed that provide insight into such designer materials and devices, those based on diffraction are particularly useful. However, to date, these have been heavily restrictive, providing information only on m...
متن کاملMenopause Is Associated with Accelerated Lung Function Decline.
RATIONALE Menopause is associated with changes in sex hormones, which affect immunity, inflammation, and osteoporosis and may impair lung function. Lung function decline has not previously been investigated in relation to menopause. OBJECTIVES To study whether lung function decline, assessed by FVC and FEV1, is accelerated in women who undergo menopause. METHODS The population-based longitu...
