100% detection and quantification of SARS-CoV-2 with PBM-HALE, in 1 minute of exhaled breath, requires forced expiration and gives Ct's as low as 25.8. We have updated our preprint with the interim data from our Brazil study 1/n 
We had tried to detect COVID-19 in exhaled tidal breath. That's resting breathing to you and me. It didn't work (n=42). We concluded that at least PBM-HALE does what it says on the tin; no environmental contamination, as we sampled in COVID-19 wards with no ventilation. 2/n
However, others were reporting virus in breath samples- most notably @Don_Milton & @drkristenkc - that rose with increasing vocalisation. There is logic to that, as we know this increases aerosol generation. So we went off to Brazil and partnered with Mauro M Texeira at UFMG 3/n
🚨🚨🚨New @EuroRespSoc @escardio #PulmonaryHypertension guidelines 2022
There is a lot of new guidance, this is just a short thread to begin with the most notable changes...

1⃣New definition:
📌Same mPAP threshold as Nice 2018 (mPAP> 20 mmHg)
📌Lower PVR threshold (PVR >2 WU)! 👈
📌No more DPG to differentiate Ipc & Cpc
📌Re-introduction of #ExercisePH in definition!👈

2⃣Diagnostic algorithm:
📌Fast track for referral to a #PH centre at any point of warning signs or #PAH or #CTEPH suspected
📌Individualised route for suspected #LungDisease but rapid cross-referral if necessary
📌If eventually PAH/CTEPH suspected, follow to tables 😵💫
