Effectiveness of Active Video Games as a Training Tool in Patients With Interstitial Lung Disease: A Randomised Controlled Trial
Active video games (AVG) offer an alternative or complementary approach to traditional rehabilitation, yet their effects in patients with interstitial lung disease (ILD) remain underexplored. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of AVG in individuals with ILD.
Small Airways and Pulmonary Diffusing Capacity Decline in an 8-Year Longitudinal Population Study
There are few population-based longitudinal studies on the relationship of the single breath nitrogen (SBN) test (which functionally explores the small airways) with pulmonary diffusing capacity for carbon monoxide (DLCO). This study aimed to evaluate whether the slope of phase 3 (N-slope) from the SBN test may predict DLCO and DLCO/alveolar volume (KCO) decline, and whether the N-slope and DLCO are related to COPD incidence.

Validation and Further Analysis of the COPD Exacerbation Recognition Tool (CERT)
The COPD Exacerbation Recognition Tool (CERT) contains five symptoms that may change at the onset of an exacerbation. It was designed to help patients with COPD recognise the onset of an exacerbation and seek medical attention. This study tested its sensitivity and specificity and further examined its properties.

Can Patient Education Lead the Way? Head-To-Head Comparison of EXACT and CERT for Early Recognition of Acute COPD Exacerbations
Acute exacerbations of COPD (AECOPD) worsen outcomes, yet they are often underreported. The 14-item EXACT diary has been validated for trial use-the five-item CERT checklist is patient-centered. We compared the two tools' accuracy and early-warning performance for AECOPD.
A Novel Method Using Dual-Energy Computed Tomography for Detecting Amiodarone-Induced Lung Injury: A Cohort Pilot Study
Amiodarone is an antiarrhythmic agent containing iodine. Amiodarone-induced lung disease (AILD) is a serious adverse effect that is difficult to diagnose. We aimed to evaluate the added value of identifying iodine deposition using the dual-energy-computed-tomography (DECT) technique for its diagnosis.

Prevalence and Spirometric Transitions of PRISm and Obstruction: A Population-Based Study
This study aims to assess the prevalence and longitudinal transitions of spirometric patterns defined by the lower limit of normal (LLN) criteria: normal airflow (FEV/FVC≥LLN, FEV ≥ LLN); preserved ratio impaired spirometry (PRISm; FEV/FVC≥LLN, FEV < LLN); or obstruction (FEV/FVC
