A proof-of-concept study: Investigating the impact of<i>COMT</i>genotype and proline on negative symptoms in Alzheimer’s Disease Open
Summary Previous studies have reported that levels of fasting plasma proline and catechol-O-methyltransferase ( COMT ) Val 158 Met genotype influence negative symptoms in patients with severe psychiatric illness and those at-risk for psych…

Evaluation of the safety of short-term follow-up CT for the management of consolidation in lung cancer screening Open
Objectives Focal consolidation on CT may be inflammatory or malignant, and PET-CT imaging is rarely discriminatory. Furthermore, consolidation may demonstrate spontaneous resolution obviating the need for PET-CT imaging. This retrospective…

Real-World Effectiveness of Biologic Therapy in Allergic Bronchopulmonary Aspergillosis Open
Biologic therapies are effective in a number of patients with ABPA. However, further prospective clinical trials are required to determine the effectiveness and which phenotypes likely to respond. These data nevertheless increase the evide…

Non-invasive imaging in acute and chronic pulmonary embolism Open
Acute pulmonary emboli can manifest as a spectrum of physiological status ranging from an incidental finding to life threatening right heart failure. We discuss the crucial role imaging plays in the accurate and rapid diagnosis. In additio…

Survival outcomes in EIF2AK4 mutation-associated pulmonary arterial hypertension: seeking clarity in contrast Open
Background Pulmonary veno-occlusive disease (PVOD) is a rare cause of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) characterized by widespread fibrous intimal proliferation of pre-septal pulmonary venules and a lower lung diffusion capacity for c…

Pulmonary hypertension: the hallmark of acute COVID-19 microvascular angiopathy? Open
In situ pulmonary arterial thrombosis in COVID-19 is not visible on CTPA. However, the presence of CT-measured right heart and pulmonary artery dilatation in COVID-19 is likely attributable to this process and may be a possible s…

Defining growth in small pulmonary nodules using volumetry: results from a “coffee-break” CT study and implications for current nodule management guidelines Open
Objectives An increase in lung nodule volume on serial CT may represent true growth or measurement variation. In nodule guidelines, a 25% increase in nodule volume is frequently used to determine that growth has occurred; this is based on …

Bacterial burden in the lower airways predicts disease progression in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis and is independent of radiological disease extent Open
Increasing bacterial burden in the lower airways of patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis confers an increased risk of disease progression and mortality. However, it remains unclear whether this increased bacterial burden directly in…

Variable utility of mosaic attenuation to distinguish fibrotic hypersensitivity pneumonitis from idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis Open
Background Mosaic attenuation on computed tomography (CT) has been identified in international guidelines as an important diagnostic feature of fibrotic hypersensitivity pneumonitis (FHP) as opposed to idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). …
