Aging is a natural process characterized by progressive functional impairment and reduced
capacity to respond appropriately to environmental stimuli and injury. The incidence of two …

The genetic risk factors for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are still largely
unknown. To date, genome-wide association studies (GWASs) of limited size have identified …

Background Forced expiratory volume in 1 s as a percentage of predicted (% FEV1) is a key
outcome in cystic fibrosis (CF) and other lung diseases. As people with CF survive for longer …

Genome-wide association studies have identified numerous genetic loci for spirometic
measures of pulmonary function, forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1), and its …

La enfermedad pulmonar obstructiva crónica (EPOC) se caracteriza esencialmente por una
limitación crónica al flujo aéreo poco reversible y asociada principalmente al humo de …

Introduction To evaluate the influence of pretreatment pulmonary function (PF) on survival,
early and late pulmonary toxicity after stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) for early-stage …

Little is known about longitudinal lung function variation in patients with pulmonary
Langerhans' cell histiocytosis (LCH). The contribution of serial lung computed tomography …

It is widely accepted that some antibiotics have activities beyond their direct antibacterial
effects. Macrolide is the antibiotic class with more convincing studies and evidence on its …

Lung function level and decline are each predictive of morbidity and mortality. Evaluation of
the combined effect of these measurements may help further identify high-risk groups. Using …

As the population increases in age, the diseases of older age will have increasing
prevalence and place a greater burden on the health system. Despite asthma being usually …
