Introduction: Asthma is a chronic lung disease that negatively affects children's quality of life (QoL). Improving QoL is a key outcome in managing children with asthma.
Objectives: The objective of the study was to evaluate the effectiveness of a comprehensive interventional package on QoL among asthmatic children attending an asthma clinic at a selected hospital.

Background: Traditional freehand puncture relies on non-real-time computed tomography (CT) images, which significantly affects the accuracy of puncturing targets in the lower lung lobes with respiratory motion. This study aims to assess the safety and feasibility of a teleoperated robotic system and low-dose CT for the accurate real-time puncture of targets in the lungs of live pigs during breathing under fluoroscopic guidance.
Methods: Two puncture methods were analyzed: freehand and robot-assisted.

Background And Aims: Abdominal bloating is a difficult symptom to treat. Hypnotherapy and diaphragmatic intervention have separately shown benefit on bloating in prior work but have not been united into a single intervention. We aimed to obtain data on the potential therapeutic impact of a novel audio-recorded bloating treatment for bloating integrating hypnosis and diaphragmatic breathing, with proposed synergistic effect.

Background: Due to age-related changes the lung function decreases. At the same time there is an increase in pulmonary diseases that lead to restrictions in mobility and autonomy.
Research Question: What are the underlying changes in lung ageing? To what extent do they affect lung function and are there factors that can be influenced?
Method: Literature search.
