Pulmonary Fibrosis Story: Breathing in All the Possibilities
IPF Patients’ Likelihood of a Lung Transplant May Be Evident in Pulmonary Artery Size
Researchers investigating pulmonary artery size in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) patients have found that the pulmonary artery:ascending aorta diameter (PA:A) ratio could predict IPF clinical outcome, representing a potential new tool for stratifying patients to identify those most at risk. The study, “Pulmonary artery size as a predictor of outcomes in idiopathic…
How Does Pulmonary Rehabilitation Work? – Pulmonary Fibrosis
“A pulmonary rehabilitation program gives patients the opportunity to educate themselves about their disease, its limitations and possibilities. It teaches skills and exercises to better control and manage individual symptoms.” Learn more about pulmonary fibrosis: https://bit.ly/1lfMsiZ…
#TBT – Jerry Lewis Living with Pulmonary Fibrosis

IPF May Have Varied and Complex Genetic Roots
Genetic factors might drive at least part of the risk for idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), particularly in familial forms of the disease, and a review from the Nanjing University School of Medicine, China, presented an updated view of genetic risk factors for IPF. The article, “Candidate genes of idiopathic…
Interstitial PF Flares in Hospital Stays Seen to Raise Morbidity Risk in Non-IPF Patients, Too
A Mayo Clinic study reported that patients with fibrotic interstitial lung disease are at a threefold higher risk of substantial morbidity when hospitalized for acute lung exacerbations, whether or not they have idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). While the frequency and outcomes of acute respiratory exacerbations in IPF patients are rather well-documented, corresponding…

Interaction of Cells in Lung Vasculature Focus of New Pulmonary Fibrosis Research
An interaction between cells in the lungs’ vasculature appears to spur tissue regeneration and is a potential target for therapies against fibrosis, according to a study titled “Targeting of the pulmonary capillary vascular niche promotes lung alveolar repair and ameliorates fibrosis,” published in the journal Nature Medicine. Lungs, as a result of their…
