Chronic Respiratory Diseases in the 2023‐Defined WHO Western Pacific Region: Burden and Trends From GBD 2023

Med Research, EarlyView.
Chronic respiratory disease burden in the 2023‐defined WHO Western Pacific Region, 1990–2023: Using the Global Burden of Disease 2023 estimates, this study characterized the incidence, prevalence, deaths, and disability‐adjusted life years (DALYs) associated with chronic respiratory diseases (CRDs) in the 37 WHO Western Pacific Region Member States and

Online home spirometry in national pulmonary fibrosis care: insights from daily practice

ERJ Open Research
Background Monitoring lung function course in patients with pulmonary fibrosis is crucial to guide treatment decisions. Online home spirometry holds great potential for close monitoring and improving care access in times of pressured healthcare systems ...

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.

Electronic feedback messages for home spirometry lung transplant recipients [PDF]

Heart & Lung, 2008
Lung transplant recipients use a telemedicine device known as the electronic home spirometer to gauge the function of their lungs when they are away from the hospital or clinic setting. Health care providers review transmitted spirometry tests and user's symptom responses to detect early signs of infection and or rejection.

Predictors for Successful Non‐Invasive Ventilation in Patients With Neuralgic Amyotrophy and Phrenic Nerve Involvement

Muscle &Nerve, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction/Aims Phrenic nerve involvement in neuralgic amyotrophy (NA) may cause diaphragm paresis and respiratory impairment, for which chronic non‐invasive ventilation (NIV) may be beneficial. Data on treatment success and predictors are lacking.

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.

Clinical Outcomes and Acute Exacerbation Incidence in Combined Pulmonary Fibrosis and Emphysema

Respirology, EarlyView.
This multicentre prospective study of 1016 patients demonstrated that CPFE, defined as ≥ 5% emphysema on visual CT assessment, identified a high‐risk phenotype with significantly worse 5‐year survival compared to non‐CPFE IIP patients (51.4% vs. 63.1%) and COPD patients (51.4% vs. 84.0%) and higher acute exacerbation incidence, validating international

Safety and tolerability of pirfenidone in asbestosis: a prospective multicenter study

Respiratory Research, 2022
Background Pirfenidone slows down disease progression in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). Recent studies suggest a treatment effect in progressive pulmonary fibrosis other than IPF.

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 ...

Monitoring respiratory function with telemedicine devices in asthmatic children

Frontiers in Medicine
IntroductionPediatric asthma requires continuous monitoring, traditionally reliant on in-person assessments. Home-based telespirometry offers a promising approach, enabling regular lung function testing, early exacerbation detection, and improved disease
