Chest imaging classification in Mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia is associated with its clinical features and outcomes
The imaging findings of Mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia (MPP) vary; however, few studies have focused on the relationship of imaging classification with clinical manifestations and outcomes. (Source: Respiratory Medicine)

Systematic literature review of traits and outcomes reported in randomised controlled trials of asthma with regular dosing of inhaled corticosteroids with short-acting β2-agonist reliever, as-needed ICS/formoterol, or ICS/formoterol maintenance and reliever therapy
Asthma treatments based solely on diagnostic label do not benefit patients equally. To identify patient traits that may be associated with improved treatment response to regular inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) dosing with short-acting β2-agonist reliever or ICS/formoterol-containing therapy, a systematic literature review (SLR) was conducted.

Impact of wearing a surgical facemask during exercise on dyspnea in patients with chronic pulmonary infections: A randomized crossover study
Wearing facemasks in public is effective in preventing viral transmission. However, no study has evaluated the impact of wearing facemasks during exercise on dyspnea in patients with chronic pulmonary infections from multifaceted aspects, including sensory qualities and emotional responses. The aim of this study was to evaluate facemask-related dyspnea during exercise in this patient population. (Source: Respiratory Medicine)

Accurate and continuous respiratory rate using touchless monitoring technology
Respiratory rate is a commonly used vital sign with various clinical applications. It serves as a crucial marker of acute health issues and any significant alteration in respiratory rate may be an early warning sign of major issues such as infections in the respiratory tract, respiratory failure, or cardiac arrest. Timely recognition of changes in respiratory rate enables prompt medical action, while neglecting to detect a change may lead to adverse patient outcomes. Here, we report on the performance of respiratory rate determined using a depth sensing camera system (RRdepth) which allows for continuous, non-contact ‘to...

Magnetic resonance in nontuberculous mycobacteria pulmonary disease: A new approach
Computed tomography (CT) is currently the most accurate imaging technique in the diagnosis and follow-up of infectious and non-infectious chronic lung diseases. In particular, it is considered the gold standard for the evaluation of nontuberculous mycobacterial (NTM) lung diseases [1] and, in general, for all bronchiectatic diseases [2]. However, due to the chronic status of these diseases, exposure to ionising radiation throughout the patient's life need to be considered [3]. (Source: Respiratory Medicine)

High-flow nasal cannula may prolong the length of hospital stay in patients with hypercapnic acute COPD exacerbation
High-flow nasal cannula (HFNC) is increasingly used in patients with acute exacerbation of COPD (AECOPD). We aimed to confirm whether the baseline bicarbonate is an independent predictor of outcomes in patients with hypercapnic AECOPD receiving HFNC. (Source: Respiratory Medicine)

Implementation of a prospective screening strategy to identify adults with a telomere biology disorder among those undergoing lung transplant evaluation for interstitial lung disease
Patients with interstitial lung disease (ILD) secondary to telomere biology disorders (TBD) experience increased morbidity after lung transplantation. Identifying patients with TBD may allow for personalized management to facilitate better outcomes. However, establishing a TBD diagnosis in adults is challenging. (Source: Respiratory Medicine)
