Article Synopsis
- * A study analyzed 97 OSAS patients and categorized them into clusters based on their clinical features and leptin levels, observing that some had normal levels while others had high levels despite similar obesity.
- * After 6 months of CPAP treatment, excessive daytime sleepiness improved across all clusters, and leptin levels decreased significantly in one group; however, the role of leptin as a biomarker for CPAP efficacy remains inconclusive.
Article Synopsis
- * A total of 81 patients were included, with 63 in the chronic ILD group and 18 in the acute ILD group; several serum markers such as TAT, D-dimer, and SP-D were analyzed.
- * In AE-ILD, SP-D levels positively correlated with various coagulation markers, suggesting that these coagulation indicators may help in diagnosing AE-ILD alongside traditional alveolar damage markers.
