Experience of Using Electronic Inhaler Monitoring Devices for Patients With Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease or Asthma: Systematic Review of Qualitative Studies
16-05-2025CONCLUSIONS: Patients have positive experiences using electronic monitoring devices for inhalation devices but also face various social, psychological, and technical challenges. Health care workers should consider patient experiences with EIMDs to tailor these devices to patient needs, ultimately enhancing device acceptance and adherence. Further research should focus on increasing EIMDs convenience and usability for patients with COPD and asthma.

Comparative effectiveness of azithromycin versus doxycycline in hospitalized patients with community acquired pneumonia treated with beta-lactams: A multicenter matched cohort study
16-05-2025CONCLUSIONS: Among hospitalized patients with community-acquired pneumonia, azithromycin was associated with a lower mortality and more hospital free days compared to doxycycline in combination with beta-lactams. Randomized controlled trials are needed to assess the effectiveness of each regimen and to compare their potential side effects.

The aspartate superpathway in gut microbiota-related metabolic pathways mediates immune cell protection against COPD and IPF: a Mendelian randomization analysis
16-05-2025BACKGROUND: Both genetic and environmental factors can influence idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) development. The gut microbiota plays crucial roles in maintaining tissue homeostasis. Dysregulation of the gut microbiota can result in disease. However, whether the alteration of the gut microbiota influences IPF and COPD remains unknown.

The clinical value of dual-phase CT angiography (CTA) of the pulmonary artery and bronchial artery in diagnosing bronchial artery-pulmonary artery fistula
16-05-2025To evaluate the diagnostic efficacy of dual-phase computed tomography angiography (CTA) in identifying bronchial artery-pulmonary artery fistulas (BPAF). A retrospective cohort study was conducted on 62 patients diagnosed with BPAF via dual-phase CTA at our institution between February 2022 and January 2025. Comprehensive analyses were performed to characterize vascular involvement patterns, ectopic vessel distribution, aberrant feeding vessels, and associated imaging features. Among the cohort,...

Diagnostic Performance of Sarcopenia Screening Tests in Chronic Lung Disease Patients
16-05-2025Objective: Sarcopenia, the gradual decline in skeletal muscle mass (SMM), strength, and functionality, has negative health consequences such as premature death and disability. It is prevalent in chronic lung disease (CLD). Timely recognition of sarcopenia is required for focused therapy. This study sought to analyze the rate of sarcopenia in patients with CLD and to assess the diagnostic accuracy of the sarcopenia screening tests: the SARC-F, SARC-CalF, and Ishii tests. Materials and Methods:...
