    Abstract The goal of quantitative analysis of computed tomography (CT) scans is to understand the anatomic structure that is responsible for the physiological function of the lung. The gold standard for structural analysis requires the examination of tissue, which is not practical in most studies. Quantitative CT allows valuable information on lung structure to be obtained without removal of tissue from the body, thereby aiding longitudinal studies on chronic lung diseases. This review briefly discusses CT analysis of the lung and some of the sources of variation that can cause differences in the CT metrics used for analysis of lung disease. Although there are many sources of variation, this review will show that, if the study is properly designed to take into account these variations and if the CT scanner is properly calibrated, valuable information can be obtained from CT scans that should allow us to study the pathogenesis of lung disease and the effect of treatment.

    Abstract Background: Portal hypertension is a severe complication of cirrhosis. This Phase Ib study (NCT03842761) assessed the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of soluble guanylyl cyclase activator BI 685509 in patients with mild or moderate hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh [CP] A or B cirrhosis) and healthy volunteers (HVs).
    Methods: In this single-center, randomized, placebo-controlled study, patients received BI 685509 (maximum doses: 1, 2, or 3 mg, twice daily [BID]) or placebo for 28 days. HVs received one 0.5 mg dose of BI 685509 or placebo.
    Results: In total, 64 participants (CP-A, n=24; CP-B, n=25; HVs, n=15) were included; most commonly with NAFLD (36.7%), alcohol-associated (30.6%), or chronic viral hepatitis-related cirrhosis (28.6%). In patients with CP-A cirrhosis, drug-related adverse events (AEs) occurred in 5.6% of BI 685509-treated patients and 16.7% of placebo recipients. In patients with CP-B cirrhosis, drug-related AEs occurred in 26.3% of BI 685509-treated patients only. No serious AEs occurred in patients with CP-A cirrhosis; in patients with CP-B cirrhosis, serious AEs (not drug-related) occurred in 10.5% of BI 685509-treated patients and 16.7% of patients receiving placebo. BI 685509 was rapidly absorbed; exposure increased with dosage and was similar between etiologies and between patients with CP-A cirrhosis and patients with CP-A cirrhosis but lower in HVs. The mean percentage portal-systemic shunt fraction was measured in patients with CP-A cirrhosis and decreased at the end of treatment in the 2 mg BID (-11.2 ± 11.9%) and 3 mg BID (-14.0 ± 8.4%) BI 685509 dose groups, but not in the placebo group (+1.0 ± 27.3%).
    Conclusion: BI 685509 was generally well tolerated, with 3 serious, not drug-related AEs reported in patients with CP-B cirrhosis. In patients with CP-A cirrhosis, portal-systemic shunt fraction in the exploratory efficacy analysis was reduced by 2 mg BID and 3 mg BID BI 685509.

    Abstract Deep inspiration (DI)-induced bronchodilation is the first line of defense against bronchoconstriction in healthy subjects. A hallmark of asthma is the lack of this beneficial effect of DI. The mechanism underlying the bronchodilatory effect of DI is not clear. Understanding the mechanism will help us unravel the mystery of asthma pathophysiology. It has been postulated that straining airway smooth muscle (ASM) during a DI could lead to bronchodilation and bronchoprotection. The hypothesis is currently under debate, and a central question is whether ASM is sufficiently stretched during a DI for its contractility to be compromised. Besides bronchoconstriction, another contributor to lung resistance is airway heterogeneity. The present study examines changes in airway diameter and heterogeneity at different lung volumes. Freshly explanted sheep lungs were used in plethysmographic measurements of lung resistance and elastance at different lung volumes, whereas the airway dimensions were measured by computed tomography (CT). The change in airway diameter informed by CT measurements was applied to isolated airway ring preparations to determine the strain-induced loss of ASM contractility. We found that changing the transpulmonary pressure from 5 to 30 cmH

    Abstract Rationale: Predicting increased risk of future healthcare utilization in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients is an important goal for improving patient management.
    Objective: Our objective was to determine the importance of computed tomography (CT) lung imaging measurements relative to other demographic and clinical measurements for predicting future health services use with machine learning in COPD.
    Materials and methods: In this retrospective study, lung function measurements and chest CT images were acquired from Canadian Cohort of Obstructive Lung Disease study participants from 2010 to 2017 (https://clinicaltrials.gov, NCT00920348). Up to two follow-up visits (1.5- and 3-year follow-up) were performed and participants were asked for details related to healthcare utilization. Healthcare utilization was defined as any COPD hospitalization or emergency room visit due to respiratory problems in the 12 months prior to the follow-up visits. CT analysis was performed (VIDA Diagnostics Inc.); a total of 108 CT quantitative emphysema, airway and vascular measurements were investigated. A hybrid feature selection method with support vector machine classifier was used to predict healthcare utilization. Performance was determined using accuracy, F1-measure and area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) and Matthews's correlation coefficient (MC).
    Results: Of the 527 COPD participants evaluated, 179 (35%) used healthcare services at follow-up. There were no significant differences between the participants with or without healthcare utilization at follow-up for age (p = 0.50), sex (p = 0.44), BMI (p = 0.05) or pack-years (p = 0.76). The accuracy for predicting subsequent healthcare utilization was 80% ± 3% (F1-measure = 74%, AUC = 0.80, MC = 0.6) when all measurements were considered, 76% ± 6% (F1-measure = 72%, AUC = 0.77, MC = 0.55) for CT measurements alone and 65% ± 5% (F1-measure = 60%, AUC = 0.67, MC = 0.34) for demographic and lung function measurements alone.
    Conclusion: The combination of CT lung imaging and conventional measurements leads to greater prediction accuracy of subsequent health services use than conventional measurements alone, and may provide needed prognostic information for patients suffering from COPD.
