Canadians will learn more about their lung health and how to improve it thanks to a $3.5-million grant from the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (@CIHR_IRSC) for Dalhousie’s Dr. Sanja Stanojevic and a national team of researchers: https://t.co/4aZZSR0kGI

Introducing a new growth chart for the lungs! In this @TheLancet paper we discuss clinical implications of the trajectory concept, early lung function checks and present the tool. @EuroRespSoc Teamwork!🙏 @faner_rosa @CDharmage @SanjaLovesData https://t.co/fxfB24EntA

Very happy to see our latest GLI equations, GLI Global: A race neutral approach to spirometry interpretation, just published in AJRCCM: https://t.co/eAs2LatEnY @SanjaLovesData #GLI

[CHEST @accpchest]

Practical and ethical challenges in the continuation or elimination of the use of race in pulmonary function testing reference equations; possible solutions are presented. Read the full article in the October @journal_CHEST issue: https://t.co/2RERddgazO #CHESTHumanities

Vaping is perceived as being safer, less harmful than traditional cigarettes, and a good tool to quit smoking.

But, is it really? 🤔

[American Thoracic Society (ATS) @atscommunity]

In response to emerging evidence, @atscommunity is examining whether the interpretation of lung function should be race and ethnicity blind. Multiple activities are in progress, including a workshop. It is essential we get this right. https://t.co/apCBZHYhL4

[LungNSPEI @LungNsPei]

It was great visiting Dr. Sanja Stanojevic at the Health and Environments Research Centre (HERC) Laboratory at Dalhousie University last week. Dr. Stanojevic and her team are conducting research that is looking at how vaping is impacting the lungs in young adults.

@kat_t_ @SanjaLovesData Hopefully this is readable!

[Cole Bowerman @colebowerman1]

Important new work with #GLI collaboration highlighting the difficulties of selecting the appropriate reference equation for lung function interpretation - not as straight forward as once assumed! https://t.co/aUsVHlwBXZ

[Cole Bowerman @colebowerman1]

2 talks, 1 poster, lots of networking, and a california sunburn = a successful first #ATS2022! Thanks to my mentor @SanjaLovesData and all of my supportive colleagues for getting me here!

[Cole Bowerman @colebowerman1]

Breaking my twitter hiatus to boost this amazing work with @SanjaLovesData. Racial/ethnic differences in lung function are far more complex than what we believe and more work needed to address disparities! https://t.co/Px1KM0GFAp

[ERS publications @ERSpublications]

Gender is a social concept. Sex is a biological concept that plays a role in respiratory physiology according to hormones and anatomy. Medicine is less evidence-based for women, while transgender people represent new challenges for the clinicians. https://t.co/fUdzQPj9Ro

[ERS publications @ERSpublications]

The multiple breath washout test is a sensitive measure of early lung function impairment. It has been shown to be feasible in young children and several respiratory disease populations; nonetheless more work is required to establish its clinical utility. https://t.co/SgXQJVA7Jj
