Baseline Neutrophil‐To‐Lymphocyte Ratio as a Risk Stratification Marker for Severe Checkpoint Inhibitor Pneumonitis in Patients With Non‐Small Cell Lung Cancer: A Two‐Cohort Study With Retrospective Discovery and Prospective Validation

Respirology, EarlyView.
The association between baseline neutrophil‐to‐lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and severe checkpoint inhibitor pneumonitis (CIP) was analyzed in discovery retrospective and validation prospective cohorts. Higher baseline NLR (≥ 4.75) was associated with increased severe CIP incidence in both cohorts.

Biomarkers of Pre‐COPD Lung Function Trajectories in Middle Age: A Prospective Study From 1st to 6th Decade

Respirology, EarlyView.
Identifying impaired lifetime lung function trajectories is key to identifying the preclinical phase of COPD (Pre‐COPD) or prognosis of COPD. We have identified that some circulating established COPD biomarkers differ across ‘pre‐COPD’ lung function trajectories, suggesting that some COPD‐specific pathobiological processes, including inflammation, are ...

Three Spirometry‐Based At‐Risk Phenotypes Predict Incident Airflow Limitation: A Population‐Based Study

Respirology, EarlyView.
Analysing the population‐based KORA and SHIP studies, three spirometric at‐risk subtypes (early airflow limitation, PRISm, and small airway dysfunction) were consistently associated with incident airflow limitation. Their combination in a conceptual framework identified most future cases with high negative predictive value, suggesting potential for ...

Black-pigmented sputum

Journal of Cytology, 2013
Black-pigmented sputum, also called "melanoptysis," is a symptom that may be observed in certain pathologies such us coal workers' pneumoconiosis (anthracosis). The cavitation and liquefaction of a fibrosed mass by an infectious process (tuberculosis, infections by anaerobes, etc.) or by ischemic necrosis may cause expectoration of a blackish secretion.
