Reducing the use of oral corticosteroids (OCS) in severe asthma is now a key clinical objective; health economic modelling of OCS-sparing strategies indicates that early action would have a tangible, positive impact on the cost of OCS-related comorbidities https://bit.ly/3YBvfp9

This article presents the pathophysiological mechanisms by which patients with pleural effusion experience dyspnoea and the mechanism by which these patients may clinically benefit from thoracentesis, regardless of the size of the pleural effusion. https://bit.ly/486GQC7

Rigid bronchoscopy permits direct visualisation and intervention within the central airways, enabling complex therapeutic procedures, e.g. foreign body removal, tumour debulking, stent deployment, and in massive haemoptysis; general anaesthesia is mandated https://bit.ly/3KLVepN

ERJOR: Airway NETs are increased in obese people with asthma, while NETs are also associated with BMI. Airway eDNA is associated with lower lung function and asthma control. NETs are likely source of eDNA as DNA–elastase complexes correlate with eDNA. https://bit.ly/43s0R3A
