Study protocol of an international patient-led registry in patients with pulmonary fibrosis using online home monitoring: I-FILE

BMC Pulmonary Medicine, 2023
Background Pulmonary fibrosis (PF) is caused by a heterogeneous group of diseases, with a high inter-individual variability in disease trajectory. Identifying disease progression in patients with PF has impact on clinical management decisions.

A Pervasive Pulmonary Function Estimation System with Six-Minute Walking Test

Biosensors, 2022
Self-monitoring for spirometry is beneficial to assess the progression of lung disease and the effect of pulmonary rehabilitation. However, home spirometry fails to meet both accuracy and repeatability criteria in a satisfactory manner.

Digital diagnostics, biomarkers and therapeutics in an evolving healthcare system: From promise to practice

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Health care is shifting towards a digital‐guided system, integrating digital diagnostics, biomarkers and therapeutics in many care pathways. However, despite rapid technological advancement and preliminary adoption accelerated by the COVID‐19 pandemic, a significant implementation gap persists. This narrative review explores the causes of this

Sargassum Lung Syndrome: Air Flow Obstruction and Bronchial Inflammation Are Observed After Prolonged Exposure to Sargassum Gas Emissions in the Eastern Caribbean

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sargassum inundation of Caribbean and American shorelines is a growing environmental hazard. Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) and ammonia (NH3) produced by decomposing Sargassum could be involved in airway obstruction and bronchial inflammation. The study was undertaken to evaluate the effects of exposure to H2S and NH3 gases emitted during Sargassum ...

Predicting total lung capacity from spirometry: a machine learning approach

Frontiers in Medicine, 2023
Background and objectiveSpirometry patterns can suggest that a patient has a restrictive ventilatory impairment; however, lung volume measurements such as total lung capacity (TLC) are required to confirm the diagnosis.

Intravenous paracetamol does not have significant opioid‐sparing effects when used as part of a multimodal analgesic protocol in dogs undergoing elective orthopaedic surgery

Veterinary Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Data evaluating paracetamol combined with NSAIDs in dogs are scarce. Results of clinical studies in dogs investigating intravenous paracetamol vary. Methods Dogs were randomised to either receive 10 mg/kg paracetamol intravenously after induction of anaesthesia and every 8 hours during hospitalisation (test) or not (control).

Decreased handgrip strength can predict lung function impairment in male workers: a cross sectional study

BMC Pulmonary Medicine, 2020
Background Spirometry is useful for evaluating respiratory health status and predicting health-related outcomes. As spirometry requires skilled technician and takes time, it is useful to find simple way for predicting lung function impairment. The aim of

A multi-centre, randomized, controlled trial on coaching and telemonitoring in patients with cystic fibrosis: conneCT CF

BMC Pulmonary Medicine, 2021
Background The extend of lung disease remains the most important prognostic factor for survival in patients with cystic fibrosis (CF), and lack of adherence is the main reason for treatment failure.

Early Risk Assessment and Recognition of Allergies in Children: Rationale, Methodology, and Proposed Algorithms

Allergy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Atopic diseases—including atopic dermatitis (AD), food allergy (FA), allergic rhinitis (AR), and asthma—are the most common chronic conditions in childhood and adolescence, affecting up to 30% of the global population. In Germany alone, more than 2.1 million children and adolescents are affected.

Comparing Approaches to Teaching Patients How to Use an App-Based Home Spirometer: Randomized Controlled Trial

JMIR Formative Research
BackgroundBluetooth-enabled, app-based home spirometry has been validated for use in the diagnosis and monitoring of respiratory disease. Remote teaching (virtual or self-directed) of patients on how to use an app-based home spirometry offers the ...
