Asthma & Breathing Research Program host HMRI - Hunter Medical Research Institute weekly seminar on world asthma day. Focus on need for oral steroid stewardship > 1/4 ppl w asthma taking toxic doses, patients want to reduce steroid use, biologics provide a way to do this treatable traits Vanessa McDonald Dr Vanessa Clark

In a world first, HMRI - Hunter Medical Research Institute and #UniNewcastle researchers have evaluated a drug called azithromycin, a macrolide antibiotic, to test if it would put moderate to severe asthma into remission.

The Continuous Bronchoscopy during Exercise (CBE) test!

✅ Main message = large airway collapse on forced expiration - doesn’t = exercise response pattern.

Big thanks to the team involved.
