Bronchiolitis obliterans (BO) following allogeneic haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT)
affects peripheral airways. Detection of BO is presently delayed by the low sensitivity …

Lung transplantation has now been performed for more than 30 years in patients with end-stage
chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). This disease is the major indication for …

Multiple breath nitrogen washout (MBNW) indices provide insight into ventilation heterogeneity
globally [lung clearance index (LCI)] and within acinar (S acin ) and conducting (S cond ) …

Inhaled therapies play a significant role in the management of cystic fibrosis patients. Mucolytic
and airway-rehydrating agents improve mucociliary clearance and respiratory functional …

An 89-year-old patient was admitted to the emergency department (ED) because of sudden
onset of chest pain. The chest radiograph appeared to show a detachment of the pleura on …

Bronchiolitis obliterans (BO) following allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT)
is believed to be related to chronic graft-versus-host disease (cGVHD). Detection of BO …

Background: Spirometry is insensitive for detecting bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome (BOS)
in allo-HSCT recipients. Multiple breath nitrogen washout (MBNW) is sensitive to peripheral …

Background: Multiple breath nitrogen washout (MBNW) provides parameters reflecting
ventilation heterogeneity (VH) within the acinar airways (Sacin), conducting airways (Scond) and …

Background: Multiple breath nitrogen washout (MBNW) indices provide insight into 40
ventilation heterogeneity globally (LCI) and within acinar (Sacin) and conducting 41 (Scond) …

Three endobronchial valves (Zephyr, Pulmonx, Red-wood City, CA) for lung volume reduction
were implanted in the right upper lobe of a 74-year-old male patient known for stage IV …
