Mashup Score: 7Beta-blockade improves right ventricular diastolic function in exercising pulmonary arterial hypertension - 10 month(s) ago
Right ventricular (RV) function is a main determinant of outcome in pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) [1]. Increased neuro-humoral activation associated with decreased survival in PAH may worsen RV adaptation to increased afterload [2, 3]. There is rationale therefore for the use of β-blockers in PAH especially given their beneficial effect on RV function in experimental PAH models [4, 5]….

Mashup Score: 5Pre-admission ambient air pollution and blood soot particles predict hospitalisation outcomes in COVID-19 patients - 10 month(s) ago
Background Air pollution exposure is one of the major risk factors for aggravation of respiratory diseases. We investigated whether exposure to air pollution and accumulated black carbon (BC) particles in blood were associated with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) disease severity, including the risk for intensive care unit (ICU) admission and duration of hospitalisation. Methods From May…

Mashup Score: 3Rare Diseases of the Respiratory System - 10 month(s) ago
Diagnosing rare diseases can be challenging, and treating these conditions is complex because of their often quite specific needs and treatment options. To address this, the European Respiratory Society (ERS) has published Rare Diseases of the Respiratory System. Structured into thematic sections, the book covers: the identification of rare diseases of the respiratory system and their…

Mashup Score: 5Effects of pH alteration on respiratory syncytial virus in human airway epithelial cells - 10 month(s) ago
Background Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is a leading cause of respiratory distress and hospitalisation in the paediatric population. Low airway surface pH impairs antimicrobial host defence and worsens airway inflammation. Inhaled Optate safely raises airway surface pH in humans and raises intracellular pH in primary human airway epithelial cells (HAECs) in vitro . We aimed to determine…

Low airway surface pH impairs antimicrobial host defence and worsens airway inflammation. A novel, inhaled, alkaline buffer medication, Optate, raises airway pH and inhibits RSV infection in primary human airway epithelial cells in a dose-dependent manner. https://t.co/GTOH3F08iG https://t.co/TfnL3ukriC

Mashup Score: 1Capillary carbon dioxide tension increases in hospital staff wearing filtering facepiece masks: a prospective crossover study - 10 month(s) ago
Background The COVID-19 pandemic has changed worldwide hygiene practices. In particular, the use of filtering face piece (FFP) masks markedly increased. Concerns have been raised regarding possible negative respiratory effects of wearing FFP masks. The aim of this study was to investigate gas exchange and subjective breathing effort in hospital personnel wearing FFP2 or FFP3 masks. Methods In…

Mashup Score: 1Longitudinal Effects of Elexacaftor/Tezacaftor/Ivacaftor on Sputum Viscoelastic Properties, Airway Infection and Inflammation in Patients with Cystic Fibrosis - 10 month(s) ago
Background Recent studies demonstrated that the triple combination CFTR modulator therapy elexacaftor/tezacaftor/ivacaftor (ETI) improves lung function and reduces pulmonary exacerbations in CF patients with at least one F508del allele. However, effects of ETI on downstream consequences of CFTR dysfunction, i.e. abnormal viscoelastic properties of airway mucus, chronic airway infection and…
