Pulmonary function and chest CT abnormalities 3 months after discharge from COVID-19, 2020-2021: A nation-wide multicenter prospective cohort study from the Japanese respiratory society
CONCLUSION: We reported a comprehensive analysis of post-COVID-19 condition, pulmonary function, and chest CT abnormalities in Japanese patients with COVID-19.

FEV < sub > 1 < /sub > and FVC as robust risk factors for cardiovascular disease and mortality: Insights from a large population study
DISCUSSION: Reduced FEV1 and FVC represent robust risk factors for cardiovascular disease and mortality. The fact that the increased risk was evident also at FEV1 and FVC levels exceeding 80 %pred challenges the contemporary classification of lung function categories and the notion that the entire FEV1- and FVC-range above 80 % of predicted represents a normal lung function.PMID:38670319 | DOI:10.1016/j.rmed.2024.107614 (Source: Respiratory Care)

The cause of these symptoms remained obscure despite a thorough, month-long hospitalization. On presentation, she was normotensive with a pulse of 98 beats/minute, respiratory rate of 20 breaths/minute, and a temperature of 39.4C. She was emaciated. Physical examination was notable for faint bibasilar crackles on lung auscultation. Initial laboratory testing revealed pancytopenia. Peripheral smear demons...

Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease (GOLD) 2023 Guidelines Reviewed
Open Respir Med J. 2024 Jan 10;18:e18743064279064. doi: 10.2174/0118743064279064231227070344. eCollection 2024.ABSTRACTThe Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease (GOLD) report is an essential resource for all clinicians who strive to provide optimal care to patients with chronic obstructive lung disease (COPD). The annual report of GOLD makes few revisions and updates besides including data from the preceding year. At an interval, GOLD comes up with a significant modification in its guidelines, which is generally a major overhaul of the pre-existing guidelines. According to the latest 2023 updates, publishe...

European pathways of care in Alpha-1 Antitrypsin deficiency
CONCLUSIONS: European care pathways for AATD are largely uniform, but with notable heterogeneity in testing approaches and a need for education and standardisation. Familiarity with and use of ERN-LUNG AATD services is variable, and increased awareness of these services is warranted.PMID:38661678 | DOI:10.1016/j.rmed.2023.107450 (Source: Respiratory Care)
