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.
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 .
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.
ERS 2025 | The Knowns and Unknowns in the COPD Landscape
Join Profs. Dave Singh and Klaus Rabe as they examine the clinical relevance of exacerbations, lung function, symptoms, quality of life, and comorbidities in COPD, as well as the evolving concept of disease stability and what that could mean for treatment planning and the future of COPD care.
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.
World Lung Day 2024
September 25th marks this year’s observance and celebration of World Lung Day!
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.
ERS 2025 | Less Flare, More Function: Recognizing the Full Spectrum of COPD Patient Outcomes
Join Drs. Nicola Hanania, Surya Bhatt, and Celeste Porsbjerg for a session exploring the burden of COPD in patients with type 2 inflammation and review key cytokine pathways and Phase 3 data on emerging biologic therapies.
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
