Sarcoidosis Phenotypic Traits Linked to Novel Bronchoalveolar Lavage Cell Gene Expression
Researchers looked for specific BAL cell gene expression patterns indicative of distinct disease phenotypic traits.
Effects of Pirfenidone on Polypharmacy in Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis
Among patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, the use of pirfenidone does not delay new prescription of concomitant antitussive drugs.

A future definitive trial is not feasible to assess the acceptability of neuromuscular electrical stimulation of the quadriceps muscles in people with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis.
Progressive Fibrosing ILD: Algorithm for Epidemiology, Mortality, Disease Burden
A series of algorithms developed to highlight characteristics, epidemiology, and health care information related to progressive fibrosing interstitial lung disease suggests a high burden on patients and health care services.
Azithromycin Does Not Improve Cough in Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis
Patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis being treated with low dose azithromycin for cough did not see significant improvements compared with placebo.
