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)

Average Volume-assured Pressure Support as Rescue Therapy after CPAP Failure in Pediatric Obstructive Sleep Apnea: A Retrospective Case Series Study
CONCLUSION: In this case a series of children with OSA and with failed CPAP titration, AVAPS resulted in a greater reduction in AHI compared with CPAP as well as resolution of the problems which caused CPAP failure.PMID:37916139 | PMC:PMC10351336 | DOI:10.2174/18743064-v17-e230418-2022-18 (Source: Open Respiratory Medicine Journal)
