Journal ArticleDOI
Predicting mortality of patients hospitalized for acutely exacerbated chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
Leonello Fuso,Raffaele Antonelli Incalzi,Riccardo Pistelli,Rodolfo Muzzolon,Salvatore Valente,Gabriella Pagliari,Franco Gliozzi,Giuliano Ciappi +7 more
TL;DR: Patients with acutely exacerbated COPD having a high risk of death can be identified at the time of admission and Variables reflecting heart dysfunction are important determinants of this risk.
Journal ArticleDOI
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease: An Original Model of Cognitive Decline
Raffaele Antonelli Incalzi,Antonella Gemma,Camillo Marra,Rodolfo Muzzolon,O. Capparella,Pierugo Carbonin +5 more
TL;DR: Results suggest that continuous oxygen therapy does not prevent or only partly prevents cognitive decline in COPD, and a distinct cognitive profile was found in a large fraction of patients with COPD and it differs in several aspects from those of both normal and demented subjects.
Journal ArticleDOI
Factors affecting variations in pulmonary diffusing capacity resulting from postural changes.
Riccardo Pistelli,Leonello Fuso,Rodolfo Muzzolon,Marco Canfora,Enzo Ferrante,Giuliano Ciappi +5 more
TL;DR: The amount of surface available for diffusion seems to be a limiting factor to gas flow across the lungs in healthy young people in a supine position, and a straightforward attribution of posturally influenced changes in CO diffusing capacity exclusively to factors affecting Vc is not recommended.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparison of the performance of two mini peak flow meters
Riccardo Pistelli,Leonello Fuso,Rodolfo Muzzolon,Gabriella Bevignani,Francesco Patalano,Giuliano Ciappi +5 more
TL;DR: Two mini peak flow meters commonly used to monitorize the peak expiratory flow rate (PEFR) are compared to assess their agreement, precision and, with respect to a standard pneumotachygraph, accuracy.
Journal ArticleDOI
Pulmonary involvement in progressive systemic sclerosis: a multidisciplinary approach.
Riccardo Pistelli,Carlo Ludovico Maini,Leonello Fuso,Rodolfo Muzzolon,M.G. Bonetti,Raffaele Antonelli Incalzi,Alessandro Giordano,Salvatore Paoletti +7 more
TL;DR: Preliminary results of a multidisciplinary study of patients affected by progressive systemic sclerosis think that these preliminary results are consistent with an alveolar and interstitial inflammation rather than with a vasculitic process.
