Unveiling the Influence of AI on Advancements in Respiratory Care: Narrative Review.

Background: Artificial intelligence is experiencing rapid growth, with continual innovation and advancements in the health care field.

Objective: This study aims to evaluate the application of artificial intelligence technologies across various domains of respiratory care.

Methods: We conducted a narrative review to examine the latest advancements in the use of artificial intelligence in the field of respiratory care.

Perceived Barriers of Clinical Roles Towards Intensive Care Unit Mobility.

There is overwhelming evidence of improved patient outcomes as a result of early mobilization in the intensive care unit (ICU). However, several barriers of ICU mobility remain understated with reference to clinical roles. The purpose of this study is to investigate the perceived barriers of early mobility of critically ill patients among ICU healthcare providers.

E-cigarette use and respiratory symptoms in adults: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Introduction: Electronic cigarette (e-cigarette) use is gaining popularity among adults. Monitoring e-cigarette-induced respiratory symptoms is crucial for both clinical and regulatory purposes. We systematically reviewed the current literature to understand the prevalence of respiratory symptoms among exclusive e-cigarette users, dual users, and former smokers.

The relationship between chronic lung disease diagnosis and the susceptibility to e-cigarette use in adults: The mediation effects of psychosocial, cognitive influences, and the moderation effect of physiological factors.

Introduction: There is a paucity of studies on e-cigarette use among adults with chronic lung disease. In the present study, we aimed to assess whether psychosocial or cognitive factors elucidate the relationship between chronic lung disease (CLD) and susceptibility to e-cigarette use and whether the relationship between CLD and e-cigarette use is conditional on the presence of respiratory symptoms.

Methods: We recruited adults aged ≥18 years in Alabama with CLD from university medical clinics (n=140) and individuals without CLD (n=123 as a reference group).

The need for race-specific reference equations for pulmonary diffusing capacity for nitric oxide.

Background: Few reference equations exist for healthy adults of various races for pulmonary diffusing capacity for nitric oxide (DLNO). The purpose of this study was to collect pilot data to demonstrate that race-specific reference equations are needed for DLNO.

Methods: African Americans (blacks) were chosen as the comparative racial group.
