Airway mucous plugging is associated with exacerbations, lung function decline, and mortality in COPD, asthma, and bronchiectasis. Identifying it as a treatable trait may improve patient outcomes through airway clearance techniques and pharmacological strategies.
Airflow limitation can worsen or improve from school age to adulthood at all severity levels. This study examines lung function changes and the impact of BMI and wheezing, highlighting key health interventions.

La Societat Catalana de Pneumologia (SOCAP) y Chiesi han lanzado la iniciativa ‘Sense Límits’ para concienciar sobre las enfermedades respiratorias, con actividades divulgativas y solidarias como espirometrías, pedaleos solidarios y marchas nórdicas, promoviendo la investigación científica y el cuidado de la salud respiratoria.
This study explores how changes in the respiratory microbiome relate to systemic inflammation in COPD patients. It highlights correlations between bacterial abundance, eosinophilic markers, and airflow limitation severity.
This study investigates telomere length (TL) in bronchiectasis patients, comparing them to COPD patients and healthy controls. Findings show no significant TL reduction in bronchiectasis compared to controls, but a trend towards shorter TL in idiopathic cases. Further research is needed to understand TL’s role in bronchiectasis.
