Very pleased to see The Global State of COPD report released today: POLITICOEurope politico.eu/sponsored-cont… We are making progress tackling this common, neglected and challenging condition - but there is so much more to do. I will always #SpeakUpforCOPD. Will you #ERS2024 ?

UAB’s AI in Medicine and Nursing Symposium – Oct. 17-18, 2024. Registration coming soon!  calendar.uab.edu/event/ai-in-me… UAB School of Nursing UAB Medicine UAB UABHealthProfessions Maastricht University

We were thrilled to welcome members of Thammasat University and show them around the UAB Heersink School of Medicine & Benjamin Russell Hospital for Children. We look forward to future collaborative opportunities! Anupam Agarwal Rubin Pillay

1/2 The Center for Lung Analytics and Imaging Research (#CLAIR) is off to a great start! In the ERS publications, we show that a deviation from the expected exponential increase in airway CSA from trachea to periphery can be quantified using the Airway Tapering Slope #COPD

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!

Today is World #COPD Day. Many exciting developments lately and I hope these become available to pts soon! But we must first detect them! #knowyourlungfunction NIH NHLBI COPD Foundation

1/2 We developed a new metric (PiSlope) to quantify airway wall remodeling in #COPD; associated with respiratory symptoms, lung function decline, & all-cause mortality. #CLAIR With Sandeep Bodduluri Arie Nakhmani Joe Reinhardt Radiology pubs.rsna.org/doi/10.1148/ra…

📊The new CT metric PiSlope quantifies airway remodeling and links to dyspnea, quality of life, functional capacity, exacerbations, lung function decline, and mortality.

1/2 New pub in ATS Blue Journal We challenge the paradigm that all emphysema results from small airway disease. We show that most new emphysema arises from areas of high Mechanically Affected Lung (MAL) and in substantially higher proportion than areas of small airways disease.

Join us for an exciting Pro/Con debate on diagnosis of #COPD: Lower limit of normal vs. Fixed ratio; Should diagnosis include more than spirometry; Is Pre-COPD legit? #ATS2025 Nicola A. Hanania MeiLan Han Frank Sciurba Jessica Boniface Johanna Maria Lindner @Mannino ats2025.d365.events/directory/sess…

📣Using imaging and respiratory symptoms, researchers identified up to 15.4% of individuals without airflow obstruction as having #COPD, according to research presented at #ATS2025 and published in JAMA. Surya P Bhatt, MD, MSPH American Thoracic Society (ATS) healio.com/news/pulmonolo…
