    Title translation Follow-up of patients after COVID-19 pneumonia. Pulmonary sequelae.
    Abstract Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is an infection caused by SARS-CoV-2 that has caused an unprecedented pandemic with a high rate of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Although most cases are mild, there are a considerable number of patients who develop pneumonia or even acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). After having recovered from the initial disease, many patients continue with various symptoms (fatigue, dry cough, fever, dyspnea, anosmia, and chest pain, among others.), which has led to consider the possible existence of "post-COVID-19 syndrome". Although the definition and validity of this syndrome are not clear yet, several studies report that individuals who have recovered from COVID-19 may have persistent symptoms, radiological abnormalities, and compromised respiratory function. Current evidence suggests that there is a large number of pulmonary sequelae after COVID-19 pneumonia (interstitial thickening, ground glass opacities, crazy paving pattern, and bronchiectasis, among others.). Likewise, it seems that pulmonary function tests (spirometry, DLCO, 6MWT, and measurement of maximum respiratory pressures), in addition to high-resolution computed axial tomographies (CAT scan), are useful for the assessment of these post-COVID-19 pulmonary sequelae. This review aims to describe the possible pulmonary sequelae after COVID-19 pneumonia, as well as to suggest diagnostic procedures for their correct assessment and follow-up; thus, allowing proper management by a multidisciplinary medical team.

    Abstract Background and objectives: A worldwide objective in the area of health is to offer high-quality services supported by certification strategies that contribute to improving standards for processes commonly used in medicine. However, few pulmonary function test laboratories (PFTLs) follow official standards in their daily operations or are organized around an integrated total quality management system (ITQMS) focused on their established processes. The aim was to determine the feasibility of implementing an ITQMS to accredit the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 9001:2015 standard in a high-demand PFTL where 13 respiratory function tests are routinely performed together with teaching and research activities.
    Methods: This project was conducted at the PFTL of the Instituto Nacional de Enfermedades Respiratorias in Mexico City from November 2014 to August 2017 and involved the implementation of an ITQMS guided by ISO 9001:2015 in 5 phases: (1) the establishment of a work team; (2) the elaboration of situational diagnoses; (3) the development of guidelines for the ITQMS; (4) the implementation of the ITQMS model; and (5) the evaluation of the ITQMS.
    Results: Upon completing the 5 phases, an evaluation of the system by an internal audit identified 3 minor cases of nonconformity (NC), while additional observations and an external audit found 5 minor cases of NC. These issues were addressed through a root-cause analysis to establish an action plan for each one. At the end of the process, the institution was granted the ISO 9001:2015 certification for its 3 processes: medical attention in support of diagnoses, teaching, and research.
    Conclusions: It is possible to implement an ISO quality management system as a routine operating methodology in a high-demand PFTL.

    Abstract This commentary aims to highlight some of the major issues (with possible solutions) that the Latin American region is currently dealing with in managing post-COVID-19 pulmonary fibrosis. Overall, there is little evidence for successful long-term COVID-19 follow-up treatment. The lack of knowledge regarding proper treatment is exacerbated in Latin America by a general lack of resources devoted to healthcare, and a lack of availability and access to multidisciplinary teams. The discussion suggests that better infrastructure (primarily multicenter cohorts of COVID-19 survivors) and well-designed studies are required to develop scientific knowledge to improve treatment for the increasing prevalence of pulmonary fibrosis in Latin America.

    Abstract Background: Small airways disease (SAD), a novel finding described in post-acute COVID-19 patients, should be suspected when respiratory symptoms continue, air trapping persists on expiratory CT scans, and imaging findings fail to improve despite objectively better conventional pulmonary function test (PFT) parameters. The forced oscillation technique (FOT) and Multiple breathing washout (MBW) are both very sensitive methods for detecting anomalies in the peripheral airways.
    Case presentation: We discuss the case of a 60-year-old Hispanic patient who had severe COVID-19 pneumonia and developed dyspnea, fatigue, and limited daily activity a year later. The PFTs revealed restrictive lung disease, as seen by significant diffusing capacity of the lungs for carbon monoxide (DLCO) decrease, severe desaturation, and poor 6-min walk test (6MWT) performance. The patient was treated with lowering corticosteroids as well as pulmonary rehabilitation (PR). During the 24-month follow-up, the dyspnea and fatigue persisted. On PFTs, 6MWT performance and restricted pattern improved slightly, but MBW discovered significant ventilatory inhomogeneity. FOT revealed substantial peripheral airway obstructive abnormalities. On CT scans, air trapping and ground-glass opacities (GGO) improved somewhat. The patient used a bronchodilator twice a day and low-dose inhaled corticosteroids (160 µg of budesonide and 4.5 µg of formoterol fumarate dihydrate) for nine months. PR sessions were resuming. The restricting parameters were stabilized and the DLCO had normalized after 36 months, with a 6MWT performance of 87% but significant desaturation. The CT scan revealed traction bronchiectasis, low GGO, and persistent air trapping. Without normalization, FOT and MBW scores improved, indicating small airway disease.
    Conclusions: The necessity of integrating these tests when detecting SAD is emphasized in our paper. This article lays the foundation for future research into the best ways to manage and monitor SAD in post-acute COVID-19 patients.

    Abstract Background: After hospital discharge, post-COVID-19 syndrome has been observed to be associated with impaired diffusing capacity, respiratory muscle strength, and lung imaging abnormalities, in addition to loss of muscle mass/strength, sarcopenia, and obesity impact exercise tolerance, pulmonary functions, and overall prognosis. However, the relationship between lung function and the coexistence of obesity with low muscle strength and sarcopenia in post-COVID-19 patients remains poorly investigated. Therefore, our aim was to evaluate the association between lung function and the coexistence of obesity with dynapenia and sarcopenia in post-COVID-19 syndrome patients.
    Methods: This cross-sectional study included subjects who were hospitalized due to moderate to severe COVID-19, as confirmed by PCR testing. Subjects who could not be contacted, declined to participate, or died before the follow-up visit were excluded.
    Results: A total of 711 subjects were evaluated; the mean age was 53.64 ± 13.57 years, 12.4% had normal weight, 12.6% were dynapenic without obesity, 8.3% had sarcopenia, 41.6% had obesity, 21.2% had dynapenic obesity, and 3.8% had sarcopenic obesity. In terms of pulmonary function, the dynapenic subjects showed decreases of -3.45% in FEV
    Conclusions: In post-COVID-19 syndrome, dynapenia and sarcopenia-both with and without obesity-have been associated with lower lung function.

    Abstract Pulmonary mechanics has been traditionally viewed as determined by lung size and physical factors such as frictional forces and tissue viscoelastic properties, but few information exists regarding potential influences of cytokines and hormones on lung function. Concentrations of 28 cytokines and hormones were measured in saliva from clinically healthy scholar children, purposely selected to include a wide range of body mass index (BMI). Lung function was assessed by impulse oscillometry, spirometry, and diffusing capacity for carbon monoxide, and expressed as z-score or percent predicted. Ninety-six scholar children (55.2% female) were enrolled. Bivariate analysis showed that almost all lung function variables correlated with one or more cytokine or hormone, mainly in boys, but only some of them remained statistically significant in the multiple regression analyses. Thus, after adjusting by height, age, and BMI, salivary concentrations of granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) in boys were associated with zR5-R20 and reactance parameters (zX20, zFres, and zAX), while glucagon inversely correlated with resistances (zR5 and zR20). Thus, in physiological conditions, part of the mechanics of breathing might be influenced by some cytokines and hormones, including glucagon and GM-CSF. This endogenous influence is a novel concept that warrants in-depth characterization.
