Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a chronic and progressive interstitial lung disease (ILD) with poor prognosis and limited therapeutic options. The introduction of antifibrotic agents has improved survival outcomes in IPF patients, which has le...
Background: Occupational bronchopulmonary diseases (OBPDs)—including pneumoconiosis, silicosis, and occupational COPD—remain a pressing public health issue, especially in regions with intensive mining, metallurgy, and construction industr...
Background and Objectives: Discrimination between various causes of exudative pleural effusion (PE) remains a major clinical challenge, and to date, definitive biochemical markers for this discrimination remain lacking. An increasing number of studie...
Background: School-based tobacco control policies are critical for preventing youth tobacco use. While many districts adopt formal policies to create smoke- and vape-free environments, the degree to which these policies are enforced at the school lev...
Primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) is a rare, genetically heterogeneous disorder that impairs mucociliary clearance and leads to progressive lung disease. This study aimed to characterize lung function decline in a genetically homogeneous cohort of Pue...
Measurement of nitric oxide (NO) concentration in exhaled breath (FeNO) is a quantitative, non-invasive, simple, and safe method for assessing airway inflammation. It serves as a complementary tool to other methods for evaluating airway diseases. How...
Background: The role of impulse oscillometry (IOS) in evaluating asthma control remains a challenge because the interpretation varies by many factors, including ethnicity. We aimed to assess the diagnostic contribution of spirometry and IOS, establis...
The therapeutic target of COVID-19 is focused on controlling inflammation and preventing fibrosis. Collagen–polyvinylpyrrolidone (collagen-PVP) and pirfenidone both have the ability to control the cytokine storm observed in rheumatic and fibrot...
The lung microbiota is integral to maintaining microenvironmental homeostasis, influencing immune regulation, host defense against pathogens, and overall respiratory health. The dynamic interplay among the lung microbiota emphasizes their significanc...
Background: COVID-19 most often affects the respiratory system and may manifest as acute respiratory failure requiring the use of non-invasive respiratory support (NIRS). The aim of this study was to find predictors based on laboratory results and ch...
