Myeloperoxidase is a green protein contained in neutrophils. So if the sputum is green, patients have a lot of inflammation and are at high risk of exacerbation
Simple and clinically useful!
No… Not thinking of repainting a room. One of the best biomarkers for those of us living with bronchiectasis is sputum color! Very handy to keep this chart in mind… #Bronchiectasis #sputum #Phlegm #Mucus

Indians gave Rs 4,000+cr to Turkey & Azerbaijan last year through tourism. Created jobs. Boosted their economy, hotels, weddings, flights.
Today, both stand with Pakistan after Pahalgam attack.
Plenty of beautiful places in India & the world.
Please skip these 2 places.
Jai Hind.

🔍 New Insights on Fibrotic Interstitial Lung Disease (ILD): Dynapenia and sarcopenia were independently associated with increased mortality risk in ILD:
Dynapenia: HR 2.04 (p=0.022)
Sarcopenia: HR 1.88 (p=0.049)

Quietly remembering over 8,000 people who died of pulmonary fibrosis in 2024, including DJ Johnnie Walker, Indian musician Zakir Hussain and patient advocate Maggie Bartlett. As the year comes to an end, our thoughts are with them and their families. @ActionPFcharity #StopPF

Patient centered WASOG 2024 for ILDs and Sarcoidosis in Agra, India to discuss ILDs advances in CTD-ILDs
Meeting colleagues all around the world and sharing ideas from fibrosis to severe asthma @DrMMukherjee
#Taj #Agra the @wasog conference in Agra has been thoroughly enjoyable. Witnessing the Taj with the rising sun - and fun banter ranging from ILD to severe asthma! Woot! @Katerin27451987

Dupilumab approved in US and China today, first biologic ever in #COPD. Truly groundbreaking moment for patients with COPD, many of whom stand to gain from this incredible advance in science. Congrats @sanofi and @Regeneron. Grateful to have been a small part of this journey!

Does bronchoalveolar lavage correlate well with radiologic features in ILD? In this real-world study from the @CARE_PF registry, nope! 🧵

If you were wondering how a 4L donor lung can possibly be placed through a 6cm incision: gentle pressure + suction applied to the chest can do a lot! The #lung is a tremendous organ! Robotic lung transplant = smaller incision and faster recovery #transplant @ISHLT @CedarsSinai

A great step for #CureIPF!!! INTEGRIS-IPF, a phase IIa #RCT suggests that Bexotegrast, an αvβ6 & αvβ1 inhibitor has safety & dose-dependent efficacy. Can't wait for Phase III results. Kudos Drs Lancaster, Flaherty, #IntegrisIPF team & @ATSBlueEditor! doi.org/10.1164/rccm.202403-…

What is Brensocatib?
Its an oral medication which blocks an enzyme called dipeptidyl peptidase-1 (DPP-1, also known as cathepsin C). In the bone marrow DPP-1 activates damaging neutrophil proteases as neutrophils are maturing and so blocking it reduces lung inflammation
