Application of Impulse Oscillometry Combined with Fractional Exhaled Nitric Oxide in Monitoring Asthma Control Levels in Children by Hu J, Fan Y, Luo R, Li Q, Ai T, Wang L

“…The ratio of forced expiratory volume in one second to forced vital capacity (FEV1/FVC), forced expiratory flow at 50% (FEF50), forced expiratory flow at 75% (FEF75), and maximal mid-expiratory flow (MMEF) were lower in the uncontrolled group (P< 0.05). Receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) analysis demonstrated that Z5, R5, R5-R20, Fres, and FeNO were valuable in asthma diagnosis (P< 0.05), with higher sensitivity in monitoring small airway function compared to MMEF. …”

Perioperative Anti-Fibrotic Treatment Prevents Acute Exacerbation of Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis After Lung Cancer Surgery by Stefano Bongiolatti, Alberto Salvicchi, Elisabetta Rosi, Elena Bargagli, Giovanni Mugnaini, Alessandro Gonfiotti, Federico Lavorini, Paolo Spagnolo, Andrea Dell’Amore, Federico Rea, Luca Voltolini

“…Although the sample size was small and few events were studied, the incidence of acute exacerbation was significantly lower among patient on anti-fibrotic therapy (3.4% vs. 23.1%, <i>p</i> = 0.044); in addition, anti-fibrotic treatment was the strong factor preventing acute exacerbation at the multivariable analysis (OR 0.089, <i>p</i> = 0.038). Post-operative 30- and 90-day mortality rates were not significantly lower in the anti-fibrotic treatment group (0% and 0% vs. 7.7% and 11.5%, <i>p</i> = 0.21 and <i>p</i> = 0.099, respectively). …”
