American thoracic society/European respiratory society international multidisciplinary consensus classification of the idiopathic interstitial pneumonias

TL;DR: The Diagnostic Process Is Dynamic Clinical Evaluation Radiological Evaluation Role of Surgical Lung Biopsy Unclassifiable Interstitial Pneumonia Bronchoalveolar Lavage Fluid Evaluation Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis.
Journal ArticleDOI

A randomized trial comparing lung-volume-reduction surgery with medical therapy for severe emphysema.

TL;DR: Overall, lung-volume-reduction surgery increases the chance of improved exercise capacity but does not confer a survival advantage over medical therapy, although it does yield a survival advantages for patients with both predominantly upper-lobe emphysema and low base-line exercise capacity.
Journal ArticleDOI

Effects of Smoking Intervention and the Use of an Inhaled Anticholinergic Bronchodilator on the Rate of Decline of FEV1: The Lung Health Study

TL;DR: An aggressive smoking intervention program significantly reduces the age-related decline in FEV 1 in middle-aged smokers with mild airways obstruction and use of an inhaled anticholinergic bronchodilator results in a relatively small improvement inFEV 1 that appears to be reversed after the drug is discontinued.
Journal ArticleDOI

Long-term effects of budesonide or nedocromil in children with asthma.

TL;DR: In children with mild-to-moderate asthma, neither budesonide nor nedocromil is better than placebo in terms of lung function, but inhaled budesonides improves airway responsiveness and provides better control of asthma than placebo or nedOCromil.
