The SIDRIA project (Italian Studies on Respiratory Disorders in Children and the Environment) is aimed at evaluating the prevalence of respiratory and allergic disorders, and their geographic and temporal variations, in the context of the ISAAC study (International study of asthma and allergies in Childhood). The SIDRIA study was specifically designed to evaluate the prevalence of a variety of environmental, social, behavioural and familiar risk factors, and to examine the association between these socio-environmental factors and asthma as well as other respiratory disorders in children. The first phase of SIDRIA was conducted in 1994-1995 in 10 areas of Northern and Central Italy. The 2nd phase took place in 2002, in 13 Italian areas, and included 20,016 children (6-7 years old) and 16,175 adolescents (13-14 years old), with a response rate of 89% and 93%, respectively.

Background: In USA, total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA) ranks amongst the top five surgeries that require hospitalization. As a result, the healthcare system in USA could face a considerable financial strain due to the emergence of subsequent pulmonary problems. This study aimed to conduct a thorough examination of the prevalence, influential factors and medical importance of pulmonary complications, with emphasis on pneumonia, respiratory failure and pulmonary embolism (PE) following total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA) procedures in USA.

Background: Despite the increasing body of evidence that mitochondrial activities implicate in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), we are still far from a causal-logical and mechanistic understanding of the mitochondrial malfunctions in COPD pathogenesis.
Results: Differential expression genes (DEGs) from six publicly available bulk human lung tissue transcriptomic datasets of COPD patients were intersected with the known mitochondria-related genes from MitoCarta3.0 to obtain mitochondria-related DEGs associated with COPD (MitoDEGs).

Tehran Lung Research and Developmental Center, Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Sciences, Tehran, Iran.
Background: This study aims to compare Lung Ultrasound (LUS) findings with High-Resolution Computerized Tomography (HRCT) and Pulmonary Function Tests (PFTs) to detect the severity of lung involvement in patients with Usual Interstitial Pneumonia (UIP) and Non-Specific Interstitial Pneumonia (NSIP).
Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted on 35 UIP and 30 NSIP patients at a referral hospital. All patients underwent LUS, HRCT, and PFT.

Background: The long-term sequelae of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and its recovery have becoming significant public health concerns. Therefore, this study aimed to enhance the limited evidence regarding the relationship between sleep quality on long COVID among the older population aged 60 years or old.
Methods: Our study included 4,781 COVID-19 patients enrolled from April to May 2023, based on the Peking University Health Cohort.
Machine-learning-based cost prediction models for inpatients with mental disorders in China.
BMC Psychiatry

Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences & Peking Union Medical College, Beijing, China.
Background: Mental disorders are increasingly prevalent, leading to increased medical expenditures. To refine the reimbursement of medical costs for inpatients with mental disorders by health insurance, an accurate prediction model is essential. Per-diem payment is a common internationally implemented payment method for medical insurance of inpatients with mental disorders, necessitating the exploration of advanced machine learning methods for predicting the average daily hospitalization costs (ADHC) based on the characteristics of inpatients with mental disorders.
