ABO blood group-dependent association of serum retinol-binding protein 4 with eosinophilic inflammation and spirometric parameters in adults with asthma
Growing evidence links retinol binding protein-4 (RBP4) to inflammation; however, its association with inflammatory cell indices and spirometric parameters in asthma remains unclear, and the potential modifying role of ABO blood group ha...

A retrospective study of flexible bronchoscopic retrieval of airway foreign bodies in adults
Unlike in children, foreign body aspiration in adults is an uncommon occurrence. The clinical presentation is often nonspecific, with a myriad of symptoms and radiological abnormalities. These cases can mimic chronic lung conditions like...

Reinventing vitamin K antagonist therapy management: an implementation study of a home-based integrated monitoring model
Vitamin K antagonist (VKA) oral anticoagulant therapies are crucial for preventing thromboembolic complications in cardiovascular diseases; however, their narrow therapeutic range necessitates frequent monitoring of the International Nor...

Immediate versus gradual noninvasive ventilatory pressure-or-duration step-down in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease patients: a randomized trial
Despite the proven role of noninvasive ventilation (NIV) as an effective treatment for acute hypercapnic respiratory failure (AHRF) in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), no clear agreement has been reached regard...

Evaluation of psychosocial benefits of pulmonary rehabilitation in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease patients
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is associated with significant symptom burden, impaired quality of life, and psychosocial morbidity. Pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) is a recommended non-pharmacological intervention, but eviden...

Prognostic value of liver scoring systems in predicting early outcomes after pericardiectomy: a single-center retrospective study
Pericardiectomy for constrictive pericarditis remains a high-risk operation, and early outcomes are inadequately predicted by conventional cardiac risk models despite the high prevalence of chronic hepatic congestion in this population. ...

The determinants of incorrect inhaler use in patients with obstructive airway disease
Inhaler therapy is the standard treatment for obstructive airway disease. Even in today’s world, it is very challenging to utilize this therapy optimally. Errors in inhaler technique are very common. Identifying the errors is the first s...

Fractional exhaled nitric oxide in non-cystic fibrosis bronchiectasis: an exploratory prospective observational study
Fractional exhaled nitric oxide (FeNO) is a non-invasive biomarker of type 2 airway inflammation, but its role in non-cystic fibrosis bronchiectasis remains uncertain. This study explored the associations of FeNO with peripheral blood eo...

Variable expiratory airflow, and not airway obstruction, is the defining physiological feature of asthma
Asthma is usually diagnosed by history and presence of airway obstruction with a significant bronchodilator response on spirometry. However, airway obstruction may not always be present, or a bronchodilator response may not be significan...
