Inhaled corticosteroids for the treatment of COVID-19
The severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) pandemic has caused severe illness and mortality for millions worldwide. Despite the development, approval and rollout of vaccination programmes globally to prevent infection by SARS-CoV-2 and the development of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), treatments are still urgently needed to improve outcomes. Early in the pandemic it was observed that patients with pre-existing asthma or COPD were underrepresented among those with COVID-19. Evidence from clinical studies indicates that the inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) routinely taken for asthma and COPD could have had a protective role in preventing severe COVID-19 and, therefore, may be a promising treatment for COVID-19. This review summarises the evidence supporting the beneficial effects of ICS on outcomes in patients with COVID-19 and explores the potential protective mechanisms.

Definition and Nomenclature of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease: Time for Its Revision
Complex diseases may be defined by combining two or more characteristics, ‘but independent of the characteristics used, once a definition is agreed on, itis practical to adopt a nomenclature that uses names and terms to classify subgroups within the disease than share similar characteristics. It follows that the definition and classification of diseases can and should change over time.
