The study demonstrated that nebulized HL231 at 261 µg/141 µg dose achieved comparable bronchodilation efficacy, pharmacokinetic profiles, and safety outcomes to Ultibro. HL231 showed a clear dose-response relationship with predominantly mild-to-moderate adverse events.
A study evaluated the performance of Boston Scientific EXALT Model B single-use bronchoscopes in a quaternary referral centre, showing a wide range of applications and high user satisfaction. The results demonstrate the safety and technical performance of this device.
The American College of Chest Physicians has designated October 19, 2025, as 'Love Your Lungs Day' in recognition of respiratory health. This initiative aims to raise awareness about lung diseases such as asthma and COPD, promoting equity and supporting healthcare providers.
This article reviews bronchiectasis phenotypes and endotypes, exploring their impact on disease management and treatment strategies. Recent research has identified distinct inflammatory endotypes, guiding targeted therapies and improving patient outcomes through personalized approaches.
A Brazilian study found that high blood pressure hardens the bronchi and increases airway resistance, reducing respiratory capacity. Regular physical activity may partially protect against this hardening.
The American College of Chest Physicians has released a new clinical guideline for managing central airway obstruction, providing evidence-based recommendations to guide its management. The guideline emphasizes the importance of shared decision-making and a multidisciplinary approach in optimizing care and improving outcomes.
A study of nearly 20,000 patients found that the color of their phlegm can indicate the degree of inflammation in their lungs and predict future outcomes. Patients with darker green or brown-colored sputum were at a higher risk of exacerbations, hospitalizations, and death.
The study found a decreasing trend in the global TBL cancer burden from 1990 to 2019, but regional variations persisted. The burden was highest in upper-middle-income countries and lowest in high-income countries.
Researchers used bacteriophage therapy to treat 20 complex, antibiotic-resistant lung infections in a clinical trial, resulting in no adverse reactions. More than half of treated patients experienced symptom improvement or reduced bacterial presence. The study's findings advance the promise of phage therapy as an alternative to traditi...
Researchers developed a self-propelled catheter that uses peristaltic motion to navigate ultrafine bronchi, improving biopsy accuracy. The catheter's actively curving function helps choose the direction of propulsion and its flexing drive adjusts to changes in line diameter.
Scientists identified two types of olfactory receptors that dilate and contract bronchioles when activated by specific scents. The discovery could lead to new asthma treatments using compounds like amyl butyrate, which relaxes bronchi muscles.
A novel technique called external stenting (ES) has been developed to relieve airway obstruction in children. The procedure involves suspending the airway wall to a rigid prosthesis, allowing for growth and stability. Long-term outcomes show high survival rates and successful weaning from ventilators.
Researchers found that air flows in one direction through alligators' lungs, a trait shared with birds. This unidirectional airflow may have helped archosaurs dominate Earth after the Permian-Triassic extinction, which wiped out 70% of land life.
