The term silico-tuberculosis describes a condition in which an individual is affected by both silicosis and tuberculosis at the same time. This systematic review and meta-analysis study was conducted to evaluate the risk of tuberculosis in silicosis patients and individuals exposed to silica dust.Methods: We performed a systematic search for relevant studies up to 6 September 2022 using PubMed/ Medline, and Embase with the following keywords in titles or abstracts: \"silicosis\" OR \"silicoses\" OR \"pneumoconiosis\" OR \"pneumoconioses\" AND \"tuberculosis\". Cohort and case-control studies containing relevant and original information about tuberculosis infection in silicosis patients were included for further analysis. Pooled estimates and 95% confidence intervals (CI) for the relative risk of tuberculosis in individuals with silicosis compared to those without; these were evaluated using the random effects model due to the estimated heterogeneity of the true effect sizes.Results: Out of 5352 potentially relevant articles, 7 studies were eligible for systematic review, of which 4 cohort studies were included for meta-analysis. The total population of all studies was 5884, and 90.63% were male. The mean age of participants was 47.7 years. Our meta-analysis revealed a pooled risk ratio of 1.35 (95%CI 1.18-1.53, I 2: 94.30%) which means an increased risk of silicosis patients and silica-exposed individuals to tuberculosis infection.Conclusion: Silicosis and silica dust exposure increase the risk of tuberculosis. Therefore, we suggest that individuals with long-time silica exposure, like mine workers, be routinely considered for both silicosis and tuberculosis screening programs.","PeriodicalId":54237,"journal":{"name":"Pulmonology","volume":" ","pages":"2416791"},"PeriodicalIF":10.4,"publicationDate":"2025-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"9680387","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Since it is commonly thought that 95% of severe cases of AATD have PI*ZZ genotype, most studies about AATD have been focused on the Z variant. Nevertheless, over 500 single nucleotide variations in the SERPINA1 gene have been identified. We investigated the clinical presentation of subjects with severe AAT deficiency due to rare genotypes of the SERPINA1 gene. We enrolled patients from the Italian Registry for AATD (RIDA1) with the following inclusion criteria: diagnosis of severe AATD; age >18 years; full clinical data available at diagnosis; three years of follow-up respiratory function data. A total of 281 patients were enrolled from the RIDA1 Registry and subdivided into 3 cohorts: PI*ZZ genotype (n = 160), PI*SZ genotype (n = 54), and rare genotypes PI*R (n = 67). We did not observe any statistical differences among the cohorts regarding sex, smoking habits, occupational exposure and age at diagnosis. Patients with severe AATD due to rare genotypes have clinical characteristics and respiratory profiles similar to PI*ZZ subjects, and differed from the PI*SZ patient group. Early and accurate diagnosis of PI*R subjects is therefore important for their appropriate clinical management.","PeriodicalId":54237,"journal":{"name":"Pulmonology","volume":"31 1","pages":"2429911"},"PeriodicalIF":10.4,"publicationDate":"2025-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142774719","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, randomised controlled trials may not fully capture the diversity of real-world patients. This study aims to evaluate immunochemotherapy outcomes in a real-world setting, including subgroups underrepresented in the KEYNOTE-189 trial.Methods: Patients diagnosed with non-squamous mNSCLC 2011-2022 and recorded in Cancer Registry Database of the German Federal State Baden-Württemberg (BWCR), were analysed. OS was assessed using Kaplan-Meier and multivariable Cox models, adjusted for major clinical parameters. Results were compared with KEYNOTE-189.Results: Among 2630 eligible cases, 1314 patients received chemotherapy alone and 1316 received immunochemotherapy. Median OS (mOS) was 14.1 months (95%CI: 13.1-15.4) for immunochemotherapy and 10.4 months (95%CI: 9.7-11.2) for chemotherapy alone, with an HR of 0.7 (95%CI: 0.64-0.77). A significant benefit was seen in M1c stage (HR 0.7, 95%CI: 0.63-0.79). No significant OS improvement was observed in patients with ECOG 2-3 or bone metastases.Conclusion: This real-world evidence suggests that immunochemotherapy generally improves OS in mNSCLC. Subgroup analysis showed no survival benefit for patients with ECOG >1 or bone metastasis, but a benefit for patients with M1c stage.","PeriodicalId":54237,"journal":{"name":"Pulmonology","volume":"31 1","pages":"2457856"},"PeriodicalIF":10.4,"publicationDate":"2025-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143191275","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The outcomes were: forced expiratory volume in the first second (FEV1), forced vital capacity (FVC), forced expiratory flow at the mid expiratory phase (FEF25-75 %), FEV1/FVC and FEF25-75/FVC ratio. Smoking data were collected at perinatal follow-up (gestational exposure) and 15, 18 and 22 years. Group-based trajectory model was applied.Results: Four groups were identified: no exposure (NE), gestational (GE), gestational and adulthood (GAE) and continuous (CE) exposure. Both CE and GAE trajectories were associated with lower values of FEV1/FVC (-1.77pp; p = 0.01 and -1.58 pp; p<0.001 respectively) and FEF25-75/FVC ratio (-7.27pp; p = 0.019 and -6.04pp; p<0.001 respectively) compared to the NE trajectory. Lower FEV1 and FEF25-75 % values were also related to the GAE trajectory (-68 ml; p = 0.03 and -253 ml/s; p<0.001 respectively). Compared to those who never smoked, individuals who smoked 10 or more cigarettes daily presented a reduction in the FEV1/FVC ratio by 1.37pp (p<0.001), FEF25-75 % by 126 ml (p = 0.012) and FEF25-75 %/FVC ratio by 3.62pp (p = 0.011). CE trajectory showed higher odds of wheezing (OR 4.14; p<0.001) and cough (OR 2.39; p = 0.002) compared to the non-exposed group.Conclusions: The in-uterus exposure to maternal smoking reduces PF later in life. However, the perpetuation of smoking behaviour throughout adolescence and early adulthood is determinant for PF main reduction and the emergence of respiratory-related symptoms.","PeriodicalId":54237,"journal":{"name":"Pulmonology","volume":" ","pages":"2416818"},"PeriodicalIF":10.4,"publicationDate":"2025-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"71415277","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Methods: A systematic review using the following terms: \"obesity hypoventilation syndrome\" AND \"treatment\" AND \"randomized\" using Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, Medline and Web of Science was performed from the first data available until February 10, 2023. The inclusion criteria were: (1) original article; (2) adult OHS with concomitant OSA (apnea-hypopnea index or AHI ≥5 events/h); (3) randomized trial with PAP arm and standard care (control); (4) BMI evaluation at baseline and after the first months. We performed an individual participant data meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.Results: Our initial search retrieved 32 articles and 3 randomized studies fulfilled study criteria and were included in the final analysis, leading to a total of 342 participants. Patients were predominantly females (62%) and had OHS associated with at least mild OSA. As compared to baseline, a decrease in BMI was observed at study endpoint but this difference was not different intergroups (-0.50 ± 1.49 and -0.50 ±1.83, in control and PAP groups respectively (p=0.939)). Weight change was not associate with PAP adherence, OSA severity or use of supplemental oxygen.Conclusions: In contrast to treatment of eucapnic OSA with PAP that is associated with weight gain, treatment of OSA+OHS patients with or without PAP is associated with weight loss. Future studies are necessary to elucidate the mechanism by which weight loss occurs.","PeriodicalId":54237,"journal":{"name":"Pulmonology","volume":" ","pages":"2416816"},"PeriodicalIF":10.4,"publicationDate":"2025-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138300594","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
