Focused issue: 5^th Clinical Update Sleep: “A Virtual Briefing”

A free webinar entitled Clinical Update Sleep: “A Virtual Briefing” will be held on the 16^th October 2020. In the webinar, we will talk to you about the latest on sleep in times of COVID-19, presenting original data by the British Sleep Society (BSS) National Early Detection Screening. In addition, there will be talks about insomnia, as well as OSA and cardiovascular interactions. The face-to-face event of the Clinical Update Sleep is currently postponed to 19^th March 2021.

Please join the briefing for an update on highlights of the special issue of the Journal of Thoracic Disease related to the Clinical Update Sleep.

Role of Precision Imaging in Thoracic Disease

This series features contributions from renowned experts in the field and aims to highlight key developments in the imaging sciences and their respective impact across spectrum of thoracic disorders. The details and application of modern imaging techniques are presented in context of patient management with overall goal of improving readers understanding of the role advanced imaging plays in managing thoracic disorders. This series also explores future directions of imaging development and its associated impact on patient care.

Series on Socioeconomic Disparities in the Treatment of Thoracic Malignancies

This Series "Socioeconomic Disparities in the Treatment of Thoracic Malignancies" is edited by Drs. Kei Suzuki and Virginia Litle from Division of Thoracic Surgery, Department of Surgery, Boston University School of Medicine, Boston, Massachusetts, USA.

Improving Outcomes in Lung Cancer through Early Diagnosis and Smoking Cessation

This series is designed to discuss current topics in improving outcomes in lung cancer through early diagnosis and smoking cessation. This series reviews recent literature and also identifies future directions for research.

Ethnic Difference in Lung Cancer

This series is designed with an aim to discuss ethnic difference in lung cancer. By conducting data from Asian countries and the foreign countries, we try to access mainly the different treatment efficacies and the side effects, the differences of environment, and the differences of ethnicity in the means of cure. This series basically presents the recent literature on this theme for an in- depth analysis that can guide clinical practice by our readers and also identify future research directions.

Novel Diagnostic Techniques for Lung Cancer

It is our sincere hope that these state-of-the-art reviews on relevant and debated topics in lung nodule management will stimulate discussions, encourage research and inform clinical decisions to hopefully ultimately improve patient care. We believe that thoughtful and cautious implementation of these novel strategies will eventually contribute to clarify the nature of indeterminate lung lesions, or at least reduce uncertainty to a manageable level.

Modified SEIR and AI prediction of the epidemics trend of COVID-19 in China under public health interventions

Background: The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) outbreak originating in Wuhan, Hubei province, China, coincided with chunyun, the period of mass migration for the annual Spring Festival. To contain its spread, China adopted unprecedented nationwide interventions on January 23, 2020. These policies included large-scale quarantine, strict controls on travel and extensive monitoring of suspected cases. However, it is unknown whether these policies have had an impact on the epidemic. We sought to show how these control measures impacted the containment of the epidemic.

5th Clinical Update Sleep™: International Conference 2020
