round assessment of the Lifelines study. Individuals who did not complete the lung function test (due to dizziness or hyperventilation), had a chest CT within the past year and pregnant women were excluded from taking part in the ImaLife study. A total of 12,000 participants are expected to ...
A particular strength of our study is that we used standardized methods to conduct the lung function testing and to obtain the respiratory diagnoses. All questionnaires and lung function tests were standardized and prospectively collected, were supervised by certified lung function technicians, and the ...
However, due to the low proportion of patients who changed their smoking status during the trial (<4%), this is not expected to have an impact on the observed results. Treatment with IND/GLY, IND, or GLY led to improvements in lung function, as assessed by FEV1 AUC0–12h, trough ...

Accordingly, we observed no significant difference between the results of the three measurement techniques after lung lavage, despite a trend for a greater EELVCT than the other two lung volume indices that may be explained by this factor (Figure 2, right). To our knowledge, this is the ...
Results Symptoms and comorbidities did not show differences statistically significant in terms of patient outcome. Instead, SpO2 was significantly lower in patients hospitalized in critical conditions or died while age, HS CRP, leukocyte count, neutrophils, LDH, d-dimer, troponin, creatinine and azotemi...
Testing with the second independent manual segmentation yielded comparable results, apart from a significantly lower CT+PET specificity for the model trained with automated masks (p = 0.039, [McNemar test]), which are shown in Appendix B. Table 3. Model Performance. Results for performance metrics...
(intestinal mucosa structure/function) and on the development of tolerogenic dendritic cells, which later on influence the local intestinal as well as the systemic immune response (reviewed in [140]). Thus, counteracting microbiome dysbiosis in allergy and asthma using probiotics seems worthwhile [141...
3. Results In this review, 17 articles reported the lasting effects of COVID-19 on children and adolescents’ lung imaging and lung function, cardiorespiratory symptoms, fatigue, exercise capacity, and activity limitations beyond 3-months follow-up [18,19,20,21,22,23,24,25,26,27,28,29,30...
Therefore, the aim of this study was to examine the association between lung function in individuals aged 30–49 years at baseline and the burden of OLD, both from a physiological and socioeconomical perspective, throughout 27 years of follow-up. The burden of OLD was based on the number of...
