Unlabelled: Research suggests that vaping raises oxidative stress levels and has been implicated in poor mental health. The objective of this study is to assess cross-sectional associations between quality of life (QOL) indicators and e-cigarette (EC) use in young Canadian adults. We used data from the 2016-2017 Canadian Health Measures Survey.

To determine whether young EC users had increased asthma, asthma attacks, and health services use (HSU). This cohort study used the linked Canadian Community Health Survey (cycles 2015-16 and 2017-18) and health administrative data (January 2015-March 2018).

- Spirometry and plethysmography are crucial pulmonary function tests, but relying solely on spirometry can result in missed lung disease diagnoses, especially for restrictive conditions.
- Researchers developed a deep learning model using data from 748 patients to enhance the interpretation of spirometry results without plethysmography.
- The model demonstrated significantly better accuracy (94.67%) in diagnosing lung conditions compared to trained pulmonologists (66.67%) and decision trees (75.61%), suggesting that deep learning can effectively improve lung disease diagnostics.
