Oxidative stress contributes to the pathophysiology of interstitial lung diseases, such as
cryptogenic fibrosing alveolitis (CFA), fibrosing alveolitis associated with systemic sclerosis (…

Some years ago it was discovered that prostaglandin F 2 ‐like compounds are formed in vivo
by nonenzymatic free radical‐catalyzed peroxidation of arachidonic acid. Because these …

Most of the studies linking chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) with oxidative stress
are in vitro, using invasive techniques, or measuring systemic oxidative stress. The aim of …

Background: Most of the studies investigating the role of leukotrienes (LTs) and prostaglandins
(PGs) in asthma have used invasive (eg, bronchoalveolar lavage fluid) or semi-invasive (…

Oxidative stress has an important role in the pathogenesis of asthma. 8-Isoprostane is a
prostaglandin (PG)-F 2 –like compound belonging to the F 2 isoprostane class that is produced …

Inexact (or approximate) computing is an attractive paradigm for digital processing at
nanometric scales. Inexact computing is particularly interesting for computer arithmetic designs. …

U-BIOPRED is a European Union consortium of 20 academic institutions, 11 pharmaceutical
companies and six patient organisations with the objective of improving the understanding …

Breath tests cover the fraction of nitric oxide in expired gas (F ENO ), volatile organic compounds
(VOCs), variables in exhaled breath condensate (EBC) and other measurements. For …

Background Air pollution is associated with respiratory symptoms, lung function decrements,
and hospitalizations. However, there is little information about the influence of air pollution …

Inflammatory lung diseases are highly complex in respect of pathogenesis and relationships
between inflammation, clinical disease and response to treatment. Sophisticated large-…
