Mucus plugging in severe asthma: Clinical significance and emerging therapeutic targets
As image-based markers become increasingly integrated into severe asthma phenotyping, the mucus plug score may evolve into a clinically actionable tool.
-
Rethinking pediatric home mechanical ventilation
Persistent disparities in caregiver burden, home nursing shortages, and access to resources highlight the need for standardized education, telemedicine integration, and national safety infrastructure.
-
Airway clearance pharmacotherapy: Past, present, and future
The central question in non-CF bronchiectasis is no longer whether mucoactives work but for whom, under what circumstances, and at what cost in treatment burden.

Airway crossroads: The overlap of bronchiectasis and obstructive lung disease
Bronchiectasis frequently coexists with asthma or COPD, forming an overlap phenotype that’s increasingly recognized but often overlooked.
-
The emerging role of biologic therapy in asthma-COPD overlap
Biologics such as dupilumab, mepolizumab, benralizumab, and tezepelumab are an emerging option for select patients with asthma-COPD overlap, particularly those with T2-high inflammatory phenotypes.
-
Advancements in pediatric airway evaluation
Pediatric airway anatomy evaluation continues to evolve with the development of newer technologies such as dynamic volumetric CT scans.
-
Strengthening more than just airways
Emerging research reveals that nutrition and exercise are two powerful yet underutilized tools in managing bronchiectasis.
