Airway pressures generated by high flow nasal cannula in patients with acute hypoxemic respiratory failure: a computational study.
Respir Res
January 2025
School of Engineering, University of Warwick, Coventry, CV4 7AL, UK.
Introduction And Objectives: High flow nasal cannula (HFNC) therapy is an increasingly popular mode of non-invasive respiratory support for the treatment of patients with acute hypoxemic respiratory failure (AHRF). Previous experimental studies in healthy subjects have established that HFNC generates flow-dependent positive airway pressures, but no data is available on the levels of mean airway pressure (mP) or positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) generated by HFNC therapy in AHRF patients. We aimed to estimate the airway pressures generated by HFNC at different flow rates in patients with AHRF, whose functional lung volume may be significantly reduced compared to healthy subjects due to alveolar consolidation and/or collapse.

Respir Med
January 2025
Allied Health Professorial Unit, Sydney Local Health District, Sydney, New South Wales, Australia; Faculty of Health Sciences, University of Sydney, Sydney, New South Wales, Australia.
Background: The Glittre-ADL test is a comprehensive test to evaluate functional capacity in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
Aim: The primary aim was to validate the Glittre-ADL test with and without the backpack performed in three laps as an alternative of five laps in people with COPD.
Methods: Forty-eight participants with mild to severe COPD (mean±SD age: 71±7 years; FEV: 46 ± 17 %predicted) were recruited and performed two six-minute walk tests (visit 1); two Glittre-ADL tests with backpack (visit 2), and the Glittre-ADL test with and without the backpack, in random order (visit 3).
Radiation-induced cardiac disease: Modern techniques to reduce cardiac toxicity.
Pract Radiat Oncol
January 2025
The Legacy Heritage Oncology Center & Dr Larry Norton Institute, Soroka University Medical Center, Ben Gurion University of the Negev, Faculty of Medicine, Be'er Sheva, Israel.
Purpose: Continuous advancements in cancer management have resulted in increased long-term survival rates amongst cancer survivors and in turn have exposed the full extent of radiotherapy-associated morbidities. Radiation-induced coronary heart disease (RICHD) is one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality in cancer survivors, particularly in those having undergone mediastinal radiation. While mediastinal radiation has been shown to substantially reduce both recurrence and mortality rates in multiple thoracic malignancies, the risk for the development of RICHD is of significant concern.

J Clin Neurol
January 2025
Department of Neurology, Gangnam Severance Hospital, Yonsei University College of Medicine, Seoul, Korea.
Background And Purpose: This study evaluated the diagnostic utility of an anti-signal-recognition particle 54 (anti-SRP54) antibody-based enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) as well as the clinical, serological, and pathological characteristics of patients with SRP immune-mediated necrotizing myopathy (IMNM).
Methods: We evaluated 87 patients with idiopathic inflammatory myopathy and 107 healthy participants between January 2002 and December 2023. The sensitivity and specificity of the ELISA for anti-SRP54 antibodies were assessed, and the clinical profiles of patients with anti-SRP54 antibodies were determined.
"You find yourself in a very humiliating situation": experiences of people living with post-tuberculosis lung disease in Brazil.
Front Public Health
January 2025
Department of Global Health and Social Medicine, Harvard Medical School, Boston, MA, United States.
Background: Brazil remains one of the 30 countries with the highest tuberculosis (TB) and TB-HIV coinfection burden. Post-TB lung disease (PTLD) is a set of sequelae that can occur in people who have been cured of TB.
Aim: To learn about the experiences of people living with PTLD (PLPTLD) and how healthcare workers (HCW) manage PTLD.
