Exacerbations Lead to Worsening Lung Function
Dr. Mario Castro discusses how COPD exacerbations can predict future exacerbations and lead to progressive lung function loss in COPD patients.
Why Is It Important to Assess Lung Function in Pediatric Asthma?
Learn about FEV1pp and the downstream effects of lung function decline in children with severe asthma.
Lung Function Decline: Why it Matters and What’s at Stake for Patients
Understand the drivers of lung function decline in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), including chronic inflammation, key risk factors, and the impact on patient well-being .
Monitoring Lung Function Is an Important Aspect of Pediatric Asthma Management
Navigate through this interactive infographic to learn more about why lung function is important to monitor in pediatric patients with asthma and the noninvasive procedures that are available for implementation in clinical practice.
Uncovering the Impact of Moderate COPD Exacerbations
The infographic provides information about the clinical characteristics used to classify moderate COPD exacerbations and the impact of these events on lung function, future risk, and mortality.
What Is The COPD Vicious Cycle?
Dr. Nicola Hanania explains the vicious cycle of exacerbations and lung function decline observed in COPD.
Clinical Manifestations Associated With Airway Remodeling in Asthma
Join Dr. Hanania to understand how to identify patients at risk of fixed airway obstruction in clinical settings.
Mucus Plugging as a Potential Target in Asthma Management
Join Dr. Celeste Porsbjerg as she explores the mechanisms underlying mucus plugging development as mucociliary clearance. She explains how type 2 cytokines—particularly IL-13—impair this clearance mechanism, leading to mucus plugging, and worsened asthma outcomes.
Impact of Exacerbations in COPD
Dr. Stephanie Christenson discusses the association between COPD exacerbations and the increased risks of morbidity and mortality
FeNO Is a Noninvasive Biomarker That Can Support Diagnosis and Management for Asthma Patients
Learn how FeNO, a noninvasive biomarker for type 2 inflammation, can be used to optimize care for asthma patients.
Eosinophils: A Biomarker in COPD
Learn how to identify chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients with type 2 inflammation using blood eosinophil (EOS) levels, understand the associated risks, and recognize factors that may influence EOS counts.
Unraveling the Link of Type 2 Inflammation and Airway Remodeling in Asthma
Join Dr. Celeste Porsbjerg as she discussed on how type 2 inflammation may lead to airway remodeling in asthma, exploring the pathophysiologic mechanisms, that ultimately lead to structural changes and irreversible loss of lung function
