The journal CHEST® features the best in peer-reviewed, cutting-edge original research in the multidisciplinary specialties of chest medicine—pulmonary, critical care, and sleep medicine—and related disciplines. With a loyal readership base, the journal is one of the most highly regarded, and up-to-date sources of clinical knowledge in the field.
CRITICAL CARE
This unique research looks at how the media portrays acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and how lay people have a limited understanding of ARDS. “Together, our work clearly demonstrates that news reports of patients with ARDS are associated with substantial publication bias that has the potential to distort expectations of outcomes among patients and families.”
PULMONARY VASCULAR
Using a text-based mobile health intervention may contribute to increasing physical activity in patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension, a group that commonly suffers from severe exercise limitation.
SLEEP
This study is a review of sleep in children overall and focuses on the in-patient setting, with a look at pharmacologic and nonpharmacologic interventions.
