Objective: The frequency of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is high. The clinical course of non-IPF interstitial lung disease (ILD) can be similar to that of IPF. We sought to assess the frequency and predictors of OSA in patients with non-IPF fibrotic ILD, as well as the impact of positive airway pressure (PAP) therapy on the quality of life of such patients.

Article Synopsis
  • Specific Pathogen-Free (SPF) animals, like the BALB/c mice, are essential for reliable research as they are bred to be free from harmful pathogens.
  • This study aimed to explore the natural infection of BALB/c mice by Bartonella henselae, a widespread bacterium, by analyzing various tissues for the presence of its DNA.
  • All tested mice showed positive results for B. henselae DNA, indicating that this bacterium can infect laboratory mice, which may compromise research outcomes if not addressed.
