Usefulness of High-resolution Computed Tomography for Macrolide Therapy of Idiopathic Bronchiectasis
CONCLUSION: HRCT severity assessment might be useful in predicting treatment efficacy in patients with idiopathic bronchiectasis without previous AEs. Further large-scale clinical trials are required on the usefulness of HRCT in the future.PMID:37916133 | PMC:PMC10507212 | DOI:10.2174/18743064-v17-230822-2022-27 (Source: Open Respiratory Medicine Journal)

Risk Factors Related to the Death of Admitted COVID-19 Patients: A Buffalo Study
CONCLUSION: The main result of the study is the independent risk factors related to the death of admitted COVID-19 patients including Brixia scores > 9, Urea > 7 mmol/L, Ferrtin > 578 ng/ml, Failure to get vaccinated, Age > 60 years, and Low Oxygen SpO2 < 87% ((BUFFALO) which suggests that these COVID-19 patients should be closely followed up.PMID:37916134 | PMC:PMC10351335 | DOI:10.2174/18743064-v17-e230322-2022-21 (Source: Open Respiratory Medicine Journal)

Spirometry Reference Equations Including Existing and Novel Parameters
CONCLUSION: These reference equations, which account for birth sex, age, height, and ethnicity for existing and novel spirometry parameters, provide a more comprehensive and quantitative evaluation of spirometry and the flow-volume curve.PMID:37916135 | PMC:PMC10351349 | DOI:10.2174/18743064-v16-e221227-2022-14 (Source: Open Respiratory Medicine Journal)

CAR Selectively Enhances the Pulmonary Vasodilatory Effect of Fasudil in a Microsphere Model of Pulmonary Hypertension
CONCLUSION: The homing peptide CAR selectively enhanced the acute vasodilatory effects of fasudil on the pulmonary vascular bed in a porcine experimental model of pulmonary hypertension.PMID:37916136 | PMC:PMC10351346 | DOI:10.2174/18743064-v17-e230404-2022-19 (Source: Open Respiratory Medicine Journal)

Role of Flexible Bronchoscopy using Biopsy Forceps as the Initial Attempt for Headscarf Pin Aspiration Extraction
CONCLUSION: Fibreoptic bronchoscopy with biopsy forceps under general anaesthesia is safe and effective for the removal of headscarf pin aspiration.PMID:37916137 | PMC:PMC10487336 | DOI:10.2174/18743064-v17-e230718-2023-5 (Source: Open Respiratory Medicine Journal)

Diagnosis and Management of Patients with Connective Tissue Disease-related Fibrosing Interstitial Lung Diseases
CONCLUSION: Clinical impact or potential implications. Response to immunosuppression and antifibrotic therapy is variable in patients with connective tissue disease-related fibrosing interstitial lung disease. Data from prospective clinical trials and longitudinal registry studies will conceivably provide additional insight into improving care for these patients.PMID:37916138 | PMC:PMC10507213 | DOI:10.2174/18743064-v17-e230714-2022-26 (Source: Open Respiratory Medicine Journal)

Average Volume-assured Pressure Support as Rescue Therapy after CPAP Failure in Pediatric Obstructive Sleep Apnea: A Retrospective Case Series Study
CONCLUSION: In this case a series of children with OSA and with failed CPAP titration, AVAPS resulted in a greater reduction in AHI compared with CPAP as well as resolution of the problems which caused CPAP failure.PMID:37916139 | PMC:PMC10351336 | DOI:10.2174/18743064-v17-e230418-2022-18 (Source: Open Respiratory Medicine Journal)
