⚠️ Signet ring sign diagnostic of 'bronchiectasis' ☑️☑️

Well. Functional data has been along time coming but a paper in ATS Blue Journal has identified that WFDC2 dysfunction defines a novel molecular etiology of bronchiectasis.
We have been waiting for data like this.

5 minutes into the conference and James D Chalmers has already shown the Murray sputum chart. #bronchiectasis

Another great paper highlighting the importance of sputum colour as a prognostic characteristic in bronchiectasis!

🔹Look at your patients sputum
🔹Ask your patients to look at their own sputum at home
🔹 Patients should submit at least one annual sample to support management

PubMed LATEST: Sputum colour as a simplified effective biomarker for clinical assessment of bronchiectasis dlvr.it/T5l2sj

Hoping to see more regular airway clearance management in the future. People like me living w/ #bronchiectasis need ongoing airway clearance education to feel comfortable with what they’re doing & to understand its importance. #pleasehelpus #physio #respiratorytherapy #ntmlung
