Study of the Correlation between HRCT Semi-quantitative Scoring, Concentration of Alveolar Nitric Oxide, and Clinical-functional Parameters of Systemic Sclerosis-induced Interstitial Lung Disease.

: The correlation between alveolar nitric oxide (CANO) and the severity of interstitial lung disease (ILD) evaluated by high resolution computed tomography (HRCT) has not been well demonstrated. : It was a perspective and observational study, including patients with diagnosed systemic sclerosis (SSc). They performed lung function testing (LFT), exhaled nitric oxide (NO) measurements, exercise testing, chest X-ray, and HRCT.

Clinical and Functional Characteristics of Subjects with Asthma, COPD, and Asthma-COPD Overlap: A Multicentre Study in Vietnam.

Introduction: Subjects with asthma-chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) overlap (ACO) share common features of patients with asthma and COPD. Our study was planned to describe the clinical and functional features of subjects with ACO compared to asthma and COPD patients.

Subjects And Methods: Study subjects who met the inclusion criteria were classified into three different groups: asthma, COPD, and ACO groups.
