The e-cigarette is rapidly gaining ground on tobacco cigarettes and is a hot topic worldwide, but its safety has not been scientifically proved. This is the first study that investigates the acute effects of e-cigarettes on both lung function and airway inflammation in asthmatic patients. |

Radiological PPFE was identified in 6.3% of patients with IPF. Radiological PPFE was associated with low BMI and lung function at baseline, more frequent pneumothorax and pneumomediastinum, higher decline rates in lung function and poorer prognosis during follow-up in patients with IPF. |

The Peer Connect Service initiated by Lung Foundation Australia provides a model of support for people with a rare disease such as pulmonary fibrosis (PF) who are widely dispersed geographically. The service provides a unique opportunity for people with PF to connect and share experiences and offer mutual support. |

BNP measured in the supernatant of malignant mesothelioma cell lines was significantly higher compared to the benign cells, denoting that BNP is secreted from these cells. Furthermore, the pleural fluid to blood BNP ratio was higher in patients with malignant mesothelioma compared to patients without malignant mesothelioma. |

PAPVD was frequently missed in patients presenting with suspected PH. L-R shunt was higher in patients with associated ASD. Although patients may have other potential causes of PH, some patients with PAH have isolated PAPVD without other causative conditions. |

Automated expiratory positive airway pressure (EPAP) and volume-targeted non-invasive ventilation achieve similar control of sleep-disordered breathing as pressure support ventilation in patients with obesity hypoventilation syndrome. Objective sleep quality at 2 months of ventilation therapy is not altered by the use of automated EPAP and volume-targeted ventilation compared to pressure support ventilation. |
