Background/Objectives: Community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) is classified into typical and atypical forms, with Mycoplasma pneumoniae, Chlamydia pneumoniae, and Legionella pneumophila being the most common atypical pathogens and Streptococcus pneumonia...

Haemoptysis arises from diverse respiratory diseases and may involve a broad spectrum of thoracic vessels. Arterial embolisation (AE) is an effective, repeatable, minimally invasive treatment option for life-threatening haemoptysis. This case series...

Background: Dysfunctional breathing patterns may impair autonomic regulation and increase perceived stress. Breathing-based interventions, particularly those involving guided exercises and supportive tools, have the potential to provide non-pharmacol...

During the COVID-19 pandemic, the global focus on SARS-CoV-2 overshadowed the epidemiology of other respiratory pathogens. This study aimed to characterize the circulation of endemic human coronaviruses (HCoVs) in Brazil. We retrospectively analyzed...

Background: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is recognized as a systemic disorder associated with several comorbidities, including renal dysfunction, which may improve with continuous positive airway pressure (C-PAP) therapy. Sleep fragmentation and noc...

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a major health burden in India with limited real-world data on triple inhaler therapy. This prospective, open-label, multi-center, single-arm, phase 4 study (October 2023–August 2024) assessed the...

Introduction: Minimally invasive video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) for lung cancer has become a widely used approach. However, postoperative pulmonary complications (PCs) such as pneumonia, atelectasis, and lung fistula remain significant challe...

Human airways maintain homeostasis through intricate cellular interactomes combining secretome-mediated signalling and mechanotransduction feedback loops. This review presents the first unified map of bidirectional mechanobiology–secretome inte...

Background: Some hypersensitivity pneumonitis (HP) patients exhibit autoimmune features (HPAF). This study compared outcomes of HPAF and HP without autoimmune features, focusing on progressive pulmonary fibrosis (PPF) and response to immunosuppressio...

Background: Essential hypertension is associated with an increased risk of pulmonary hypertension (PH). PH is diagnosed more frequently in females. Little is known about the effects of a plant-based diet (PBD) in improving lung abnormalities in PH. M...
