ATS Scholar

A peer-reviewed, online-only, open-access, education-themed journal focusing on medical education, clinical education, education research, quality improvement, and more

DIVERSITY, EQUITY, AND INCLUSION

The ATS encourages diversity, equity, and inclusion for its journal authors, editors, and reviewers. This is especially important for those groups that have been historically under-represented in these areas. Bringing in diverse perspectives across disciplines, training levels, and identities has the potential to broaden the applicability and reach of our mission and activities and is known to improve overall scientific rigor and quality.

Lung Cancer Screening and Incidental Findings: A Research Agenda. An Official American Thoracic Society Research Statement

A multidisciplinary panel, including advanced practitioners and experts in primary care, internal medicine, radiology, cardiology, epidemiology, and pulmonary medicine, provides a prioritized research agenda to further efforts focused on evaluating, managing, and increasing awareness of incidental findings in lung cancer screening.

The Complex Immune Cell Composition and Cellular Interaction in the Alveolar Compartment of Patients with Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome

This synthesis advances our understanding of ARDS immunology, emphasizing the crucial role of immune cells within the alveolar space. Associations between cellular composition and clinical outcomes highlight the significance of exploring distinct alveolar immune cell subsets. Such exploration holds promise for uncovering novel therapeutic targets in ARDS pathophysiology, presenting avenues for enhancing clinical management and treatment strategies for patients with ARDS.

Impact of Heat on Respiratory Hospitalizations among Older Adults in 120 Large U.S. Urban Areas

High temperature and humidity contribute to exacerbation of respiratory tract infections and chronic lung diseases among older adults. Geographic variation in heat-related hospitalization rates suggests that contextual factors largely account for disproportionate burdens, and area-level influences should be further investigated in multicity studies.
