Sleep-Disordered Breathing in Adults with Precapillary Pulmonary Hypertension: Prevalence and Predictors of Nocturnal Hypoxemia
ConclusionOur study found that the majority of the participants had some type of SDB with a marked predominance of OSA over CSA, while half of them had nocturnal desaturation. Neither clinical and hemodynamic parameters nor the RDI was a predictor of nocturnal desaturation, except for mPAP measured during a right heart catheterization, which emerged as the only independent and significant predictor of average SpO2.

Anti-inflammatory Properties of the Alpha-Melanocyte-Stimulating Hormone in Models of Granulomatous Inflammation
ConclusionOur results confirm the direct role of type I IFNs in the pathogenesis of sarcoid lung granulomas and highlight α-MSH as a potential novel therapeutic agent for treating pulmonary sarcoidosis.Graphical Abstract (Source: Lung)
