TL;DR: Patients in the IMV group had higher inflammation levels at intubation than the NIV group, which may indicate a higher resistance to glucocorticoids, which could indicate a better control of inflammation and a better outcome.

TL;DR: Pulmonary endarterectomy (PEA) reduces pulmonary vascular resistance, making it the treatment of choice and should be offered to operable CTEPH patients, as significant symptomatic and prognostic improvement has been observed.

TL;DR: A review investigating the correlation between GERD and IPF has confirmed the hypothesized association, but further large prospective studies are needed to corroborate and elucidate these findings with a focus on preventative and treatment strategies.

TL;DR: The main tool to screen PAH is transthoracic echocardiography (TTE), which has a sensitivity of 90%, even if definitive diagnosis should be confirmed by right heart catheterization (RHC).

TL;DR: Combining the administration of diluted, exogenous pulmonary surfactant via bronchoalveolar lavage along with the standard therapy for SARS-CoV-2-induced ARDS may be a promising way of improving the management of ARDS.
