Diagnostic Performance and Safety Profile of Shape-sensing Robotic-assisted Bronchoscopy in Peripheral Pulmonary Lesions: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
Introduction: Shape-sensing robotic-assisted bronchoscopy (ssRAB) has emerged as a promising modality for diagnosing peripheral pulmonary lesions (PPLs). This meta-analysis evaluated its diagnostic performance and safety profile. Methods...

Exploring Maximality Criteria of Cardiopulmonary Exercise Testing in Healthy Subjects and Patients with Chronic Respiratory Disease: A Practical Clinical Framework
Background: Incremental cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) is used to assess exercise capacity and identify mechanisms of exercise limitation. Identification of test maximality is essential for correct interpretation, yet no consens...

Survival in patients with activity-related dyspnea. A retrospective cohort study.
Introduction: In an aging and multimorbid population, activity-related dyspnea is frequent. The aim was to study the prognostic relevance of patient-reported dyspnea, independent of the underlying diseases. Methods: This retrospective co...

Secondary pleuroparenchymal fibroelastosis shows worse pre-transplant lung function but comparable post-transplant outcomes to idiopathic pleuroparenchymal fibroelastosis
Introduction: Pleuroparenchymal fibroelastosis (PPFE) can be idiopathic (iPPFE) or secondary. Although lung transplantation has been established for advanced PPFE, the clinical characteristics and transplantation outcomes of secondary PP...

The Benign Biopsy Paradox: False Reassurance and Diagnostic Overreach in Peripheral Pulmonary Lesions
Background: Peripheral pulmonary lesions are increasingly detected through widespread computed tomography use, incidental imaging, and low-dose CT lung cancer screening programs. Diagnostic techniques have advanced substantially, includi...

Sustained but Attenuated Weight Gain following Pulmonary Rehabilitation in COPD: Evidence for a Gap in Post-Discharge Nutritional Care
Background: Malnutrition is common in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and is associated with adverse clinical outcomes. Pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) improves nutritional status in the short term, but evidence ...

Motion Capture of Bronchoscopist Kinematics Using a Spatial Computing Device: A Methodological Proof-of-Concept Study
Introduction: Bronchoscopy is physically demanding, and studies of ergonomics and objective skill assessment require accurate, segment-resolved capture of the bronchoscopist’s hand and head movements. However, existing motion capture app...
