RESUMO
The PIOPED II study provided a robust estimate of the diagnostic accuracy of multidetector CTPA in suspected pulmonary embolism and played a pivotal role in establishing CTPA as the current diagnostic gold standard https://bit.ly/3HEyVxy.
RESUMO
Fibrotic pulmonary sarcoidosis (fPS) affects about 20% of patients. fPS carries a significant morbidity and mortality. However, its prognosis is highly variable, depending mainly on fibrosis extent, functional impairment severity, and the development of pulmonary hypertension. Moreover, fPS outcomes are also influenced by several other complications, including acute exacerbations, and infections. fPS natural history is unknown, in particular regarding the risk of progressive self-sustaining fibrosis. The management of fPS is challenging, including anti-inflammatory treatment if granulomatous activity persists, rehabilitation, and in highly selected patients antifibrotic treatment and lung transplantation.

It is a challenge to keep abreast of all the clinical and scientific advances in the field of respiratory medicine. This article contains an overview of laboratory-based science, clinical trials and qualitative research that were presented during the 2023 European Respiratory Society International Congress within the sessions from the five groups of Assembly 1 (Respiratory Clinical Care and Physiology). Selected presentations are summarised from a wide range of topics: clinical problems, rehabilitation and chronic care, general practice and primary care, electronic/mobile health (e-health/m-health), clinical respiratory physiology, exercise and functional imaging.
RESUMO
Routine clinical application of thoracic ultrasound has greatly enhanced the process of diagnosing and treating patients with pneumothorax and infectious effusion by minimising radiation exposure and facilitating prompt diagnosis https://bit.ly/3FO6jBg.
