Advancing preparedness for clinical research during infectious disease epidemics
Clinical research is vital for an effective response to infectious disease epidemics. To be viable, preparations must be made in anticipation of infectious disease epidemics and must address barriers to rapid deployment and implementation.
A telephone-based survey of current trends, habits and beliefs in patients receiving portable oxygen therapy in Madrid, Spain
A telephone survey was conducted in patients undergoing portable oxygen therapy. Data from a large sample of patients show us that they have a good training in ambulatory oxygen use.
Spirometric indices in primary ciliary dyskinesia: systematic review and meta-analysis
Spirometric indices of PCD patients vary between published studies, which suggests not only the possibility of methodological differences between centres but also real differences in disease expression based on genotype–phenotype associations
Prolidase deficiency diagnosed by whole exome sequencing in a child with pulmonary capillaritis
The case of a young boy with pulmonary haemorrhage who was ultimately diagnosed on whole exome sequencing with a rare condition called prolidase deficiency. This case demonstrates the utility of modern genomic testing in paediatric rare lung disease.
Evaluation of a re-useable bronchoscopy biosimulator with ventilated lungs
A re-useable bronchoscopy biosimulator with ventilated lungs hones skills in an environment that is realistic, is free of patient safety issues and time constraints, and provides a complementary training tool to commercially available simulation models
