Dynamics of respiratory symptoms and past respiratory diseases were studied in a cohort of children examined twice. Relative risk of having the same symptom/disease after three years was calculated, producing a ranking of the symptoms, believed to reflect their epidemiological significance. An independent ordering of the symptoms was obtained, based on the relative risk of lower airways illness in a group of children followed-up for two years. In the analysis of lung function dynamics, practical independence of PEFR measurements and respiratory symptoms was confirmed.

Background: Infections are a common complication among lung transplant recipients (LuTR), particularly in the first year post-transplant, with respiratory tract infections (RTI) being predominant. Syndromic molecular panels have been suggested to reduce morbidity and mortality by providing a diagnosis quickly. However, integrating these panels into clinical practice remains debated.

Individuals with AIDS and Kaposi sarcoma (AIDS-KS) with pulmonary involvement have high-risk of poor outcomes but diagnosis of pulmonary KS in low-resource settings is difficult. We aimed to discover plasma proteins that distinguish individuals with pulmonary KS from those without pulmonary involvement. SomaScan proteomics screen measured 7288 plasma proteins in 22 cases and 17 controls selected from 181 participants with HIV-1 and cutaneous KS who underwent bronchoscopy.

Background: Data on type 2 (T2)-low severe asthma (SA) frequency is scarce, resulting in an undefined unmet therapeutic need in this patient population. Our objective was to assess the frequency and characterize the profile and burden of T2-low SA in Greece.
Methods: PHOLLOW was a cross-sectional study of adult SA patients.

Background: Surgical management for bronchiectasis is uncommon. This study reviewed the experience of bronchiectasis surgery and subsequent outcomes at a tertiary paediatric centre over a 20 year period.
Methods: Retrospective audit of children aged < 18 years who underwent bronchiectasis surgery at Starship Children's Hospital between 2001 and 2021.

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.
