Background: We sought consensus among practising respiratory physicians on the prediction, identification and monitoring of progression in patients with fibrosing interstitial lung disease (ILD) using a modified Delphi process.

Methods: Following a literature review, statements on the prediction, identification and monitoring of progression of ILD were developed by a panel of physicians with specialist expertise. Practising respiratory physicians were sent a survey asking them to indicate their level of agreement with these statements on a binary scale or 7-point Likert scale (- 3 to 3), or to select answers from a list.

Background: Minimally invasive approaches for rectal cancer treatment are emerging as the standard of care. Robotic surgery is unfeasible across the country due to constrained resource allocation. This study aimed to assess the oncologic efficacy of laparoscopic resection for rectal cancer in a resource-limited setting.

This study evaluated the impact of various doses (5, 10, 15 g) and application sequences (1, 2, or 3 times at monthly intervals) of arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungal inoculum on cardamom seedlings over two years (2020-2021 and 2021-2022). The results indicated that the dosage of AM inoculum had a more substantial effect on the seedlings than the application sequence. A 10 g dose significantly increased shoot length and dry weight, while three applications of 5 g each improved the number of fibrous roots.

Article Synopsis
  • The study aims to find biomarkers in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) that can predict adverse outcomes and help monitor disease progression over time.
  • Researchers used data from two groups of IPF patients and analyzed CT imaging biomarkers to assess disease severity and their relationship with lung function and survival.
  • The weighted reticulovascular score (WRVS) showed significant potential as a predictive tool, with a baseline score of ≥15% indicating a higher risk of mortality and an increase of 3% in WRVS correlating with reduced survival, surpassing traditional visual assessments of fibrosis.
