Clinical Efficacy of Smartphone App–Based Pulmonary Rehabilitation in Chronic Respiratory Diseases: Randomized Controlled and Feasibility Trials Open
Background Pulmonary rehabilitation improves exercise capacity, dyspnea symptoms, quality of life, and even survival in patients with chronic respiratory disease. Center-based pulmonary rehabilitation programs often face barriers, and alte…
Impact of DSS-induced chronic colitis on emphysema via IL-1ß pathways in mice 4690 Open
Description Studies have suggested a link between ulcerative colitis and pulmonary dysfunction. However, comprehensive studies exploring the relationship between colitis and COPD remain limited. Male C57BL/6J mice were used for production …
Treatment intensity-dependent association between the number of oral hypoglycemic agents and insulin use and lung cancer risk in patients with type 2 diabetes Open
A higher number of OHAs was associated with an increased risk of lung cancer in a treatment-intensity-dependent association, and insulin users exhibited the greatest risk in type 2 diabetes. Lung cancer risk was augmented if individuals we…
Smartphone App–Guided Pulmonary Rehabilitation in Chronic Respiratory Diseases: Randomized Controlled Trial Open
Background Pulmonary rehabilitation improves exercise capacity, dyspnea, quality of life, and survival in patients with chronic respiratory disease. However, center-based pulmonary rehabilitation programs remain unavailable in many health …
Surface‐Engineering of Pancreatic Islets with Chitosan Microparticles to Inhibit IBMIR in Islet Xenotransplantation Open
Intraportal islet transplantation is an effective beta‐cell replacement therapy for restoring insulin production in patients with type 1 diabetes. However, transplanted islets are rapidly lost due to a strong immediate inflammatory reactio…
Physical activity intensity and amount are inversely correlated with the risk of tuberculosis in patients with diabetes Open
One of the crucial risk factors for tuberculosis (TB) is diabetes mellitus (DM), and physical activity could afford protective effects for the former disease entity. We aimed to evaluate the association between physical activity (intensity…

The Korean Obstructive Sleep Apnea Morbidity Study (KOSMOS) Protocol Open
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a heterogeneous syndrome with various predisposing factors, pathophysiological mechanisms, clinical presentations, and consequences of respiratory events. Treatment compliance and outcomes vary among the cl…
Changes in mortality due to respiratory diseases around the COVID-19 pandemic: A multi-national comparative study Open
The COVID-19 pandemic affected the epidemiology of respiratory diseases. The findings suggest that various preventive measures in the COVID-19 pandemic might have contributed to changes in their epidemiology.
Association between body mass index and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease in young individuals: a nationwide population‑based cohort study Open
Body mass index (BMI) is associated with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) risk. We investigated the association between BMI and the risk of COPD among young individuals. Using the Korean National Health Information Database, we…
Association between alcohol consumption and risk of developing tuberculosis in patients with diabetes: a nationwide retrospective cohort study Open
Heavy alcohol consumption has been linked to an increased risk of developing TB in patients with T2DM. In contrast, mild-to-moderate alcohol consumption was associated with a reduced risk of TB, except in current smokers, where it led to a…
Analysis of Metabolic and Quality-of-Life Factors in Patients With Cancer for a New Approach to Classifying Walking Habits: Secondary Analysis of a Randomized Controlled Trial Open
Background As the number of people diagnosed with cancer continues to increase, self-management has become crucial for patients recovering from cancer surgery or undergoing chemotherapy. Technology has emerged as a key tool in supporting s…
Utility of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease assessment test in perioperative assessment of patients with mild to moderate chronic obstructive pulmonary disease Open
CAT scores are valuable for evaluating patients with mild to moderate COPD before lung resection surgery, reliably predicting PPCs.
Low household income increases risks for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease in young population: a nationwide retrospective cohort study in South Korea Open
Background Low socioeconomic status is a risk factor for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD); however, the association between low household income and COPD in young populations remains unclear. Methods We screened individuals age…
Association between exposure to specific PM <sub>2.5</sub> constituents and environment, lifestyle, and clinical parameters in patients with COPD Open
This study investigated the correlation between the individual chemical constituents of particulate matter 2.5 μm (PM2.5) and respiratory parameters as well as the living environment and daily behaviors in patients with chronic obstructive…
Fine particulate matter aggravates smoking induced lung injury via NLRP3/caspase-1 pathway in COPD Open
Background Exposure to noxious particles, including cigarette smoke and fine particulate matter (PM 2.5 ), is a risk factor for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and promotes inflammation and cell death in the lungs. We investig…
Isolated respiratory tract microorganisms and clinical characteristics in asthma exacerbation of obese patients: a multicenter study Open
Background Viral infection is a risk factor for asthma exacerbation (AE). However, bacterial infections related to AE in adults are poorly known. On the other hand, obese patients with asthma have their own clinical and biological characte…
Positive Airway Pressure Therapy Compliance in Patients With Comorbid Insomnia and Sleep Apnea Open
Objectives. This study aimed to compare positive airway pressure (PAP) therapy compliance between patients with comorbid insomnia and sleep apnea (COMISA) and those with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) alone. It also assessed the influence o…
Clinical Efficacy of Mobile App–Based, Self-Directed Pulmonary Rehabilitation for Patients With Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease: Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis Open
Background Pulmonary rehabilitation is well known to improve clinical symptoms (including dyspnea), quality of life, and exercise capacity in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). However, researchers have reported di…
