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.
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.
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
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
