Elexacaftor–tezacaftor–ivacaftor is a small-molecule cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) modulator regimen shown to be efficacious in patients with at least one Phe508del allele, which indicates that this combination can modulate single allele. In whose other CFTR allele contains gating or residual function mutation already effectively treated previous modulators (ivacaftor tezacaftor–ivacaftor), the potential for additional benefit from restoring protein unclear.

Keeping airways clear of mucus by airway clearance techniques seems essential in bronchiectasis treatment, although no placebo-controlled trials or any studies lasting longer than 3 months have been conducted. We evaluate the efficacy ELTGOL (slow expiration with glottis opened lateral posture) technique over a 1-year period patients chronic expectoration randomised trial. Patients were to perform (n=22) placebo exercises twice-daily (ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT01578681 ). The primary outcome...

Some studies have reported a high prevalence of bronchiectasis in patients with uncontrolled asthma, but the factors associated this condition are unknown. The objective study was to determine moderate-to-severe asthma and identify risk their correlation these patients. This is prospective data from consecutive asthma. Diagnosis based on high-resolution computed tomography. A prognostic score developed using logistic regression model, which used bronchiectasis. total 398 (60% severe asthma)...

Airway complications (AC) remain a significant contributing factor of morbidity after lung transplantation (LT). The aim this study was to identify risk factors for AC, and review the outcomes endoscopic surgical treatment.From 1993 2006, 255 patients underwent LT. Seven retransplants 34 not surviving beyond 7 days were excluded. remaining were: 124 double LT (DLT), 85 single (SLT), 3 lobar 2 liver-DLT, comprising 343 bronchial anastomoses at risk. Donor lungs flushed with either modified...

In 2012, the European Society of Thoracic Surgeons (ESTS) created Lung Neuroendocrine Tumors Working Group (NETs-WG) with aim to develop scientific knowledge on clinical management such rare neoplasms. This paper outlines outcome and prognostic factors two aggressive NETs: atypical carcinoids (ACs) large-cell neuroendocrine carcinomas (LCNCs). Using ESTS NETs-WG database, we retrospectively collected data 261 patients in seven institutions Europe, between 1994 2011. We used a Cox regression...

Background: Pulmonary rehabilitation is recognized widely as one of the most effective measures to promote postoperative recovery lung transplant recipients (LTRs), and it has positive effects on both short- long-term quality life (QoL) survival outcomes. However, no standardized pulmonary training programs exist specifically for LTRs. The used in clinical practice focus mainly exercise or respiratory training, some extent neglecting other therapeutic methods that could patient health, such...

The main limitation to increased rates of lung transplantation (LT) continues be the availability suitable donors. At present, largest source allografts is still donation after neurologic determination death (brain-death donors, DBD). However, only 20% these donors provide acceptable for transplantation. One proposed strategies increase donor pool use circulatory-determination-of-death (DCD), which has potential significantly alleviate shortage transplantable lungs. According Maastricht...

Once the Tajogaite eruption was over in December 13, 2021, INVOLCAN continued monitoring visible volcanic emanations. To do so, active situ/remote techniques were undertaken based on different methodologies: direct sampling, alkaline traps, Multi-GAS and miniDOAS. These methods are suitable tools to provide as much information possible emitted gases. Direct gas sampling performed at two degassing sites, F1 F2, by collecting samples burying a glass funnel point using TEDLAR bags for later...
