Prognostic Value of Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index for Patients with Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
ConclusionData indicate that GNRI has good prognostic ability in patients with NSCLC. Individuals with low GNRI are at an increased risk of poor OS and DFS. GNRI could be incorporated as a simple, easy-to-use tool for the initial stratification of patients thereby allowing focused treatment plans. (Source: Lung)

Trajectories of Severe Exacerbations of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease and Their Relationship with Mortality Risk
ConclusionDifferent possible trajectories of severe AECOPD before and after a first specialized consultation are associated with different mortality risks. An inconsistent pattern of exacerbations has a mortality risk between Ex and NEx, with no clear differences between CONV-Ex and CONV-NEx. (Source: Lung)

Comparison of a 22G Crown-Cut Needle with a Conventional 22G Needle with EBUS Guidance in Diagnosis of Sarcoidosis
ConclusionsDespite equivalence in diagnostic accuracy, the crown-cut needle was superior to the conventional needle in detecting granulomas and histiocytes. This indicates greater potential for obtaining higher quality sample material with the crown-cut needle in cases of granulomatous inflammation. (Source: Lung)

Avanafil as a Novel Therapeutic Agent Against LPS-Induced Acute Lung Injury via Increasing CGMP to Downregulate the TLR4-NF- κB-NLRP3 Inflammasome Signaling Pathway
ConclusionWe suggest that avanafil may prevent the progression of ALI and be effective in its treatment. We hope that this study will be supported by future clinical studies to yield a new indication for avanafil. (Source: Lung)
