Asthma is a prevalent chronic respiratory disease affecting all age groups globally, causing significant morbidity and mortality. Small airway involvement, often undetected by traditional spirometry, has emerged as a critical aspect of asthma pathophysiology, especially in severe cases. This retrospective observational study aimed to assess small airway dysfunction using impulse oscillometry (IOS) in 94 severe asthma patients.

Background: The Sarcoidosis Diagnostic Score (SDS) system has been established for sarcoidosis patients based on the WASOG organ involvement criteria. We evaluated modifications of the SDS system to determine if they improved its the diagnostic accuracy.
Methods: Biopsy-confirmed patients with sarcoidosis seen during a 7-month period at 9 sarcoidosis centers across the world.

Background: Spirofy™ is India's first portable, pneumotach flow-sensor-based digital spirometer developed to diagnose asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). In this study, we compared the performance of the Spirofy™ device with that of the Vitalograph Alpha Touch™ spirometer in measuring the lung capacities of healthy individuals, asthmatics, and COPD patients. We also assessed the inter-device variability between two Spirofy™ devices.

Introduction: Colistin is used to treat hospital-acquired pneumonia and ventilator-associated pneumonia. However, direct drug deposition at the site of infection may improve its efficacy and reduce systemic exposure. The aim of this study was to assess the safety and tolerability of nebulized colistin among Indian patients diagnosed with pneumonia caused by multidrug-resistant gram-negative bacilli in real-world settings.

Over the past decade, endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA) has become an indispensable tool in the diagnostic armamentarium of the pulmonologist. As the expertise with EBUS-TBNA has evolved and several innovations have occurred, the indications for its use have expanded. However, several aspects of EBUS-TBNA are still not standardized.

Background: The use of nebulizers is an important and useful method for delivering drugs to the lungs in patients with various airway and lung parenchymal disorders. They are primarily used in patients with acute symptoms and in a selected group of patients for maintenance treatment. Its use has increased, especially during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic.

Background And Objective: Severe asthma phenotyping based on invasive and non-invasive bio-markers assists in a better understanding of heterogeneity of clinical presentations and thereby using targeted therapies. Therefore, the current study was conducted to evaluate phenotypes based on non-invasive bio-markers of severe asthma patients attending a tertiary care hospital in North India.
Methods: This was a retrospective, observational study conducted on the patients who visited the respiratory department of a tertiary care hospital in North India.

Inhalational therapy, today, happens to be the mainstay of treatment in obstructive airway diseases (OADs), such as asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and is also in the present, used in a variety of other pulmonary and even non-pulmonary disorders. Hand-held inhalation devices may often be difficult to use, particularly for children, elderly, debilitated or distressed patients. Nebulization therapy emerges as a good option in these cases besides being useful in the home care, emergency room and critical care settings.

The Sarcoidosis Diagnostic Score (SDS) has been established to quantitate the clinical features consistent with sarcoidosis in a monocentric study. We aimed to confirm the diagnostic value of SDS in a large, multicontinental study and to assess the utility of SDS in differentiating sarcoidosis from alternative diagnoses, including infectious and noninfectious granulomatous diseases. We included patients with biopsy-confirmed sarcoidosis at nine centers across the world.

A rare clinical syndrome, giant bullous emphysema, also known by the name of vanishing lung syndrome (VLS), is characterized by an X-ray of the chest showing disappearance of the lung. VLS is a chronic disease that progresses gradually and is usually seen in young male smokers, with other risk factors being alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency and marijuana abuse. Giant emphysematous bullae are a pathognomonic presentation with a preference towards the upper lobe of the lungs.

We describe a case of broken tracheal cartilage which slipped into the tracheobronchial tree following percutaneous tracheostomy (PCT), impinging and causing collapse of medial basal segment of right lower lobe.

Herein, we describe the physician practices of prescribing pirfenidone and nintedanib for these patients and the physician-assessed response.
Materials And Methods: This was a multicenter, retrospective survey study of subjects administered pirfenidone or nintedanib for post-COVID-19 interstitial lung abnormalities.

Introduction: Favipiravir has shown promising results for COVID-19 globally. Though many Indian patients have received favipiravir, there is a lack of realworld data for its clinical use by the practicing physicians. Hence, a qualitative survey was conducted to understand real-world use of favipiravir in management of COVID-19.

Background: Interstitial lung disease (ILD) encompasses a diverse group of chronic lung conditions which is often characterized by inspiratory muscle weakness (IMW). Despite the potential importance of inspiratory muscle dysfunction in ILD, the effect of inspiratory muscle training (IMT) added to pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) in ILD largely remains unknown.
Objective: The primary objective of the present study was to evaluate the benefits of IMT added to PR on inspiratory muscle strength and secondary objectives were to assess its effects on functional capacity, health-related quality of life (HRQoL), pulmonary function test (PFT) and dyspnea in ILD along with IMW.

Background: Efficacy and safety of nintedanib in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) has been established by multiple clinical trials. This study aims to assess the efficacy and safety of nintedanib in real-world IPF patients in India.
Methods: Clinical records of IPF patients (prescribed with nintedanib) visiting tertiary pulmonary care center, between June 2016 and December 2019, were analyzed retrospectively.

We live in an era of evolving microbial infections and equally evolving drug resistance among microorganisms. In any healthcare facility, intensivists play the most pivotal role with critically ill patients under their direct care. Majority of the critically ill patients already harbor a microorganism at admission or acquire one in the form of healthcare-associated infections during their course of intensive care unit stay.

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is common among non-smokers exposed to solid fuel combustion at home. Different clinical characteristics in these patients may have significant therapeutic and prognostic implications. We used medical record review and a questionnaire among COPD patients at 15 centres across India to capture data on demographic details, different types of exposures and clinical characteristics.
