Cundrle Jr I, Merta Z, Bratova M, Homolka P, Mitas L, Sramek V, et al.
ERJ Open Res . 2023 Mar; 9(2). PMID: 36891072
Introduction: According to the guidelines for preoperative assessment of lung resection candidates, patients with normal forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV) and diffusing capacity of the lung for carbon...

Mazur A, Brat K, Homolka P, Merta Z, Svoboda M, Bratova M, et al.
PLoS One . 2022 Aug; 17(8):e0272984. PMID: 35960723
Introduction: Ventilatory efficiency (VE/VCO2 slope) has been shown superior to peak oxygen consumption (VO2) for prediction of post-operative pulmonary complications in patients undergoing thoracotomy. VE/VCO2 slope is determined by ventilatory...

Brat K, Homolka P, Merta Z, Chobola M, Heroutova M, Bratova M, et al.
Ann Thorac Surg . 2022 Jan; 115(5):1305-1311. PMID: 35074321
Background: Cardiopulmonary exercise testing parameters including ventilatory efficiency (V/VCO slope) are used for risk assessment of lung resection candidates. However, many patients are unable or unwilling to undergo exercise. V/VCO...

Doubkova M, Hausnerova J, Vyska O, Richter S, Merta Z
Sarcoidosis Vasc Diffuse Lung Dis . 2020 Jun; 35(4):395-398. PMID: 32476929
Necrotizing sarcoid granulomatosis (NSG) is a very rare disease of unknown etiology characterized by sarcoid-like granulomas, vasculitis and necrosis in pulmonary and extrapulmonary localizations. We describe a case of a...

Doubkova M, Stefanikova M, can V, Merta Z, Svoboda M
Klin Onkol . 2019 Oct; 32(5):367-374. PMID: 31610670
Background: Lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM) is a rare systemic disease that occurs sporadically (S/LAM) or as part of tuberous sclerosis (TS/LAM). LAM is characterized by proliferation of abnormal smooth muscle cells. This...

Brat K, Stastna N, Merta Z, Olson L, Johnson B, Cundrle Jr I
PLoS One . 2019 Apr; 14(4):e0215997. PMID: 31013331
Introduction: Measurement of ventilatory efficiency, defined as minute ventilation per unit carbon dioxide production (VE/VCO2), by cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) has been proposed as a screen for hyperventilation syndrome (HVS)....

Herout V, Heroutova M, Merta Z, Cundrle Jr I, Brat K
BMC Pulm Med . 2019 Mar; 19(1):56. PMID: 30823915
Background: Pneumothorax (PTX) is one of the most common complications of transbronchial biopsy (TBB). Previous research suggests that upper pulmonary lobe TBB may be associated with increased risk of PTX...

Skrickova J, Kadlec B, Venclicek O, Merta Z
Cas Lek Cesk . 2018 Nov; 157(5):226-236. PMID: 30441934
Lung cancer is one of the most common cancers worldwide. Approximately 85 % of lung cancers are non-small cell lung cancers while 15 % are small cell lung cancers. Histologically,...

Satankova M, Brat K, Merta Z, Steffl M
Vnitr Lek . 2018 May; 64(3):314-320. PMID: 29766735
Postintubation tracheal stenosis (PITS) is one of the most frequent causes of lower airways obstruction. Usually, PITS is the consequence of prolonged intubation period, but may occur also after short-term...

Clin Respir J . 2017 Sep; 12(4):1526-1535. PMID: 28862397
Introduction: Prognostic factors of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) currently recognized include changes in vital capacity and radiologic findings. However, most of the prognostic studies in IPF are based on clinical...
