Comparative study of imaging and pathology of primary mucinous adenocarcinoma with different imaging manifestations
CONCLUSION: The different imaging manifestations of mucinous adenocarcinoma are possibly due to the different amounts or viscosity of mucus produced, and the mechanisms of its formation may include (1) tumour cells in different shapes have different abilities to produce mucus; (2) tumours in different stages produce different amounts or viscosity of mucus; and (3) the TTF-1 and ALK genes affect the production of mucus.PMID:38616354 | DOI:10.1111/crj.13750 (Source: Respiratory Care)

Novel application of nanomedicine for the treatment of acute lung injury: a literature review
Ther Adv Respir Dis. 2024 Jan-Dec;18:17534666241244974. doi: 10.1177/17534666241244974.ABSTRACTNanoparticles have attracted extensive attention due to their high degree of cell targeting, biocompatibility, controllable biological activity, and outstanding pharmacokinetics. Changing the size, morphology, and surface chemical groups of nanoparticles can increase the biological distribution of agents to achieve precise tissue targeting and optimize therapeutic effects. Examples of their use include nanoparticles designed for increasing antigen-specific immune responses, developing vaccines, and treating inflammatory diseases....

Household Air Pollution Interventions to Improve Health in Low- and Middle-Income Countries: An Official American Thoracic Society Research Statement
Conclusions: HAP is associated with adverse health effects in observational studies. However, it remains unclear which household energy interventions reduce exposure, improve health, can be scaled, and are sustainable. Researchers should engage with policy makers and practitioners working to scale cleaner energy solutions to understand and address their information needs.PMID:38619436 | DOI:10.1164/rccm.202402-0398ST (Source: Respiratory Care)

Telephone Support for Copd Patients During COVID-19
Open Respir Arch. 2020 Jul-Sep;2(3):179-185. doi: 10.1016/j.opresp.2020.05.009. Epub 2020 Aug 17.ABSTRACTThe state of alarm declared by the Spanish government as the main measure for preventing contagion has involved a change in the clinical management of chronic patients. Although new communication technologies offer us many ways to establish direct but remote contact, the peculiarities of the COPD patient often mean that their healthcare is reduced to telephone calls. The challenge of caring for COPD patients is made even more complex when it has to be delivered over the phone. The interview must be conducted without exa...

In this context, respiratory Physiotherapy emerges as a cornerstone in the interdisciplinary management warranted in this population. Given that the implementation and resources available for the interdisciplinary therapeutic interventions in Spain is scarce, it is essential to perform a comprehensive, exhaustive...

Independent effect of the triglyceride-glucose index on all-cause mortality in critically ill patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and asthma: A retrospective cohort study
CONCLUSIONS: In summary, our results extend the utility of the TyG index to critically ill patients with COPD and asthma. Our study shows that the TyG index is a potential predictor of all-cause mortality in critically ill patients with COPD and asthma. In addition, in patients with a TyG index exceeding 4.8, there was a heightened risk of mortality. Measuring the TyG index may help with risk stratification and prognosis prediction in critically ill patients with COPD and asthma. Further prospective studies are needed to confirm our findings.PMID:38607315 | PMC:PMC11015761 | DOI:10.1177/14799731241245424 (Source: Respiratory Care)
