Incidence, management and prognosis of new-onset sarcoidosis post COVID-19 infection
CONCLUSIONS: Our result suggests there is a potential link between COVID-19 and new-onset sarcoidosis. The potential mechanism for this is through cytokine mediated immune modulation in COVID-19 infection. Obtaining a tissue sample remains key in confirming the diagnosis of sarcoidosis and this may be delayed during active COVID-19 infection.PMID:38567560 | DOI:10.36141/svdld.v41i1.15027 (Source: Sarcoidosis Vasculitis and Diffuse Lung Diseases)

Rehabilitation interventions to modify physical frailty in adults before lung transplantation: a systematic review protocol
Introduction Lung transplantation is the gold-standard treatment for end-stage lung disease for a small group of patients meeting strict acceptance criteria after optimal medical management has failed. Physical frailty is prevalent in lung transplant candidates and has been linked to worse outcomes both on the waiting list and postoperatively. Exercise has been proven to be beneficial in optimising exercise capacity and quality of life in lung transplant candidates, but its impact on physical frailty is unknown. This review aims to assess the effectiveness of exercise interventions in modifying physical frailty for adults ...

Impact of recipient and donor pretransplantation body mass index on early postosperative complications after lung transplantation
Prior studies have assessed the impact of the pretransplantation recipient body mass index (BMI) on patient outcomes after lung transplantation (LT), but they have not specifically addressed early postoperativ... (Source: BMC Pulmonary Medicine)

A WNT mimetic with broad spectrum FZD-specificity decreases fibrosis and improves function in a pulmonary damage model
CONCLUSIONS: Our results highlight the unexpected capacity of a WNT mimetic to effect tissue repair after lung damage and support the continued development of Wnt/β-catenin pathway modulation for the treatment of pulmonary fibrosis.PMID:38566174 | DOI:10.1186/s12931-024-02786-2 (Source: Cell Research)
