So proud to see our own on the #CHEST2026 stage this morning! Dr. Sara Assaf and Dr. Neha Solanki joined Dr. Nicola Hanania and Dr. Diego Maselli to talk about raising the bar in asthma care, moving toward clinical remission and disease modification.

By 2050, an estimated 45.7 million people in the US will have asthma. A new state-by-state GBD 2023 analysis in The Lancet Respiratory Medicine found high BMI was the leading modifiable risk factor for asthma burden. Check it out! #AII pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/4275…

Heading into winter? In a post hoc analysis of BOREAS and NOTUS presented at ERS 2026, dupilumab lowered exacerbations in every season, by 26% to 33% vs placebo, in COPD with type 2 inflammation. Check it out! #AII healio.com/news/pulmonology/…

Have your pregnant patients asked how to protect their baby from RSV? New CDC data in Pediatrics: maternal RSV vaccination was 82% effective and nirsevimab 77% effective against infant RSV hospitalization in 2024 to 2025. #AII doi.org/10.1542/peds.2026-07…

Could an IPF drug help severe asthma? In cell, lung slice and mouse models, pirfenidone relaxed airway smooth muscle and blocked neutrophilic inflammation. Check out this Red Journal editorial on the preclinical work by Xie and colleagues! #AII doi.org/10.1093/ajrcmb/aanag…

Have you noticed how many of your patients support vaccines but aren't sure which ones they need? In a new @nfidvaccines survey, only 48% of US adults tried to get a flu, COVID-19, RSV, or pneumococcal vaccine last year. Make sure to ask them! #AII nfid.org/2026RespiratoryKick…

Mucus plugs are an emerging therapeutic target in severe asthma. Check out this CHEST Physician piece from Drs. Austin Herbst, Damaris Pena Evertz and Angela Quental on the CT mucus plug score and what biologics do to it! #AII chestphysician.org/mucus-plu…

Only 20% of patients with COPD are referred to palliative care in their last three months of life, vs. about 60% of patients with cancer. Check out this CME-certified series from the ATS and CAPC on ATS Ed+, free for ATS and CAPC members! #AII atsedplus.thoracic.org/capc/…

Does one moderate COPD exacerbation matter? In 1,551 patients from the Korean KOCOSS cohort, a single moderate exacerbation meant more future exacerbations and higher 12-year mortality, backing the GOLD 2026 high-risk cutoff. Check it out in CHEST! #AII doi.org/10.1016/j.chest.2026…
