Mashup Score: 5AJRCCM CALL FOR PAPERS: SPECIAL ISSUE ON AIRWAY DISEASES - 2 day(s) ago
Airway diseases are a heterogeneous group of disorders that impact airflow. Recent advances in the field are providing important insights into the management of these patients. The May 2025 issue of the American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine (AJRCCM) will highlight airway diseases, with a focus on asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. This issue will feature a collection of articles that encompass basic and translational research, epidemiological science, clinical trials,

Mashup Score: 7Big Things Have Small Beginnings: Clinical Implications of Early Interstitial Lung Disease - 2 day(s) ago
Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) and other forms of fibrotic interstitial lung diseases (ILDs) often follow a relentlessly progressive course, with median survival frequently cited as 3β4 years from diagnosis (1). However, this number is misleading, as it depends on how advanced the disease is at the time that it is identified (2). With the increasing use of computed tomography (CT) imaging in the 21st century, earlier detection of ILD has become more common, revealing that pulmonary fibrosis can take

Mashup Score: 3Call for Papers: ATS IC Discussions on the Edge - 2 day(s) ago
The American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine (AJRCCM) is pleased to team up with the New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM) and the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) to present cutting-edge research in pulmonary medicine (including sleep-disordered breathing) and critical care medicine at the 2025 American Thoracic Society International Conference. Last yearβs sessions were a great success, offering the opportunity for authors to showcase their research to a wide,

Mashup Score: 0Ground-Glass Opacities on Computed Tomography of the Thorax to Predict Progression of Emphysema: Are We There Yet? - 4 day(s) ago
Pulmonologists and radiologists often come across ground-glass opacities (GGOs) when they read computed tomography (CT) scans of the thorax. What are GGOs, and what is the clinical significance of having GGOs? Would GGOs be related to inflammation, and can their presence and extent predict the progression of emphysema in smokers? GGO is defined as hazy, increased attenuation of the lung but with preservation of the bronchial and vascular margins on CT of the thorax (1). It is a nonspecific sign. Although
