A machine learning model combining CT radiomics with clinical data has shown accuracy comparable to experienced pulmonologists in diagnosing usual interstitial pneumonia and predicting survival outcomes.

A randomised trial finds that blowing a conch shell reduces daytime sleepiness, improves sleep quality, and lowers apnoea severity in people with obstructive sleep apnoea.

ERS/EULAR guidelines provide detailed recommendations for diagnosing, monitoring, and treating connective tissue disease-related interstitial lung disease, tailored to disease type and risk profile.

Study finds trained dogs detect lung cancer with 78% accuracy from breath samples versus 42% from saliva.

Hospital asthma exacerbations rise in later pregnancy, with reduced inhaled corticosteroid use a key modifiable risk factor, UK data show.

By 2050, nearly half of US adults aged 30–69 will have obstructive sleep apnoea, with cases rising to 76.6 million and the steepest growth seen in women.

Central tumour location linked to worse survival in lung cancer, suggesting need for closer post-operation monitoring.
