: Advances in management have improved mortality of individuals with chronic respiratory failure (CRF), leading to an increase in need for long-term oxygen therapy and/or ventilatory support. These individuals require frequent visits and monitoring of their physiological parameters as well as of the functioning of their devices, such as ventilators or oxygen concentrators. Telemedicine is a clinical application of Information Communication Technology connecting patients to specialised care consultants. This narrative review aims to explore the current available telemonitoring options for individuals with CRF and reported or potential results. : The research focused on EMBASE, CINALH, PubMed, and Scopus databases. Papers published between 2003 and 2021 in English were considered. : Different sensors, transmission devices and systems, and interventions are used with promising but not conclusive clinical results. However, legal problems are still unsolved, and economic advantages for health care systems, although potentially high, are still under debate. : Telemonitoring systems for individuals with CRF are increasingly used; with promising results still to be clarified, legal, economical and organisational issues must be defined.

Objectives: Percutaneous electrical nerve field stimulation (PENFS) is an effective treatment for disorders of gut-brain interaction (DGBI), proposed to influence vagal pathways. Cardiac metrics such as respiratory sinus arrythmia (RSA) and vagal efficiency (VE) can noninvasively assess parasympathetic output. Commonly used antidepressant drugs inhibit vagal signaling and may interfere with PENFS.

Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a progressive and chronic interstitial lung disease characterized by irreversible loss of lung function and a poor prognosis. Type I collagen, a major component of the extracellular matrix, plays a central role in the pathogenesis of fibrosis and is considered a key molecular target for therapeutic intervention. While current anti-fibrotic therapies demonstrate limited efficacy in slowing disease progression, their clinical impact remains suboptimal due to poor pharmacokinetic properties and non-curative therapy.

Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a severe pulmonary vascular disease characterized by poor clinical outcomes and limited therapeutic options. Celastrol (CEL), a natural product derived from Tripterygium wilfordii Hook F, has shown therapeutic potential in PH models, although its mechanisms are not fully understood. This study aims to investigate the role of CEL in PH and explore its potential underlying mechanisms.

A 73-year-old Japanese man with chronic kidney disease had no history of abnormal clotting or bleeding. Six days after receiving his third dose of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) vaccine (BNT162b2; Pfizer/BioNTech), blood tests showed a marked prolongation of the prothrombin time-international normalised ratio and activated partial thromboplastin time, as well as a decrease in factor V (FV) activity. Three months later, he required dialysis owing to worsening heart and renal failure.

Bioelectrical impedance analysis is a method widely used to assess body composition and parameters related to health and its disorders, which has prognostic value in gastroenterology, endocrinology, nephrology, cardiology, pulmonology, oncology, surgery and critical care. of this study was to analyze bioimpedance measurements in patients with chronic lung diseases [interstitial lung diseases (ILD), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)] in relation to clinical and biochemical parameters for assessing respiratory, cardiac and renal failure. .
