At the 2026 Pulmonary Vascular Research Institute conference in Dublin, Ireland, Brian Graham had an oral presentation on the NIH-funded multicenter study of schistosomiasis associated pulmonary arterial hypertension we are conducting in Brazil, and Kevin Nolan had a poster presentation on the role…
In collaboration with physicians and scientists in Zambia and Colorado, we published a case report of dual occurance of schistosomiasis hepatosplenic disease and sickle cell trait, who was found on right heart catheterization to have pulmonary hypertension largely due to high cardic output. We then…
Congratulations Michael Lee along with collaborators Thais Menezes and Rudolf Oliveira (Federal University of Sao Paulo) and Julie Reisz (Univ of Colorado) for publishing a manuscript in JCI-Insight on the transpulmonary metabolomics in connective tissue disease pulmonary hypertension.
Congratulations to our collaborator Dr. Ricardo Corrêa at the Federal University of Minas Gerais in Brazil on publishing a retrospective cohort study from his center which includes many schistosomiasis pulmonary hypertension patients, finding a similar prognosis to other etiologies, and worse…
