Development and validation of a nomogram for differentiating immune checkpoint inhibitor-related pneumonitis from pneumonia in patients undergoing immunochemotherapy: a multicenter, real-world, retrospective study - PubMed
Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40458408/
The nomogram offers a non-invasive approach to differentiate CIP from pneumonia associated with immunochemotherapy, potentially facilitating early intervention and informed treatment decisions.
This study developed a non-invasive nomogram to differentiate CIP from pneumonia in immunochemotherapy patients, identifying COPD as a key predictor, thereby supporting early diagnosis and improved clinical decisions.
Videoconferencing interventions and COPD patient outcomes: A systematic review - PubMed
Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36883234/
The videoconferencing interventions resulted in high levels of patient satisfaction, despite facing technological issues. Overall, more research is needed to better understand the effects of videoconferencing interventions on resource utilization...
This systematic review of 39 studies finds that videoconferencing in COPD care increases patient satisfaction but yields mixed outcomes for resource use and lifestyle changes, highlighting the need for further research.
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease exacerbations' management in Portuguese hospitals - EvaluateCOPDpt, a multicentre, observational, prospective study - PubMed
Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36115826/
The severity of COPD, particularly in exacerbations, is directly related to impaired lung function and quality of life, mortality, and significant health system costs. Knowledge about COPD exacerbations' management in...
A multicentre Portuguese study assessed COPD exacerbation management in hospitals, revealing treatment patterns, discharge outcomes, and readmission rates, highlighting the need for improved clinical practices and follow-up care.
Sputum Microbiome, Potentially Pathogenic Organisms, and Clinical Outcomes in Japanese Patients with COPD and Moderate Airflow Limitation: The Prospective AERIS-J Study - PubMed
Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40391128/
A less diverse microbiome correlated with poorer health status and lower blood basophils in patients with COPD and moderate airflow limitation. There was no relationship between PPO presence and microbiome...
This Japanese study links lower lung microbiome diversity to worse COPD symptoms and reduced blood basophils, highlighting microbiome-immune interactions in moderate COPD and expanding evidence beyond Western populations.
Patient response and remission in respiratory disease: Special focus on severe asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease - PubMed
Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40391556/
Over the past decades, monoclonal antibodies have been playing a pivotal role in the treatment of chronic inflammatory airway diseases. Currently, ample data are available on the efficacy and safety...
Narrative review of biologic therapies in severe asthma and COPD, focusing on clinical response, remission markers, and evolving roles of inhaled treatments, with implications for personalized, drug-free management strategies.
