Expiratory phase lung mechanics in late-onset Pompe disease: a multicenter study using oscillometry to identify specific breathing abnormalities

Abstract Introduction In late-onset Pompe disease (LOPD), muscle weakness causes restrictive lung impairment. In murine models, glycogen deposition in lung parenchyma suggests additional causes for restriction that remain poorly understood. We investigated whether oscillometry de...

CT Perfusion in lacunar stroke: a powerful tool to enhance lacunar stroke detection and prediction of patients’ outcome

INTRODUCTION: Lacunar strokes are caused by occlusion of small penetrating arteries. Although CT perfusion (CTP) is widely used in the acute settings, automated core/penumbra software often fails to detect lacunar perfusion abnormalities, so its diagnostic and prognostic roles re...
