13. Centrilobular fibrosis (CLF): a distinct histological pattern in systemic sclerosis with interstitial lung disease (ILD) / Fibrose centrilobular (FCL): um padrão histológico pulmonar distinto em pacientes com esclerose sistêmica e doença intersticial pulmonar
Objectives: CLF is a new histological pattern of idiopathic ILD associated to esophageal reflux. We have investigated its presence in SSc with lung involvement. Methods: 28 SSc patients were submitted to open lung biopsy. The specimens were classified according to the new consensus classification of idiopathic interstitial pneumonia and to the diagnostic cri

14. Self-organizing neural networks in the characterization of interstitial lung diseases in chest radiographs. / Redes neurais auto-organizáveis na caracterização de lesões intersticiais de pulmão em radiografia de tórax
The technological development provides an improvement in the quality of life due to easiness, speed and flexibility in the access to the information. In the biomedical area, the technology is admitted as an important allied, allowing the fast development of methods and techniques that assist the professional in the health care. Recent advances in the compute

15. Effects of proportional assist ventilation on exercise capacity in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis patients / Efeito da ventilação assistida proporcional na capacidade ao exercício em pacientes com fibrose pulmonar idiopática
The objective of the present study was to evaluate the effect of ventilatory support using proportional assist ventilation (PAV) on exercise capacity in patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. Ten patients were submitted to a cardiopulmonary exercise testing, lung function and 3 submaximal exercise tests (60% of maximum load): without ventilatory suppor

16. Capilaroscopia na DMTC: um processo dinâmico associado ao envolvimento intersticial pulmonar e à gravidade de doença / Capillaroscopy in MCTD: a dynamic process associated to lung interstitial involvement and disease severity
For determining the clinical relevance of SD-pattern in MCTD, sixty-three MCTD patients (Kasukawa´s criteria) were consecutively selected. The main inclusion criterion was availability of previous nailfold capillaroscopy (NC) 5 years before inclusion. At entry, organ involvement and autoantibody evaluation were performed. The mean age and disease duration w

17. Idiopathic interstitial pneumonias : of the pathogenesis and remodeling to anatomic-physician-radiological determinatives of prognostic and survival with emphasis to the vascular component / "Pneumonias intersticiais idiopáticas: da patogênese e do remodelamento aos determinantes anátomo-clínico-radiológicos de prognóstico e sobrevida com ênfase ao componente vascular"
Studied for morphology, morphometry and immunohischemistry the vascular (adhesion molecules), epithelial (adhesion molecules) and interstitial (collagen V and immune cells) remodeling in the three major types of idiopathic interstitial pneumonias: in 62 cases of IPF, 22 cases of NSIP, and 25 cases of AIP. The impact of these alterations was evaluated in the

18. "Determinantes funcionais e morfológicos de ação de droga sobre os pulmões utilizando um modelo experimental em cobaias sob uso do cloridrato de fluoxetina" / Functional and morphological determinants of drug action on the lungs through an experimental model in guinea pigs under use of fluoxetine
Muito se tem pesquisado sobre os efeitos adversos dos antidepressivos tricíclicos (p.e. imipramina) sobre o sistema respiratório, embora pouco ou quase nada se encontre com relação a tal aspecto na literatura médica sobre a fluoxetina (Prozac®) um inibidor seletivo da recaptação de serotonina, até porque esta droga começou a ser utilizada somente

19. Lung tissue remodeling in the acute respiratory distress syndrome
Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is characterized by diffuse alveolar damage, and evolves progressively with three phases: exsudative, fibroproliferative, and fibrotic. In the exudative phase, there are interstitial and alveolar edemas with hyaline membrane. The fibroproliferative phase is characterized by exudate organization and fibroelastogenesi

20. Artificial neural networks in the support to the diferential diagnosis of interstitial lung diseases. / Redes neurais artificiais no apoio ao diagnóstico diferencial de lesões intersticiais pulmonares.
It is observed that a big growing in the use of computers as a tool to help in several areas, specially in medicine, happened in the past years. A big number of applications of these computers can be found in Medicine, such as the Diagnosis Support System, which is one of the most remarkable. These systems have as its main objective to help in the phases its

21. Challenges in pulmonary fibrosis · 4: Smoking‐induced diffuse interstitial lung diseases
Smoking‐induced diffuse interstitial lung processes include respiratory bronchiolitis, respiratory bronchiolitis‐associated interstitial lung disease (RBILD), desquamative interstitial pneumonia (DIP) and Langerhans' cell histiocytosis. The histological, radiological and clinical features of respiratory bronchiolitis, RBILD and DIP are reviewed, with par

22. Hypersensitivity pneumonitis.
Although the cause and development of most inflammatory and fibrotic interstitial lung diseases are unknown, both the antigenic stimuli and the immunopathogenic mechanisms that produce the syndrome of hypersensitivity pneumonitis have been well described. Hypersensitivity pneumonitis is a group of related inflammatory and fibrotic interstitial lung diseases

23. Accuracy of mortality data for interstitial lung diseases in New Mexico, USA.
BACKGROUND: The sensitivity and accuracy of death certificates and mortality data as sources of population based data on the occurrence of interstitial lung diseases has received limited attention. To determine the usefulness of these data sources, death certificates and mortality data from patients in New Mexico were examined. METHODS: Patients with an inte

24. Fibronectin in human bronchopulmonary lavage fluid. Elevation in patients with interstitial lung disease.
Fibronectin is a major adhesive and opsonic glycoprotein found in plasma and tissues. Because this molecule appears to mediate a number of interactions between cells and extracellular matrix, and because the interstitial lung disease are characterized by marked derangements of the pulmonary extracellular matrix, we evaluated fibronectin in the lower respirat
