Pulmonary function tests: an integrated approach to interpreting results in the search for treatable traits.

Expert Rev Respir Med

January 2025

Medical Sciences Post-Graduation Programme, School of Medical Sciences, State University of Rio de Janeiro (UERJ), Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

Introduction: Technological advances have led to the proliferation of lung function assessment techniques beyond spirometry in most countries. At the same time, new knowledge of respiratory physiology has allowed an expansion of lung function parameters, requiring an integrated approach to interpreting results.

Areas Covered: This review addresses the major pulmonary function tests (PFTs) used in clinical practice, new concepts regarding reference values, and reformulations of terminology for defining standards of lung function impairment.

Introduction: This study investigates associations between fine particulate air pollution (PM) exposure and thyroid hormone levels during pregnancy in Puerto Rican individuals, a vulnerable population facing socioeconomic and environmental disparities.

Methods: This research draws on data from the PROTECT cohort study and involves 1040 participants to measure the effect of PM on developmentally important thyroid hormones (TSH, T3, T4, and FT4). Pollution concentrations were linked to participant locations using EPA air quality data and analyzed across two visits during gestational weeks 16-20 and 24-28.

Background/objectives: This research investigates brain connectivity patterns in reaction to social and non-social stimuli within a virtual reality environment, emphasizing their impact on cognitive functions, specifically working memory.

Methods: Employing the LEiDA framework with EEG data from 47 participants, I examined dynamic brain network states elicited by social avatars compared to non-social stick cues during a VR memory task. Through the integration of LEiDA with deep learning and graph theory analyses, unique connectivity patterns associated with cue type were discerned, underscoring the substantial influence of social cues on cognitive processes.
