    Abstract Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease has recently been gaining more attention, as beyond impacting roughly 10% of the world's population, it also carries high morbidity and mortality. The mainstay of management is optimizing pharmacological therapy, but various nonpharmacological therapies have shown benefits in providing symptom improvement and relief, prevention and mitigation of exacerbations, quality of life, and even mortality rate. Such modalities include supplemental oxygen therapy, pulmonary rehabilitation, viral and bacterial vaccinations, and noninvasive positive pressure ventilation therapy.

    Abstract Isolation requirements and subsequent need for personal protective equipment (PPE) are among the many challenges associated with the COVID-19 pandemic. Isolation of COVID-19-positive patients and the use of appropriate PPE by health care professionals are important parts of infection prevention, not only in the hospital setting but also in preventing community spread of the disease. This article addresses isolation requirements, appropriate PPE use, and strategies to overcome challenges such as PPE shortage.

    Abstract Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) remains one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality both in the United States and worldwide. Despite advances in medical treatment including smoking cessation, bronchodilator therapy, oxygen administration, and pulmonary rehabilitation, patients with advanced COPD still suffer significant debility. For select patients with severe COPD, there are additional surgical options including lung volume reduction surgery and ultimately lung transplantation.This article discusses the history, clinical indications, selection of candidates, choice of procedure, and outcomes of lung transplantation in patients with advanced COPD. In addition, certain aspects of potential short- and long-term complications of transplantation will also be discussed.

    Abstract Case presentation: A 57-year-old man with history of stage IIIB right-sided malignant pleural mesothelioma was admitted from his oncologist's office for progressive dyspnea of two weeks duration. He had associated dyspnea at rest and a new dry cough. He denied sputum production, hemoptysis, or fevers, but he did endorse chills, fatigue, and weight loss. The patient was a veteran of the Navy and had extensive international travel in his 20s. He had never been incarcerated and denied any sick contacts or recent travels. He had received a diagnosis of mesothelioma 11 months earlier after presenting to his physician's office with complaints of shortness of breath on exertion. Initial imaging revealed a large right-sided pleural effusion with irregular pleural thickening. He underwent right-sided thoracoscopy, and the pleural biopsy result was consistent with epithelioid mesothelioma. Because of invasion of his seventh rib, he was not a candidate for surgery and underwent palliative radiation and chemotherapy with cisplatin, pemetrexed, and bevacizumab. He was undergoing his eighth cycle of chemotherapy at the time of presentation.

    Abstract Systemic sclerosis-associated interstitial lung disease is challenging to diagnose and treat. Patients and physicians can perceive the disease differently and have different views on its management. Communication issues between them can lead to suboptimal disease management. Despite a clear need for improvement in the speed and accuracy of the diagnostic workup, the heterogeneity of clinical symptoms renders the process long and challenging. When considering treatment options, physicians may be more focused on the evidence supporting a particular treatment or on a patient's pulmonary function test results, as opposed to the realities of the patient's difficulties with symptoms or the psychosocial effects of systemic sclerosis-associated interstitial lung disease. Disease management plans should be determined by the patient's own preferences and goals as well as the objective clinical situation. Health care providers must consider their patients as partners on a journey in which treatment decisions are reached jointly. This review will focus on the perspectives of physicians and patients in relation to the diagnosis and management of systemic sclerosis-associated interstitial lung disease. Similarities and differences in these perspectives will be identified, and strategies for achieving optimal disease management will be proposed.

    Abstract Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) was first described in 1967 by Ashbaugh and colleagues. Acute respiratory distress syndrome is a clinical syndrome, not a disease, and has no ideal definition or gold standard diagnostic test. There are multiple causes and different pathways of pathogenesis as well as various histological findings. Given these variations, there are many clinical entities that can get confused with ARDS. These entities are discussed in this article as "Mimics of ARDS." It imperative to correctly identify ARDS and distinguish it from other diseases to implement correct management strategy.

    Abstract Adult respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a clinical entity characterized by hypoxemic respiratory failure in the setting of noncardiogenic pulmonary edema. It is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Prone positioning is a beneficial strategy in patients with severe ARDS because it improves alveolar recruitment, ventilation/perfusion (V/Q) ratio, and decreases lung strain. The outcome is improved oxygenation, decreased severity of lung injury, and, subsequently, mortality benefit. In this article, we discuss the physiology of prone positioning on chest mechanics and V/Q ratio, the placement and maintenance of patients in the prone position with use of a prone bed and the current literature regarding benefits of prone positioning in patients with ARDS.
