This effect allows Raman spectroscopy to be very useful in various fields. Although it is well known that Raman spectroscopy could be very beneficial in medicine as a diagnostic tool, there are not many applications of Raman spectroscopy in pulmonary medicine. Mostly tumor tissue, sputum and saliva have been used as material for analysis in respiratory medicine. Raman spectroscopy has shown promising results in malignancy recognition and even tumor staging. Saliva is a biological fluid that could be used as a reliable biomarker of the physiological state of the human body, and is easily acquired. Saliva analysis using Raman spectroscopy has the potential to be a relatively inexpensive and quick tool that could be used for diagnostic, screening and phenotyping purposes. Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a growing cause of disability and death, and its phenotyping using saliva analysis via Raman spectroscopy has a great potential to be a dependable tool to, among other things, help reduce hospitalizations and disease burden. Although existing methods are effective and generally available, Raman spectroscopy has the benefit of being quick and noninvasive, potentially reducing healthcare costs and workload.</p>","PeriodicalId":7391,"journal":{"name":"Advances in respiratory medicine","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2024-10-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11505626/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142492815","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is well established that innate lymphoid cells are involved in the development of eosinophilic inflammation. Interleukin(IL)-25, thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP) and IL-33 are a group of cytokines produced by epithelium in response to danger signals, e.g., cigarette smoke, and potent activators of ILC2s. In the present study, we examined circulating and sputum ILC2 numbers and expression of intracellular IL-5 as well as receptors for TSLP, IL-33 and IL-25 by ILC2s in non-atopic COPD patients with and without (neCOPD) airway eosinophilic inflammation and healthy smokers. In addition, we examined the association between ILC2s and clinical indicators of COPD burden (i.e., symptom intensity and risk of exacerbations). ILC2s were enumerated in peripheral blood and induced sputum by means of flow cytometry. We noted significantly greater numbers of airway IL-5<sup>+</sup>ILC2s and TSLPR<sup>+</sup>ILC2s in eCOPD compared with neCOPD (<i>p</i> < 0.05 and <i>p</i> < 0.01, respectively) and HSs (<i>p</i> < 0.001 for both). In addition, we showed that IL-5<sup>+</sup>ILC2s, IL-17RB<sup>+</sup>ILC2s and ST2<sup>+</sup>ILC2s are significantly increased in the sputum of eCOPD patients compared with HSs. In all COPD patients, sputum ILC2s positively correlated with sputum eosinophil percentage (r = 0.48, <i>p</i> = 0.002). We did not find any significant correlations between sputum ILC2s and dyspnea intensity as measured by the modified Medical Research Council scale (mMRC) and symptom intensity measured by the COPD Assessment Test (CAT).

It is characterized by repeated episodes of apnea (stopped breathing) and hypopnea (reduced breathing), which result in intermittent hypoxia. We recognize pediatric and adult OSA, and this paper focuses on pediatric OSA. While adults often suffer from daytime sleepiness, children are more likely to develop behavioral abnormalities. Early diagnosis and treatment are important to prevent negative effects on children's development. Without the treatment, children may be at increased risk of developing high blood pressure or other heart problems. The gold standard for OSA diagnosis is the polysomnography (sleep study) PSG performed at a sleep center. Not only is it an expensive procedure, but it can also be very stressful, especially for children. Patients have to stay at the sleep center during the night. Therefore, screening tools are very important. Multiple studies have shown that OSA screening tools can be based on facial anatomical landmarks. Anatomical landmarks are landmarks located at specific anatomical locations. For the purpose of the screening tool, a specific list of anatomical locations needs to be identified. We are presenting a survey study of the automatic identification of these landmarks on 3D scans of the patient's head.
