Diagnostic performance of narrow-band imaging bronchoscopy in assessing tracheobronchial cell morphological abnormalities
BACKGROUND: Narrow-band imaging (NBI) bronchoscopy increases the diagnostic accuracy of lung cancer by enhancing mucosal surface structure images. The accuracy of NBI bronchoscopy for morphological abnormalities of tracheobronchial cells is unknown. This study aims to determine the diagnostic…

A short bout of exercise impacts TH2 inflammation of patients with obesity and well-controlled asthma
BACKGROUND: Existing evidence suggests that regular physical activity is associated with improved outcomes in asthma. However, the impact of exercise on TH2 inflammation in patients with mild and well-controlled asthma is not well understood. This study aimed to determine if a short bout of…

Continuous renal replacement therapy combined with ulinastatin in acute respiratory distress syndrome: A systematic review and meta-analysis
Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a severe clinical condition with high mortality, and effective adjunctive therapies remain limited. In recent years, continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) and ulinastatin have both been applied in ARDS management, but the clinical value of their…

Impact of pulmonary infarction after thromboembolism: A multicenter study
BACKGROUND: This study aimed to investigate the impact of parenchymal infarction (PI) on the progression of pulmonary thromboembolism (PTE). METHODS: This retrospective, multicenter study evaluated patients diagnosed as having PTE via thoracic computed tomography angiography (CTA). Patients were…

Comparing polysomnography auto scoring with the standard of care in sleep medicine
BACKGROUND: Manual polysomnography is considered as the gold-standard for diagnosis of sleep disorders. However, it is a labor intensive and time-consuming task and is being replaced by automated sleep scoring systems. METHODS: This cross-sectional study was conducted at Sleep Medicine and Research…

A tool for recognizing asthma nonadherence during disease management: A prospective cohort study
BACKGROUND: The adherence of asthma patients remains an urgent issue that needs to be addressed, and there is still a lack of tools for the rapid identification of nonadherence. METHODS: A number of factors associated with increased risk of nonadherence were compared with adherence assessed using…

Large cell neuroendocrine carcinoma of unknown primary presenting with pleural fluid: A diagnostic pitfall with lymphoma-like features
Large-cell neuroendocrine carcinoma (LCNEC), a rare and aggressive malignancy, most commonly arising in the lungs but infrequently presenting at unusual locations or with atypical features. Diagnosing LCNEC can be particularly challenging when the primary site is unknown and when clinical and…

Clinical profile of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease patients with and without type 2 inflammation: A comparative study
BACKGROUND: The association between chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) with type 2 inflammation and comorbidities and functional outcomes remains incompletely defined. We aimed to compare clinical characteristics, comorbidities, and exacerbation risk between COPD patients with and without…

Bibliometric analysis of research hotspots in tracheal intubation for children
Difficult airway management remains a major challenge for paediatric anaesthesiologists. Our aim is to visualise the research hotspots of tracheal intubation for children using bibliometric analysis and clarify the development status of this research field. English articles on pediatric intubation…

Analysis of the training pathway in sleep medicine: Training capacity versus demand in the United States
Previous studies have described an emerging deficiency of sleep medicine physicians in the United States (US). This study defines the training pipeline for sleep medicine physicians, including the annual number of applicants, training positions, and unfilled training positions. This was a…

Diagnostic yield of bronchoscopy in hemoptysis without radiological abnormalities: A retrospective cohort study
BACKGROUND: Bronchoscopy is widely used to evaluate the source and cause of hemoptysis. Its diagnostic value is well established in patients with abnormal radiological findings; however, its utility in patients without such findings remains uncertain. METHODS: We retrospectively included adults…

Evaluation of prognostic scores and factors affecting survival in patients with malignant pleural effusion
BACKGROUND: Malignant pleural effusion (MPE) occurs in approximately 15% of cancer patients and is associated with poor prognosis, with a median survival of 3–12 months. Expected survival is a key factor in treatment decision-making. This study aimed to identify clinical and laboratory parameters…

The impact of radiometabolic features on the stage and survival in small cell lung cancer
BACKGROUND: Small-cell lung cancer (SCLC) is a highly aggressive malignancy with a poor prognosis. 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) plays a critical role in staging, as elevated FDG uptake is associated with tumor aggressiveness and metabolic…

Compatibility analysis of total lung capacity values measured by segmentation with computed tomography and helium dilution method
BACKGROUND: Accurate assessment of lung volumes is essential for diagnosing ventilatory defects and managing pulmonary diseases such as interstitial lung diseases (ILDs) and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Although body plethysmography is the standard method, it can be limited by…

From lungs to thyroid: A rare metastatic journey of papillary adenocarcinoma of the lung
The metastasis from a primary lung adenocarcinoma to the thyroid is an infrequent occurrence. Typically, malignancies arising from the breast or kidney are more commonly associated with metastatic involvement of the thyroid gland. Here, we report the case of a 63-year-old female with primary lung…

Anthropometric thoracic measurements and smoking habits in patients with primary spontaneous pneumothorax: A case-control study
BACKGROUND: Primary spontaneous pneumothorax (PSP) is the spontaneous accumulation of air in the pleural space without any obvious reason. Although PSP typically occurs in young, thin, healthy males, the chest anthropometrics in PSP remain insufficiently explored. We aim to evaluate the chest…

Correlation between the severity of asthma and computed tomography-based large airway structural changes among children under 3 years of age
BACKGROUND: The absence of objective and quantitative criteria of pediatric asthma is a persistent barrier in the early diagnosis and assessment of severity. Alterations in major airway structures in individuals with asthma may indicate the severity of the disease. This study was conducted to…

Patients’ outcomes during chronic obstructive pulmonary disease exacerbations are associated with the severity score of the Lancet Commission
BACKGROUND: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) exacerbations significantly affect morbidity, mortality, and healthcare costs. The Lancet Commission proposed a severity classification for COPD exacerbations, but its validation has not been performed. This study aims to assess the…
