Primary Ciliary Dyskinesia (PCD) is a rare genetic disorder requiring airway clearance techniques for mucus removal. We aimed to evaluate the feasibility and the effect of the active cycle of breathing technique (ACBT) versus oscillating positive expiratory pressure therapy (OPEP) in improving lung function and functional exercise capacity among children with PCD in Palestine. 32 PCD children (6-18 years) were included in a 12-week home-based feasibility study.

Introduction: Patients recovering from severe acute exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD) have a 30-day readmission rate of 20%. This study evaluated the feasibility of conducting a randomised controlled trial to evaluate clinical, patient-reported and physiological effects of home high-flow therapy (HFT) in addition to usual medical therapy, in eucapnic patients recovering from AECOPD to support the design of a phase 3 trial.

Methods: A mixed-methods feasibility randomised controlled trial (quantitative primacy, concurrently embedded qualitative evaluation) (ISRCTN15949009) recruiting consecutive non-obese patients hospitalised with AECOPD not requiring acute non-invasive ventilation.

Background And Objective: Postoperative pulmonary rehabilitation in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients following thoracic surgery can be an important strategy for restoring functional exercise capacity. This study aimed to evaluate the changes in the Glittre-ADL test (TGlittre) in patients with NSCLC undergoing thoracic surgery and early home-based pulmonary rehabilitation and, subsequently, to assess the associations of the test results with muscle strength and quality of life (QoL).

Methods: This observational study evaluated 18 patients with NSCLC before and after home-based pulmonary rehabilitation.

There is increasing interest in the use of home-based monitoring in people with chronic lung diseases to improve access to care, support patient self-management, and facilitate the collection of information for clinical care and research. However, integration of home-based monitoring into clinical and research settings requires careful consideration of test performance and other attributes. There is no published guidance from professional respiratory societies to advance the science of home-based monitoring for chronic lung disease.

Article Synopsis
  • Patients with systemic sclerosis are at high risk for interstitial lung disease (ILD), which can lead to increased mortality, making early detection critical for better management and outcomes.
  • The DecreaSSc study, conducted in the Netherlands, involved eligible patients using home spirometry to monitor lung function weekly for a year, comparing these results with hospital tests.
  • The study aimed to determine how well home spirometry could identify a significant decline in lung function (≥5% decrease in forced vital capacity) and involved patient feedback throughout its design and execution.
