    Abstract Wheezing is the most widely reported adventitious lung sound in the English language. It is recognized by health professionals as well as by lay people, although often with a different meaning. Wheezing is an indicator of airway obstruction and therefore of interest particularly for the assessment of young children and in other situations where objective documentation of lung function is not generally available. This review summarizes our current understanding of mechanisms producing wheeze, its subjective perception and description, its objective measurement, and visualization, and its relevance in clinical practice.

    Abstract The association between breathing sounds and respiratory health or disease has been exceptionally useful in the practice of medicine since the advent of the stethoscope. Remote patient monitoring technology and artificial intelligence offer the potential to develop practical means of assessing respiratory function or dysfunction through continuous assessment of breathing sounds when patients are at home, at work, or even asleep. Automated reports such as cough counts or the percentage of the breathing cycles containing wheezes can be delivered to a practitioner via secure electronic means or returned to the clinical office at the first opportunity. This has not previously been possible. The four respiratory sounds that most lend themselves to this technology are wheezes, to detect breakthrough asthma at night and even occupational asthma when a patient is at work; snoring as an indicator of OSA or adequacy of CPAP settings; cough in which long-term recording can objectively assess treatment adequacy; and crackles, which, although subtle and often overlooked, can contain important clinical information when appearing in a home recording. In recent years, a flurry of publications in the engineering literature described construction, usage, and testing outcomes of such devices. Little of this has appeared in the medical literature. The potential value of this technology for pulmonary medicine is compelling. We expect that these tiny, smart devices soon will allow us to address clinical questions that occur away from the clinic.

    Abstract The rapid advancements in genome-scale (omics) techniques has created significant opportunities to investigate complex disease mechanisms in tissues and cells. Nevertheless, interpreting -omics data can be challenging, and pathway enrichment analysis is a frequently used method to identify candidate molecular pathways that drive gene expression changes. With a growing number of -omics studies dedicated to atherosclerosis, there has been a significant increase in studies and hypotheses relying on enrichment analysis. This brief review discusses the benefits and limitations of pathway enrichment analysis within atherosclerosis research. We highlight the challenges of identifying complex biological processes, such as cell phenotypic switching, within -omics data. Additionally, we emphasize the need for more comprehensive and curated gene sets that reflect the biological complexity of atherosclerosis. Pathway enrichment analysis is a valuable tool for gaining insights into the molecular mechanisms of atherosclerosis. Nevertheless, it is crucial to remain aware of the intrinsic limitations of this approach. By addressing these weaknesses, enrichment analysis in atherosclerosis can lead to breakthroughs in identifying the mechanisms of disease progresses, the identification of key driver genes, and consequently, advance personalized patient care.

    Abstract Background: The significance of pulmonary crackles, by their timing during inspiration, was described by Nath and Capel in 1974, with early crackles associated with bronchial obstruction and late crackles with restrictive defects. Crackles are also described as 'fine' or 'coarse'. We aimed to evaluate the usefulness of crackle characteristics in the diagnosis of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
    Methods: In a population-based study, lung sounds were recorded at six auscultation sites and classified in participants aged 40 years or older. Inspiratory crackles were classified as 'early' or 'late and into the types' 'coarse' and 'fine' by two observers. A diagnosis of COPD was based on respiratory symptoms and forced expiratory volume in 1 s/forced inspiratory vital capacity below lower limit of normal, based on Global Lung Function Initiative 2012 reference. Associations between crackle characteristics and COPD were analysed by logistic regression. Kappa statistics was applied for evaluating interobserver agreement.
    Results: Of 3684 subjects included in the analysis, 52.9% were female, 50.1% were ≥65 years and 204 (5.5%) had COPD. Basal inspiratory crackles were heard in 306 participants by observer 1 and in 323 by observer 2. When heard bilaterally COPD could be predicted with ORs of 2.59 (95% CI 1.36 to 4.91) and 3.20 (95% CI 1.71 to 5.98), annotated by observer 1 and 2, respectively, adjusted for sex and age. If bilateral crackles were coarse the corresponding ORs were 2.65 (95% CI 1.28 to 5.49) and 3.67 (95% CI 1.58 to 8.52) and when heard early during inspiration the ORs were 6.88 (95% CI 2.59 to 18.29) and 7.63 (95%CI 3.73 to 15.62). The positive predictive value for COPD was 23% when early crackles were heard over one or both lungs. We observed higher kappa values when classifying timing than type.
    Conclusions: 'Early' inspiratory crackles predicted COPD more strongly than 'coarse' inspiratory crackles. Identification of early crackles at the lung bases should imply a strong attention to the possibility of COPD.

    Abstract Background: The Hutterite Brethren are a communal group of Anabaptists who live in the Western regions of North America, predominantly in the Western Canadian provinces. Due to a founder effect, Hutterites have a high rate of cystic fibrosis (CF) with genotypes limited to only two CFTR mutations. One-third of Hutterite patients with CF are pancreatic sufficient. Previously we found an unexplained younger age at death in Hutterites compared with nonHutterites homozygous for the common F508del mutation. The present study expanded the data collection and analysis for confirmation and further exploration.
    Methods: Anonymized information, based on Hutterite surnames, was extracted from the Canadian CF Registry. Summary data on nonHutterite patients with CF homozygous for F508del served as control. Statistical analyses explored the effects of genotype within Hutterites and compared nutritional status, lung function, and microbiologic findings between the groups.
    Results: The younger average age at death in Hutterites compared with controls was confirmed, but there was no suggestion of a generally shortened life expectancy. While the nutritional status in Hutterite children was better than that of controls, their lung function was slightly but significantly lower. Staphylococcus aureus was more frequent in Hutterites while there was no difference between the groups regarding Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
    Conclusions: Despite less pancreatic insufficiency, better nutrition, communal life in socioeconomic stability, and without exposure to environmental tobacco smoke, the clinical course of CF appears to be more severe in a significant number of Hutterites. Investigations of gene-environment interactions and of CF disease gene modifiers may help to explain this conundrum.

    Abstract Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a cluster of neurodevelopmental disorders characterized by deficits in communication and behavior. Increasing evidence suggests that the microbiota-gut-brain axis and the likely related immune imbalance may play a role in the development of this disorder. Gastrointestinal deficits and gut microbiota dysfunction have been linked to the development or severity of autistic behavior. Therefore, treatments that focus on specific diets may improve gastrointestinal function and aberrant behavior in individuals with ASD. In this study, we investigated whether a diet containing specific prebiotic fibers, namely, 3% galacto-oligosaccharide/fructo-oligosaccharide (GOS/FOS; 9:1), can mitigate the adverse effects of in utero exposure to valproic acid (VPA) in mice. Pregnant BALB/cByJ dams were injected with VPA (600 mg/kg, sc.) or phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) on gestational day 11 (G11). Male offspring were divided into four groups: (1) in utero PBS-exposed with a control diet, (2) in utero PBS-exposed with GOS/FOS diet, (3) in utero VPA-exposed with a control diet, and (4) in utero VPA-exposed with GOS/FOS diet. Dietary intervention started from birth and continued throughout the duration of the experiment. We showed that the prebiotic diet normalized VPA-induced alterations in male offspring, including restoration of key microbial taxa, intestinal permeability, peripheral immune homeostasis, reduction of neuroinflammation in the cerebellum, and impairments in social behavior and cognition in mice. Overall, our research provides valuable insights into the gut-brain axis involvement in ASD development. In addition, dietary interventions might correct the disbalance in gut microbiota and immune responses and, ultimately, might improve detrimental behavioral outcomes in ASD.
