This year it was particularly disheartening to hear elderly #Holocaust Survivors who Experienced #October7massacre and who have family members killed or taken as hostages to Gaza. Israel's leaders have failed to keep the promise of #NeverAgain

Differential effects on health by different types of sports and physical activities

Now that a great advance in treating Type 2 #severeAsthma in recent decades, its time to advance the treatment of non-Type2 severe asthma as well.

A prospective study on 1st wave severe #COVID_19 survivors, showed improvement after 14 months in FVC, DLCO, 6MWD, grip strength, physical activity, despite increasing parenchymal reticulation on chest HRCT.

How does IPF stand compared to other forms of ILD?
Patients with IPAF have worse survival compared to those with CTD-ILD and a similar mortality to unclassifiable ILD #pulmonaryfibrosis #fibroticILD

No would have believed rhat in the early years of the 21st century a failing country such as Persia would launch such an offensive on a remote land....

No one would have believed, in the last years of the 19th century that human affairs were being watched from the timeless worlds of space. No one could have dreamed that we were being scrutinized, as someone with a microscope studies creatures that swarm & multiply in water drop

This is odd!
Humans are the only mammals who intentionally distort their musculoskeletal function.

Great variability in the performance of different commercial #CPET systems in measuring gas exchange and ventilation. Some machines show significant day-to-day variations in measurement.

13 years ago today, I started my #twitter experience

in a prospective cohort of #COPD patients, dynamic hyperinflation during #exercise was associated with earlier mortalty and shorter follow-up time interval before developing severe COPD exacerbation.

Interstitial lung abnormalities (ILAs) incidentally detected on HRCT in asymptomatic patients which are diagnosed as IPF in subsequent years cause similar FVC deterioration rates as in symptomatic IPF patients.
