Brain Oxygenation During Exercise in Different Types of Chronic Lung Disease: A Narrative Review.

Sports (Basel)

January 2025

Laboratory of Exercise Physiology and Biochemistry, Department of Sport Science at Serres, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, 62122 Serres, Greece.

Chronic lung diseases such as Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, Interstitial Lung Disease (ILD), and Pulmonary Hypertension (PH) are characterized by progressive symptoms such as dyspnea, fatigue, and muscle weakness, often leading to physical inactivity, and reduced quality of life. Many patients also experience significantly impaired exercise tolerance. While pulmonary, cardiovascular, respiratory, and peripheral muscle dysfunction contribute to exercise limitations, recent evidence suggests that hypoxia and impairments in cerebral oxygenation may also play a role in exercise intolerance.

TERT de novo mutation-associated dyskeratosis congenita and porto-sinusoidal vascular disease: a case report.

J Med Case Rep

January 2025

Department of Hepatic Biliary Pancreatic Medicine, First Hospital of Jilin University, 1 Xinmin Avenue, Changchun, 130021, China.

Background: Dyskeratosis congenita is a rare genetic disease due to telomere biology disorder and characterized by heterogeneous clinical manifestations and severe complications. "Porto-sinusoidal vascular disease" has been recently proposed, according to new diagnostic criteria, to replace the term "idiopathic non-cirrhotic portal hypertension." TERT plays an important role in telomeric DNA repair and replication.

Interplay between genetics and epigenetics in lung fibrosis.

Int J Biochem Cell Biol

January 2025

Centre for Respiratory Research, Translational Medical Sciences, School of Medicine, University of Nottingham, UK; Nottingham NIHR Biomedical Research Centre, Nottingham, UK; Biodiscovery Institute, University Park, University of Nottingham, UK. Electronic address:

Lung fibrosis, including idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), is a complex and devastating disease characterised by the progressive scarring of lung tissue leading to compromised respiratory function. Aberrantly activated fibroblasts deposit extracellular matrix components into the surrounding lung tissue, impairing lung function and capacity for gas exchange. Both genetic and epigenetic factors have been found to play a role in the pathogenesis of lung fibrosis, with emerging evidence highlighting the interplay between these two regulatory mechanisms.
