Article Abstract
Respiratory disease has a major impact on children's health, and objective measures of lung function are critical for the care and study of pediatric lung disease. Understanding lung development provides a conceptual framework for pulmonary function test (PFT) findings in children. Although the conventional age at which spirometry can be performed in children is 6 y, many children under this age can successfully perform spirometry. Other pediatric PFTs include oscillometry, multiple breath washout, measurement of specific airway resistance, and the interrupter technique. PFTs can also be performed in infants, but it requires a high degree of expertise and specialized equipment.

Despite significant advancements in the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) using conventional therapeutic methods, drug resistance remains a major factor contributing to disease recurrence. In this study, we aimed to explore the potential benefits of combining PI3K inhibition with Cisplatin in the context of NSCLC-derived A549 cells. Human non-small cell lung cancer A549 cells were cultured and treated with BKM120, cisplatin, or their combination.

Anomalous origin of the left coronary artery from the pulmonary artery (ALCAPA) is a rare congenital anomaly. Its clinical course is typically severe in infancy, leading to left ventricular ischemia, cardiogenic shock, and high mortality without surgical intervention.We describe a rare case of a 3-year-old girl diagnosed with ALCAPA, showing extensive right-to-left collaterals, preserved left ventricular function, and minimal myocardial injury.

Accurate modeling of lung parenchymal biomechanics is critical for understanding respiratory function and improving diagnoses. Traditional hyperelastic models capture tissue deformation but miss essential physiological interactions. This study evaluates an experimentally informed poroelastic model (Birzle's formulation) against hyperelastic-only models within a finite element framework.

Accurate tumor mutation burden (TMB) quantification is critical for immunotherapy stratification, yet remains challenging due to variability across sequencing platforms, tumor heterogeneity, and variant calling pipelines. Here, we introduce TMBquant, an explainable AI-powered caller designed to optimize TMB estimation through dynamic feature selection, ensemble learning, and automated strategy adaptation. Built upon the H2O AutoML framework, TMBquant integrates variant features, minimizes classification errors, and enhances both accuracy and stability across diverse datasets.

Asthma is a chronic inflammatory respiratory disease influenced by genetic and environmental factors. Emerging evidence suggests that microplastics and nanoplastics (NPs) pose significant health risks. When inhaled, these tiny particles can accumulate in the lungs, triggering inflammation, oxidative stress, and other disruptions in pulmonary function.
