Radial Endobronchial Ultrasound-guided Transbronchial Cryobiopsy < em > versus < /em > Forceps Biopsy for the Diagnosis of Solitary Pulmonary Nodules: A Prospective Randomised Trial
CONCLUSION: Transbronchial cryobiopsy under the guidance of fluoroscopy and radial EBUS facilitates larger biopsy specimens without a significant increase in major complications. Further research is required to confirm the effect on diagnostic yield; however, our study supports a role for TB-CB in the diagnosis of SPNs and small, nodule-adjacent biopsies.CLINICAL TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER: Reference number of R20160213(HREC/16/RAH/37).PMID:38655074 | PMC:PMC11037509 | DOI:10.2174/0118743064262132230922110818 (Source: Open Respiratory Medicine Journal)

Evidence-based Practice Interventions for Reducing Postoperative Pulmonary Complications: A Narrative Review
CONCLUSION: The literature review concluded that patients who received multiple interventions showed significant improvement in pulmonary function postoperatively. However, definitive studies need to be conducted to solidify this conclusion.PMID:38655075 | PMC:PMC11037507 | DOI:10.2174/012210299X247199231128100613 (Source: Open Respiratory Medicine Journal)

A Bioinformatic Algorithm based on Pulmonary Endoarterial Biopsy for Targeted Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension Therapy
CONCLUSION: We describe a new potential paradigm in the therapy for PAH, which would include endoarterial biopsy, molecular analysis and tailored pharmacological therapy for patients with PAH.PMID:38655076 | PMC:PMC11037516 | DOI:10.2174/18743064-v17-230927-2023-9 (Source: Open Respiratory Medicine Journal)

Usefulness of High-resolution Computed Tomography for Macrolide Therapy of Idiopathic Bronchiectasis
CONCLUSION: HRCT severity assessment might be useful in predicting treatment efficacy in patients with idiopathic bronchiectasis without previous AEs. Further large-scale clinical trials are required on the usefulness of HRCT in the future.PMID:37916133 | PMC:PMC10507212 | DOI:10.2174/18743064-v17-230822-2022-27 (Source: Open Respiratory Medicine Journal)

Risk Factors Related to the Death of Admitted COVID-19 Patients: A Buffalo Study
CONCLUSION: The main result of the study is the independent risk factors related to the death of admitted COVID-19 patients including Brixia scores > 9, Urea > 7 mmol/L, Ferrtin > 578 ng/ml, Failure to get vaccinated, Age > 60 years, and Low Oxygen SpO2 < 87% ((BUFFALO) which suggests that these COVID-19 patients should be closely followed up.PMID:37916134 | PMC:PMC10351335 | DOI:10.2174/18743064-v17-e230322-2022-21 (Source: Open Respiratory Medicine Journal)

Spirometry Reference Equations Including Existing and Novel Parameters
CONCLUSION: These reference equations, which account for birth sex, age, height, and ethnicity for existing and novel spirometry parameters, provide a more comprehensive and quantitative evaluation of spirometry and the flow-volume curve.PMID:37916135 | PMC:PMC10351349 | DOI:10.2174/18743064-v16-e221227-2022-14 (Source: Open Respiratory Medicine Journal)

Diagnosis and Management of Patients with Connective Tissue Disease-related Fibrosing Interstitial Lung Diseases
CONCLUSION: Clinical impact or potential implications. Response to immunosuppression and antifibrotic therapy is variable in patients with connective tissue disease-related fibrosing interstitial lung disease. Data from prospective clinical trials and longitudinal registry studies will conceivably provide additional insight into improving care for these patients.PMID:37916138 | PMC:PMC10507213 | DOI:10.2174/18743064-v17-e230714-2022-26 (Source: Open Respiratory Medicine Journal)
