This study aimed to verify whether multidisciplinary interventions combining pulmonary rehabilitation and nutritional management affect BW loss and prognosis in ILD.Methods: We retrospectively examined changes in body composition including BW in ILD patients who were admitted to our hospital for the comprehensive pulmonary rehabilitation program. These parameters were measured 6 months before, at the beginning, and 6 months after the program. We investigated the program's impact on BW loss and its association with survival.Results: Of the 169 program participants, 40 ILD patients with tracked BW trends were enrolled. A significant BW loss was observed during 6 months before the program (p < 0.001); however, the intervention successfully halted further BW loss (p = 0.116). Patients on antifibrotic medications also showed similar BW trends. Notably, patients with pleuroparenchymal fibroelastosis showed a significant BW loss before the program (-1.8 kg, p < 0.001) but exhibited BW gain following the intervention (+1.0 kg, p = 0.475). Regarding the survival, BW loss halted group (effective group) had a significantly longer survival (log rank, p = 0.022). In multivariate analysis, BW loss >5% was identified as a prognostic indicator. This program successfully halted BW loss and increased survival.Conclusion: Multidisciplinary rehabilitation effectively managed BW, leading to better survival in ILD. In particular, there is currently no treatment for pleuroparenchymal fibroelastosis, and multidisciplinary rehabilitation offers a promising treatment option.","PeriodicalId":21048,"journal":{"name":"Respiration","volume":" ","pages":"339-349"},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2026-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145281089","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We hypothesized that ILD patients with exercise intolerance have a heterogenous hemodynamic profile when assessed by invasive cardiopulmonary exercise testing (iCPET).Methods: From January 2018 to December 2023, we prospectively performed iCPET for several conditions. The primary outcome of the study was to assess the hemodynamic phenotypes both at rest and during exercise of ILD patients with exercise intolerance, which cannot be fully explained by the severity of ILD.Results: Of the 43 ILD patients included in the study, 10 (23%) had no pulmonary hypertension (PH), 16 (37%) had no PH with pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR) >2 WU, 7 (16%) had precapillary PH, 7 (16%) had postcapillary or combined pre- and postcapillary PH, and 3 (7%) had unclassified PH. Four (9%) patients had exercise PH. Forced vital capacity, diffusion capacity for carbon monoxide, peak oxygen consumption, and resting partial pressure of oxygen (PaO2) were significantly lower across the no PH to precapillary PH spectrum.

However, existing ablation catheters are mostly incompatible with ultrathin bronchoscope (UTB), potentially limiting access to subpleural lesions. We report a case of successful bronchoscopic ablation using a novel 1.4-mm radiofrequency (RF) catheter delivered through a UTB.Case presentation: A 53-year-old woman with oligometastatic gastroesophageal adenocarcinoma underwent bronchoscopic ablation for a 12-mm apical right upper lobe metastasis. The UTB was navigated to the 8th airway generation under direct bronchoscopic vision, and the flexible RF catheter was smoothly inserted through the UTB's 1.7-mm working channel. Real-time cone-beam CT confirmed accurate catheter positioning, ensuring safe ablation without pleural puncture. A total of 26 kJ of energy was delivered over 513 s. The patient recovered without complications and was discharged 48 h post-procedure.Conclusion: The RF catheter's small diameter and high flexibility allow UTB to remain precise and maneuverable in the peripheral airway. As peripheral bronchoscopy evolves beyond diagnostics, integrating miniaturized therapeutic tools such as the 1.4-mm RF catheter will be crucial in expanding its clinical utility.

This survey of Italian physicians determined current practices regarding LTH-NIV initiation and follow-up in patients with chronic hypercapnic chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), areas for process improvements, and use of telemonitoring.Methods: A 35-question survey was developed then sent via email for completion using computer-assisted web interviewing methodology. Respondents were Italian hospital-based physicians identified using a healthcare professional database who had 3 years' experience in pulmonology, treated/followed up at least 50 patients on NIV, and consented to participate.Results: Sixty of 71 physicians approached completed the online survey. Of these, 41/60 (68%) said that LTH-NIV prescription followed hospitalisation for acute COPD exacerbation. The most important clinical aspects to monitor early after discharge and during long-term follow-up were reported as mask fit and patient quality of life. Physicians reported a high workload for management of patients on LTH-NIV but felt that many therapy management tasks could be performed by other providers, especially outpatient pulmonologists and homecare providers. Only 32% of respondents were currently using telemonitoring; reasons for non-use were lack of human resources (63%) or regulatory framework (37%), and cost/reimbursement issues (22%).Conclusion: These data highlight substantial differences between LTH-NIV clinical practice for chronic hypercapnic COPD in Italy and current guidelines, suggesting that guideline-mandated processes may not be achievable or sustainable in real-world settings.

Outcomes were analyzed according to the staff administering sedation, complexity of procedure, for propofol-containing regimes, and the ASA physical status classification of the patient.Results: This analysis (120 articles, 39,475 procedures) showed a mortality rate of 0.01% for sedation bronchoscopy.

Endobronchial valve (EBV) treatment is a bronchoscopic procedure which improves pulmonary function, quality of life, and exercise capacity in these patients. However, its potential beneficial effects on skeletal muscle function, fatigue, and sleep are unclear. Our aim was to investigate the effects of EBV treatment on these outcomes.Methods: We conducted a prospective cohort study assessing the second parasternal intercostal muscle thickening fraction, and quadriceps muscle thickness and rectus femoris cross-sectional area (RFCSA), both using ultrasound, limb muscle function using the 30-s sit-to-stand test, fatigue with the Checklist Individual Strength (CIS) fatigue subscale (score ≥36 indicating severe fatigue), and sleep quality with the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) at baseline and 6 months following EBV treatment.Results: A total of 20 patients were included. At the 6-month follow-up, significant improvements were observed in pulmonary function, quadriceps thickness, and RFCSA in the nondominant leg, as well as in limb muscle function. Intercostal thickening fraction did not change following treatment. Fatigue decreased significantly, reducing severe fatigue prevalence from 70% to 25%. Sleep quality was generally poor and remained unchanged.Conclusion: Our results show that quadriceps muscle size and function, as well as fatigue, significantly improve following EBV treatment in severe emphysema patients. However, BLVR seems to have no impact on intercostal thickening fraction and patient-reported sleep quality. This study highlights the beneficial extrapulmonary effects of EBV treatment in patients with severe emphysema, further supporting its clinical use.","PeriodicalId":21048,"journal":{"name":"Respiration","volume":" ","pages":"283-293"},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2026-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145086938","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
