Screening for Subclinical Interstitial Lung Disease in Rheumatoid Arthritis Patients: Functional and Radiological Methods.

Objective: Interstitial lung disease is the most frequent lung symptom of rheumatoid arthritis and is a significant contributor to morbid- ity. As a result, the target of this research was to measure the frequency of radiological and functional abnormalities in rheumatoid arthritis patients who did not have any respiratory symptoms.

Material And Methods: This study consists of 30 patients diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis.

Stem Cells and Lung Regeneration.

Tissues such as the lung, liver, and pancreas that have a low steady-state cell turnover yet can respond robustly after injury to replace damaged cells. The airway epithelium is exposed to inhaled particles and pathogens that may lead to the development of a many infectious and inflammatory respiratory diseases. Lung transplantation is an accepted modality of treatment for end-stage lung diseases.
