Article Synopsis
- Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) communication improves autonomous driving by enhancing safety, efficiency, and comfort through techniques like cooperative perception, which involves sharing sensor data to better accommodate vulnerable road users.
- The paper introduces a roadside perception unit (RSPU) that integrates various sensors and roadside units, along with a software called AutoC2X, to facilitate cooperative perception between vehicles and RSPUs.
- An evaluation of the RSPU system, including a field test and simulations, demonstrated its effectiveness, achieving message delivery to autonomous vehicles within 100 ms, even during heavy traffic, thanks to a developed priority algorithm that ensures a wide perception range and low latency.
Study Objectives: Although the benefit of pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) has been demonstrated for patients with COPD, the benefit for patients with non-COPD lung disorders is still unclear. In the present study, we compared the effect of PR on patients with post-tuberculosis (TBC) lung disorders and patients with COPD.
Design: We performed a prospective nonrandomized open trial over a 9-week period.

Pulmonary rehabilitation is one of the most important treatment modalities for patients with chronic lung disease. To determine the effects of an outpatient pulmonary rehabilitation program for the older members (aged 77 +/- 3 years; seniors) of an elderly patient group with chronic lung disease, we prospectively compared the degrees of improvement of lung function, dyspnea, daily activities and exercise tolerance (6-minute walking distance) after a 9-week rehabilitation program in 27 seniors with chronic lung disease (COPD 18, post-tuberculosis lung disorders 8, lung fibrosis 1; %FEV1 50.9 +/- 17.
