Article Abstract
Background: Stroke is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, often associated with various risk factors including age, hypertension, and diabetes. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between pulmonary function and the presence of stroke, accounting for demographic and clinical factors.
Methods: A total of 6700 participants were enrolled from National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. Logistic regression analysis was conducted to calculated the odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) of pulmonary function variables, including forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV1), forced vital capacity (FVC), and peak expiratory flow rate (PEF), and the risk of stroke.
Results: Participants with stroke were older, had higher body mass index (BMI), and exhibited a higher prevalence of diabetes and hypertension. Additionally, stroke patients had significantly lower levels of FEV1, FVC, and PEF. Higher quartiles of FEV1 (OR 0.21, 95%CI 0.05 to 0.67; P = 0.014), FVC (OR 0.29, 95%CI 0.10 to 0.82; P = 0.023), and PEF (OR 0.22, 95%CI 0.08 to 0.57; P = 0.003) were independently associated with risk of stroke after adjustment for demographic and clinical variables.
Conclusion: Higher levels of FEV1, FVC, and PEF were consistently associated with a reduced risk of stroke. These results highlight the potential importance of monitoring pulmonary function as a marker for stroke risk assessment and warrant further investigation into the underlying mechanisms of this association.

Patient-centred interprofessional teleconsultation for post-viral symptom complexes in German primary care-protocol for the cluster-randomised controlled COVI-Care M-V trial.

Background: Post-viral syndromes, including long- and post-COVID, often lead to persistent symptoms such as fatigue and dyspnoea, affecting patients' daily lives and ability to work. The COVI-Care M-V trial examines whether interprofessional, patient-centred teleconsultations, initiated by general practitioners in cooperation with specialists, can help reduce symptom burden and improve care for patients.
Methods: To evaluate the effectiveness of the intervention under routine care conditions, a cluster-randomised controlled trial is being conducted.
Prolonged in vitro anti-bacterial, anti-inflammatory, and surfactant-promoting effects of volatile anesthetics.

Background: Volatile anesthetics are gaining recognition for their benefits in long-term sedation of mechanically ventilated patients with bacterial pneumonia and acute respiratory distress syndrome. In addition to their sedative role, they also exhibit anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory properties, though the mechanisms behind these effects remain only partially understood. In vitro studies examining the prolonged impact of volatile anesthetics on bacterial growth, inflammatory cytokine response, and surfactant proteins - key to maintaining lung homeostasis - are still lacking.

Background: Rare genetic variation provided by whole genome sequence datasets has been relatively less explored for its contributions to human traits. Meta-analysis of sequencing data offers advantages by integrating larger sample sizes from diverse cohorts, thereby increasing the likelihood of discovering novel insights into complex traits. Furthermore, emerging methods in genome-wide rare variant association testing further improve power and interpretability.

Background: This study aimed to evaluate the impact of asthma severity on biventricular cardiac functions using tissue Doppler imaging (TDI), two-dimensional speckle tracking echocardiography (2D-STE), and three-dimensional speckle tracking echocardiography (3D-STE).
Methods: Sixty-three children with asthma, aged between 5 and 16 years, were enrolled in the study along with 63 matched controls. All participants underwent cardiac assessments, including TDI, 2D-STE, 3D-STE, conventional echocardiography, and pulmonary function testing with spirometry.

Background: Surgical resection is the cornerstone for early-stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), with lobectomy historically standard. Evolving techniques have spurred debate comparing lobectomy and segmentectomy. This study analyzed early postoperative patient-reported symptoms and functional status in patients with early NSCLC undergoing either procedure.
