AI Article Synopsis

  • Desquamative interstitial pneumonia (DIP) is a rare lung disease often linked to smoking or inhaling dust.
  • The relationship between DIP and IgG4-related lung disease is not well understood and is subject to debate.
  • This report introduces the first case of DIP occurring alongside IgG4-related lung disease, highlighting the need for further research into how these conditions may be connected.

Article Abstract

As an idiopathic interstitial pneumonia, desquamative interstitial pneumonia (DIP) is an uncommon form of interstitial lung disease and is considered to be a smoking- or dust inhalation-related interstitial pneumonia in the majority of cases. However, the details regarding immunoglobulin G4 (IgG4)-related lung disease remain unclear and controversial. We herein report the first case of DIP complicated with IgG4-related lung disease. Even if a patient has a smoking history, we emphasize the importance of exploring the association between DIP and IgG4-related lung disease to clarify the pathogenesis of these two disorders.

Objectives: The lack of definitive biomarkers presents a significant challenge for chemo-immunotherapy in extensive-stage small-cell lung cancer (ES-SCLC). We aimed to identify key genes associated with chemo-immunotherapy efficacy in ES-SCLC through comprehensive gene expression analysis using machine learning (ML).

Methods: A prospective multicenter cohort of patients with ES-SCLC who received first-line chemo-immunotherapy was analyzed.

Background: The mental health crisis among college students intensified amid the COVID-19 pandemic, suggesting an urgent need for innovative solutions to support them. Previous efforts to address mental health concerns have been constrained, often due to the underuse or shortage of services. Mobile health (mHealth) technology holds significant potential for providing resilience-building support and enhancing access to mental health care.

Background: Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) is a prevalent chronic lung disease affecting premature infants, leading to long-term respiratory complications, hospital readmissions, and significant financial burden on families and the health care system. BPD is caused by lung injury, making it crucial to focus on methods to minimize lung injury and prevent the transition from respiratory distress syndrome to BPD by following evidence-based respiratory support strategies.

Purpose: This scoping review examines methods for weaning preterm infants off continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) and evaluates their effectiveness in maintaining respiratory independence.

Background And Objective: It is unclear whether variation in covert cerebrovascular disease prevalence is attributable to ethnic differences or to other factors. We aimed to examine the associations of country of residence with covert vascular brain injury (VBI) and cognitive dysfunction among Chinese adults residing in Canada and China.

Methods: This was a multisite cross-sectional study of Chinese adults aged 40-80 years in the Canadian Alliance for Healthy Hearts and Healthy Minds (CAHHM; January 1, 2014, to December 31, 2018) and Prospective Urban Rural Epidemiological-Mind (PURE-MIND; November 1, 2010, to July 31, 2015) cohorts living in Canada and China.
