TL;DR: Compared to healthy volunteers, patients with primary lung cancer had abnormal breath test findings that were consistent with the accelerated catabolism of alkanes and monomethylated alkanes, and a predictive model employing nine VOCs exhibited sufficient sensitivity and specificity to be considered as a screen for lung cancer in a high-risk population such as adult smokers.

TL;DR: This preliminary report indicates changes in brain morphology in OSA, in the hippocampus, a key area for cognitive processing, is indicated.

TL;DR: Further research is required to quantify robustly the effects and mechanisms of sleep apnoea resolution by metabolic surgery, which may reveal novel non-surgical treatments or enhanced surgical strategies in the management of this multisystem sleep disorder.

TL;DR: Cricothyroid puncture was not associated with any complications and was not unpleasant for the patients, and single injection transcricoid local anaesthesia was compared with the "spray as you go" technique in patients having day case fibreoptic bronchoscopy.

TL;DR: Picture with words have been shown to enhance the understanding and translation of medical information, and a pictorial translation of the ESS produces scores comparable with the traditional ESS and may be a suitable alternative for those with normal or diminished literacy.
