CONCLUSIONS: In patients with post-COVID-19 syndrome with pulmonary involvement, muscle deoxygenation of QF is greater during maximal exercise than during submaximal exercise. Specifically, patients with lung impairment should be evaluated for deoxygenation and should be taken into consideration during pulmonary rehabilitation.PMID:38469863 | DOI:10.1080/09593985.2024.2327534 (Source: Physiotherapy Theory and Practice)

Pulmonary hypertension in newly diagnosed obstructive sleep apnea-chronic obstructive pulmonary disease overlap syndrome patients attending a tertiary care centre —a cross-sectional analysis
ConclusionThis study confirms that OSA patients with modest daytime level of hypoxemia and mild-moderate chronic airflow limitation have a high prevalence of PH. Chronic airway obstruction may be asymptomatic in some subjects and this stresses the necessity of pulmonary function test in OSA. (Source: Irish Journal of Medical Science)

Effect of postoperative exercise training on physical function and quality of life of lung cancer patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease: A randomized controlled trial
CONCLUSION: This study demonstrates that a short-term postoperative exercise training program can facilitate the recovery of functional capacity in lung cancer patients with comorbidities of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.PMID:38457572 | DOI:10.1097/MD.0000000000037285 (Source: Cancer Control)

Complete anatomic segmentectomy shows improved oncologic outcomes compared to incomplete anatomic segmentectomy
CONCLUSIONS: This single-center experience suggests complete anatomic segmentectomy provides superior locoregional control and may improve survival relative to incomplete anatomic segmentectomy. We recommend surgeons perform complete anatomic segmentectomy and lymph node dissection whenever possible.PMID:38457605 | DOI:10.1093/ejcts/ezae089 (Source: Cancer Control)

Pulmonary function testing in preoperative high-risk patients
ConclusionsOur screening program detected a relevant number of patients with previously unknown obstructive ventilatory disorders and impaired pulmonary gas exchange. This newly discovered sickness is associated with low metabolic equivalents and may influence perioperative outcomes. Whether optimized management of patients with previously unknown impaired lung function leads to a better outcome should be evaluated in multicenter studies.Trial registrationGerman Registry of Clinical Studies (DRKS00029337), registered on: June 22nd, 2022.

Reactance inversion in moderate to severe persistent asthma: low birth weight, prematurity effect, and bronchodilator response
Conclusion: RI is frequently found in children with moderate-severe persistent asthma, particularly in those with a history of prematurity or low birth weight. In some patients, RI disappears after the bronchodilator test; however, it, persists in those with the worst pulmonary function. RI could be a small airway dysfunction marker.PMID:38426671 | DOI:10.1080/02770903.2024.2324865 (Source: Journal of Asthma)

Association between body fat decrease during the first year after diagnosis and the prognosis of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis: CT-based body composition analysis
CONCLUSION: A ≥ 52.3 cm2 decrease in fat area, automatically measured using deep learning technique, at T12-L1 in one year post-diagnosis was an independent poor prognostic factor in IPF patients.PMID:38418966 | DOI:10.1186/s12931-024-02712-6 (Source: Respiratory Care)

Impact of Energy Malnutrition on Exacerbation Hospitalization in Patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease: Retrospective Observational Study
J Nutr Sci Vitaminol (Tokyo). 2024;70(1):44-52. doi: 10.3177/jnsv.70.44.ABSTRACTNutritional disorders in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are associated with cachexia, sarcopenia, and weight loss. In particular, weight loss is a prognostic factor in COPD independent of pulmonary function, and energy malnutrition is a contributing factor. Frequent exacerbation hospitalization is also a prognostic factor for COPD patients. The impact of energy malnutrition on adverse events such as exacerbation hospitalization is unknown, and this study aimed to investigate that. We included 163 male subjects with C...
