Unstable control of breathing can lead to ineffective noninvasive ventilation in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis
Upper airway obstructions in ALS patients using NIV have a central origin, and are associated with instability in the control of breathing and an upper motor neuron predominant dysfunction at the bulbar level
Bi-allelic missense ABCA3 mutations in a patient with childhood ILD who reached adulthood
Children with ABCA3 mutations may survive beyond infancy and reach adulthood. Genetic mechanisms should always be examined in adult patients with childhood onset ILD and molecular analysis should be performed accordingly in specialised referral centres.
Reducing the frequency of respiratory tract infections in severe neurological disorders by inhaled antibiotics: a retrospective data analysis
Inhaled antibiotic therapy offers a novel approach to the prevention of respiratory tract infections in patients with severe neurological impairment who have chronic microbial airway colonisation and recurrent respiratory tract infections
Systematic endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration improves radiotherapy planning in non-small cell lung cancer
Systematic EBUS-TBNA can identify areas of PET-occult malignancy, improving tumour coverage with radiation, and identify benign nodal regions that are PET positive, which may lead to reduced dose to critical structures such as heart, lung and spinal cord
Regional lung function in nonsmokers and asymptomatic current and former smokers
EIT assesses the spatial and temporal distribution of lung function in adults without pulmonary disease, and detects its increased heterogeneity in former and current smokers compared with nonsmokers. EIT reference values should originate from nonsmokers.
