A scoring system using eight clinical variables was developed and validated to predict 30‐day mortality in acute exacerbation of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. The model showed good performance in both derivation and validation cohorts, providing a practical bedside tool for early risk stratification.

Born high, born fast: Does highland birth confer a pulmonary advantage for sea level endurance?
Abstract Less than 7% of the world's population live at an altitude above 1500 m. Yet, as many as 67% of medalists in the 2020 men's and women's Olympic marathon, and 100% of medalists in the 2020 men's and women's Olympic 5000 m track race may have been born or raised above this otherwise rare threshold.

Abstract Accurate prescription of supramaximal exercise requires exercise tests covering the intensity domain between maximal aerobic and peak power output. All‐out tests are commonly used for this objective but are considered challenging for people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) due to the extreme physiological demand.

DLNO/DLCO ratio evolution under targeted therapy in patients with pulmonary hypertension
The ratio of the diffusing capacity of the lung for carbon monoxide (DLCO) and for nitric oxide (DLNO) measured simultaneously is modified in patients with precapillary pulmonary hypertension (PH). The potential impact of targeted therapy on the DLCO/DLNO ratio is unknown. Simultaneous measurements of DLNO and DLCO were performed at baseline, 3-4 month

Acute intermittent hypercapnic hypoxia augments left ventricular contractility
Abstract figure legend Twenty‐four healthy adults were studied to determine the effects of an acute session of 40 min of intermittent hypercapnic hypoxia on cardiac performance. Cardiac function was assessed via echocardiography at rest and during graded stages of lower‐body negative pressure before and after the intervention to quantify load ...

Long-term functional course of Sjögren's disease-associated interstitial lung disease
Background Interstitial lung disease (ILD) is common in primary Sjögren's disease (pSD); its functional course is poorly known. Our aim was to characterise the long-term functional course and prognosis in patients with pSD-ILD.

Eosinophil and T Cell Markers Predict Functional Decline in COPD Patients [PDF]
BACKGROUND. The major marker utilized to monitor COPD patients is forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1). However, asingle measurement of FEV1 cannot reliably predict subsequent decline.

The use of extremely low‐dose amiodarone (50 mg once daily) was safe and effective in Japanese patients with persistent AF. A low baseline KL‐6 level may indicate patients at lower risk for amiodarone‐related interstitial pneumonia. ABSTRACT Background Rhythm control of atrial fibrillation (AF) by pulmonary vein isolation alone is commonly difficult in
