Current GOLD recommendations and its implementation within hospitalised COPD patients in Malta [PDF]
In 2012, Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease (GOLD) revised their classification of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease patients, incorporating spirometry, symptoms and recent exacerbations.

Diffusion weighted imaging in cystic fibrosis disease: beyond morphological imaging [PDF]
To explore the feasibility of diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) to assess inflammatory lung changes in patients with Cystic Fibrosis (CF) METHODS: CF patients referred for their annual check-up had spirometry, chest-CT and MRI on the same day.

The beneficial effects of finerenone in patients with heart failure (HF) and mildly reduced or preserved ejection fraction were consistent, regardless of a history of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) status. BMI, body mass index; LVEF, left ventricular ejection fraction; NT‐proBNP, N‐terminal pro‐B‐type natriuretic peptide.

Ventilation inhomogeneity in patients with cystic fibrosis measured by electrical impedance tomography [PDF]
Objective: The distribution of ventilation within the lung is inhomogeneous. We hypothesized that the degree of inhomogeneity in patients with cystic fibrosis (CF) differs from that in healthy subjects.

Adaptive respiratory muscle trainer based on hybrid nanogenerator sensor and artificial intelligence
We manufacture a training device for respiratory muscle resistance training, with respiratory states sensing and resistance self‐adaption. Abstract Respiratory muscle training can improve respiratory function by strengthening muscle mass, which is of great help to populations with respiratory system diseases and athletes.

COPD Classification in CT Images Using a 3D Convolutional Neural Network [PDF]
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a lung disease that is not fully reversible and one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality in the world. Early detection and diagnosis of COPD can increase the survival rate and reduce the risk of COPD progression in patients.
