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.

The Association of Sarcopenic Obesity With Respiratory Function Outcomes in Adults: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis

Obesity Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sarcopenic obesity has been associated with various health conditions and mortality. Our objective was to systematically review and estimate the association between sarcopenic obesity and respiratory function outcomes. We searched EMBASE, MEDLINE, and Google Scholar for observational studies involving adults (≥ 18 years), defined sarcopenic ...

Intermittent hand and forearm immersion in 20°C water attenuates thermal, cardiovascular, and perceptual strain in older adults during heat stress

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Adults >65 years of age experience deleterious health effects during extreme heat events at a greater rate than any other age cohort. The purpose of this study was to identify the effectiveness of acute intermittent hand and forearm (H+F) water immersion and/or chronic (7 week) folic acid supplementation on reducing thermal and cardiovascular ...

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.

An Evaluation of Mortality Rates and Their Determinants in a Cohort of Former Asbestos Miners in South Africa

American Journal of Industrial Medicine, Volume 69, Issue 6, Page 446-460, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Background A causal association between occupational asbestos exposure and lung disease, including pneumoconiosis and mesothelioma, is well established. Elevated mortality among former asbestos miners is expected. However, large‐scale South African studies examining all‐cause mortality in this population are lacking.

Oxygen Supplementation Improves Oxygen Uptake Kinetics and Exercise Performance in PAH and CTEPH Patients

Comprehensive Physiology, Volume 16, Issue 3, June 2026.
In patients with pulmonary vascular diseases (PAH and CTEPH), supplemental oxygen (FiO2 0.3), compared to room air (FiO2 0.21) improved peak exercise capacity (peak V̇O2), peak sustainable exercise (V̇O2 at GET), and V̇O2 kinetics and the onset of exercise.

Description of the Protocol Investigating Whether Remote Care Can Reduce Clinic Attendance in Lung Transplantation

Pulmonary Therapy
Introduction Patients undergoing lung transplantation require regular monitoring to ensure that the transplanted lung(s) stay healthy. This is usually achieved through a combination of home spirometry combined with regular reviews in hospital outpatient ...

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

Allergy, Volume 81, Issue 6, Page 1971-1984, June 2026.
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.
