Computed tomographic measurements of airway dimensions and emphysema in smokers. Correlation with lung function.
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is characterized by the presence of airflow obstruction caused by emphysema or airway narrowing, or both. Low attenuation areas (LAA) on computed… Expand

Changes in intra-abdominal visceral fat and serum leptin levels in patients with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome following nasal continuous positive airway pressure therapy.
BACKGROUND Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) is a common disorder in obese subjects. Visceral fat accumulation (VFA) is a better predictor of coronary heart disease than body mass index. Leptin… Expand

Complexity of terminal airspace geometry assessed by lung computed tomography in normal subjects and patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
Increases in the low attenuation areas (LAA) of chest x-ray computed tomography images in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) have been reported to reflect the development of… Expand

Comparison of low attenuation areas on computed tomographic scans between inner and outer segments of the lung in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease: incidence and contribution to…
BACKGROUND The low attenuation areas on computed tomographic (CT) scans have been reported to represent emphysematous changes of the lung. However, the regional distribution of emphysema between the… Expand

GLCCI1 variant accelerates pulmonary function decline in patients with asthma receiving inhaled corticosteroids
In steroid‐naive patients with asthma, several gene variants are associated with a short‐term response to inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) treatment; this has mostly been observed in Caucasians. However,… Expand

An automated method to assess the distribution of low attenuation areas on chest CT scans in chronic pulmonary emphysema patients.
We developed an automated method to recognize the lung in a computed tomographic (CT) image. With computer-assisted analysis, we were able to describe the continuous low attenuation (less than -960… Expand

Plasma leptin levels and cardiac sympathetic function in patients with obstructive sleep apnoea-hypopnoea syndrome
Background: The control of body weight and cardiac sympathetic function in patients with obstructive sleep apnoea-hypopnoea syndrome (OSAHS) are important because both factors have significant… Expand

Obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome (OSAS) is a very common disorder. Patients with OSAS are at an increased risk for cardiovascular events. It has also been reported that a 25% rise in factor VII… Expand

Frequency characteristics of airway and tissue impedances in respiratory diseases.
We measured the frequency characteristics (at 10-40 Hz) of airway (Za) and tissue (Zt) impedances in cases of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease [asthmatic bronchitis (AB), chronic pulmonary… Expand
