Sputum Cellularity and MRI Ventilation Defects in Severe Asthma
Eosinophils in sputum can contribute to ventilation defects in patients with asthma. The functional consequence of some types of cellularity on ventilation is unknown. A study in the journal CHEST® investigated the effect of different sputum cellular phenotypes on abnormal ventilation evaluated by 129Xe MRI in patients with severe asthma.
Forecasting the Global Economic and Health Burden of COPD From 2025 Through 2050
Studies that have reported estimates of the economic and health burden of COPD have been limited largely to current-day estimates or relatively short-term future projections. A study in the journal CHEST® examined how the regional and global economic and health burden of COPD will evolve from 2025 to 2050, considering trends in COPD risk factors and an expanding population.
