Background: Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is the most common Interstitial Lung Disease (ILD). It is characterized by dyspnoea and a progressive decline in lung function, which negatively affects life. This study aimed to evaluate Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQoL) in IPF patients in Latin American countries.

Article Synopsis
- Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a serious lung disease characterized by progressive fibrosis, and new imaging techniques using F-labeled FAP ligands may improve diagnostic capabilities.
- Researchers conducted a study involving eight patients with IPF, using [F]FAPI-74-PET/CT scans alongside HRCT to evaluate lung fibrosis.
- Initial findings suggest that [F]FAPI-74 can effectively assess fibrotic changes in the lungs, indicating its potential as a non-invasive diagnostic tool for IPF.
Multiple myeloma (MM) is the main indication for autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT). Novel supportive therapies (e.g.
