ERS satellites 2025
Den 4 mars anordnade ERS en heldag med föreläsningar om pediatriska lungsjukdomar, astma, KOL och ILD (Interstitial Lung Disease). Vi har sammanfattat några av föreläsningarna här!
Lung health starts early
The foetal lungs develop in five different stages before birth, so the timing and type of insults to this development will determine the impact. New data shows that antenatal insults may impact lung function over decades. Läs mer
Preschool wheeze
Preschool wheeze is a heterogenous condition with multiple underlying pathophysiological mechanisms that result in similar clinical manifestations. Frequent severe exacerbations is linked to high risk of developing asthma. Läs mer
Consequences of vaping and e-cigarette smoking in children and adolescents
Elif Daglis föreläsning om e-cigaretter väckte ett stort intresse under frågestunden och det är tydligt att vi just nu har fler frågor än svar om långsiktiga risker och vad som kan göras för att stoppa trenden. Läs mer
Asthma comorbidities
In summary: Asthma is a complex disease worsened by comorbidities like CRSwNP, GERD, OSA, and obesity, which share inflammatory pathways and reduce treatment effectiveness. Obesity, in particular, exacerbates airway inflammation and poor asthma control. A treatable traits approach and multidisciplinary care can improve outcomes by targeting both pulmonary and non-pulmonary factors. Läs mer
Self-management of asthma
It is essential to understand the beliefs and decisions that drive behaviour and decision-making around self-management of asthma. What can influence behavior and what does ‘Good Control’ look like for the asthma patient – how can self-management be improved? Läs mer
Innovating in rehabilitation
Implementation is one of the greatest challenges in pulmonary rehabilitation of COPD. Innovations in rehabilitation may remove barriers to getting onboard a PR programme – and sticking to it. Läs mer
Global burden of COPD
COPD is an increasingly important cause of morbidity, disability and mortality worldwide. Environmental risk factors are important to address for future lung health. Läs mer
Are all COPD the same?
Spoiler alert: it is not! You are probably not surprised if you are meeting people living with COPD in health care. But are you aware of the pathophysiological differences behind the different faces of this disease? Läs mer
Sammandrag från ERS 7-11 september 2024
Utvecklingen inom astma-KOL går framåt och kollegor från den medicinska avdelningen på Chiesi bevakar den årliga europeiska lungkongressen ERS, denna gång i Wien. I år har artificiell intelligens klivit in på kongressen i och med årets kongresstema Humans and machines: getting the balance right. Det finns ingen tvekan om att AI kan analysera enorma datamängder utan så mycket som en kaffepaus, men att använda AI för kliniska beslut väcker också frågor om etik och ansvar. Vem, eller vad, vågar man lita på?
Hur låter det i en kongresshall när tusentals lungintresserade samlas? Lyssna här!
Ny läsning:
Inflammation, astma och rökning
Når vi hälsa på lika villkor år 2050?
Luftvägsregistret: kul att våra data beforskas

Let the music play – music therapy as an adjunct to clinical care
Music therapy options, including music listening and singing may address breathlessness, anxiety and depression to boost psychological well-being and motivation to exercise in people with chronic respiratory disease. Läs mer
What is Pulmonary Rehabilitation?
Professor, Sally Singh from the University of Leicester, UK, delicately presented an overview of the current challenges in pulmonary rehabilitation for breathlessness disorders. Läs mer
Inhaler Technique – Tricky to Master
Correct inhaler technique is tricky but crucial for treatment of asthma and COPD, as you ensure optimal delivery and deposition of the medication when mastering the device used. Läs mer
A whole session on research from a primary care perspective!
Ever wondered about treatable traits of obstructive lung diseases in primary care, the importance of social support for persons living with COPD, or blood eosinophil levels in the general population? Läs mer
Latest insights on COPD and cardiovascular disease
Summary of symposium Clinical year in review - COPD and cardiovascular disease: latest insights in epidemiology, detection and intervention Speakers: Borja Garcia-Cosio, Sami O. Simons, Bianca Beghè & Jennifer Quint. Läs mer
Post-prematurity lung disease: from birth to adulthood
Globally, almost 1 in 10 births are preterm, resulting in 13-15 million preterm babies annually. Thankfully, the survival rates have increased dramatically in the last decades. Läs mer
Towards health equity in 2050
Health equity is a term referring to fair and just opportunity to maintain optimal health. It entails good conditions for leading healthy lives as well as access to care when in need. Läs mer
Smoking in patients with obstructive airway diseases: a challenge beyond COPD
The session focused on the challenges of adolescent smoking, its harmful effects on asthma and COPD patients, and the reduced effectiveness of treatments in smokers. It highlighted that continued smoking accelerates disease progression, while quitting improves symptoms and treatment outcomes. The key message was the critical need for smoking cessation to promote better long-term health. Läs mer
Understanding risk factors of COPD

Digital biomarkers in asthma management
Trots snabb digitaliseringstakt är digitala biomarkörer för förändringar av astma underutnyttjade. "Wearables", bärbara mätare som smartklockor och fitbits erbjuder möjlighet att erhålla individbaserad högkvalitativ data, men frågan är om digitala biomarkörer kan revolutionera astmabehandling?
