Congratulations Patricia Alupo, Bruce Kirenga, Trishul Siddharthan MD & team on this new translational research to predict COPD exacerbations in Uganda. We found the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio could be used as a risk predictor in LMICs for hospital admissions due to COPD exacerbations.

This was a great learning experience..thank you @RingwaldBeate

Congratulations prof Bruce Kirenga , it a well deserved one!

Always a pleasure to work with UINCD to implement PEN- Plus. The health facilities’ eagerness to learn implement what we are training them to do is always so encouraging! UINCD

Here’s what you need to know about Lung Cancer today: It remains the leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide, with 1.8 million fatalities each year. #WorldLungCancerDay #LungHealth @RobertSalata Fredrick Schumacher @CWRU Uganda Cancer Institute The Joint Clinical Research Centre, Uganda NIMR Tanzania NIH

Lung cancer kills more people yearly than breast, colon, and prostrate cancers combined..early screening and diagnosis make all the difference…

Congratulations Prof!

As prevalent as COPD, much less is known about the prevalence and risk factors for a pattern on spirometry called #PRISm - especially in the global south. Our new GECo analysis led by Trishul Siddharthan MD is out now in The Lancet Global Health 👀 ⬇️ sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Congratulations Geco team Trishul Siddharthan MD GECo Bruce Kirenga Makerere University Lung Institute for shedding more light to this less known lung condition called PRISm.People with PRISm have poorer outcomes than those with normal lungs.. U can read more about it below! sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Not surprisingly, the picture in LMIC is a bit different

Prevalence of preserved ratio impaired spirometry (PRISm) was up to 16% and associated with impaired quality of life. Risk factors included younger age, female sex, and biomass exposure. Enjoyed working on this paper with Trishul Siddharthan MD and GECo team sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Congratulations to Dr. Patricia Alupo on receiving the International Member Award at the 2025 American Thoracic Society (ATS) She was recognized for her outstanding contributions to research and clinical care in obstructive lung diseases in LMIC Bruce Kirenga Dr Rebecca Nantanda

It was absolutely humbling to receive this recognition from American Thoracic Society (ATS) . With determination, we can reverse the trend of COPD in LMICs. Many thanks to Makerere University Lung Institute, Bruce Kirenga , Trishul Siddharthan MD John Hurst UMCG Pan African Thoracic Society
