Structural and functional lung disease in primary ciliary dyskinesia.
- F. Santamaria, S. Montella, +4 authors P. D. de Jong
- Medicine
- Chest
- 1 August 2008
BACKGROUND
High-resolution CT (HRCT) scan data on primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) related lung disease are scarce.
STUDY OBJECTIVES
We evaluated the lung disease in children and adults with PCD by… Expand
Magnetic resonance imaging is an accurate and reliable method to evaluate non‐cystic fibrosis paediatric lung disease
- S. Montella, M. Maglione, +7 authors F. Santamaria
- Medicine
- Respirology
- 1 January 2012
Background and objective: Chest MRI is increasingly used to assess pulmonary diseases, but its utility compared with high‐resolution computed tomography (HRCT) has never been evaluated in children… Expand
Multicenter analysis of body mass index, lung function, and sputum microbiology in primary ciliary dyskinesia
- M. Maglione, A. Bush, +5 authors F. Santamaria
- Medicine
- Pediatric pulmonology
- 1 December 2014
No studies longitudinally, simultaneously assessed body mass index (BMI) and spirometry in primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD).
Assessment of Chest High-Field Magnetic Resonance Imaging in Children and Young Adults With Noncystic Fibrosis Chronic Lung Disease: Comparison to High-Resolution Computed Tomography and Correlation…
- S. Montella, F. Santamaria, +4 authors C. Mollica
- Medicine
- Investigative radiology
- 1 September 2009
Objectives:Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has been proposed as a radiation-free alternative to high resolution computed tomography (HRCT) for the assessment and follow-up of chest disorders. Thus… Expand
Upper airway obstructive disease in mucopolysaccharidoses: Polysomnography, computed tomography and nasal endoscopy findings
- F. Santamaria, M. V. Andreucci, +7 authors G. Andria
- Medicine
- Journal of Inherited Metabolic Disease
- 14 June 2007
SummaryIn mucopolysaccharidoses, upper airway obstruction has multiple causative factors and progressive respiratory disease may severely affect morbidity and mortality. In a cross-sectional study… Expand
A Descriptive Study of Non-Cystic Fibrosis Bronchiectasis in a Pediatric Population from Central and Southern Italy
- F. Santamaria, S. Montella, +5 authors A. Boner
- Medicine
- Respiration
- 1 February 2009
Background: Non-cystic fibrosis (CF) bronchiectasis is now identified more often than in the past. Objectives: It was the aim of this study to assess the high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT)… Expand
Nasal nitric oxide assessment in primary ciliary dyskinesia using aspiration, exhalation, and humming.
- F. Santamaria, S. De Stefano, +5 authors M. Maniscalco
- Medicine
- Medical science monitor : international medical…
- 29 January 2008
BACKGROUND
Several studies reported low nasal nitric oxide (nNO) levels in subjects with primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) and proposed nNO measurement as a diagnostic tool to screen for the disease.… Expand
Noninvasive investigation of hepatopulmonary syndrome in children and adolescents with chronic cholestasis
- F. Santamaria, P. Sarnelli, +5 authors P. Vajro
- Medicine
- Pediatric pulmonology
- 1 May 2002
Early detection of hepatopulmonary syndrome (HPS) may be delayed because of invasiveness of the diagnostic procedures. In this pilot study, we prospectively investigated the usefulness of determining… Expand
Cardiopulmonary assessment in primary ciliary dyskinesia
- G. Valerio, F. Giallauria, +4 authors F. Santamaria
- Medicine
- European journal of clinical investigation
- 1 June 2012
Eur J Clin Invest 2012; 42 (6): 617–622
Progression of lung disease in primary ciliary dyskinesia: Is spirometry less accurate than CT?
- M. Maglione, A. Bush, +4 authors F. Santamaria
- Medicine
- Pediatric pulmonology
- 1 May 2012
Despite its extensive use, there is no evidence that spirometry is useful in the assessment of progression of lung disease in primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD). We hypothesize that high‐resolution… Expand
