Moving Forward to New Trends in Pulmonary Diseases

This Reprint presents current research and reviews on major trends in respiratory medicine, with emphasis on diagnosis, clinical stratification, treatment, rehabilitation, and risk assessment in pulmonary diseases. The contributions address tuberculosis, COPD, asthma, COVID-19-related respiratory impairment, bronchiectasis, sleep apnea, and lung cancer. They also examine emerging priorities such as artificial intelligence in airway disease, biomarkers for prognosis, metabolic and inflammatory mechanisms in COPD, precision oncology, bronchoscopy for staging, indoor air pollution, and post-COVID-19 rehabilitation. By bringing together clinical, diagnostic, and translational perspectives, this Reprint supports multidisciplinary decision making and highlights practical directions for individualized care and improved outcomes in patients with acute and chronic respiratory disorders.
