Working-out the algorithm of the diagnosis of cor pulmonary on the grounds of mathematical modeling and analysis of laboratory indices.
Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a disease with progressive and devastating deterioration of lung function and a fatal prognosis , despite aggressive therapeutic attempts , which , in the majority of cases are futile.
This study investigated whether MAPKs are activated and associated with lung injury in lung tissues from patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF).
