- The 16th ERS Lung Science Conference (LSC) took place on March 8–11, 2018, in Estoril, Portugal, with around 200 delegates from all over the world. This year’s topic was “Cell-matrix interactions in lung disease and regeneration” and involved excellent presentations by leading experts in the field covering everything from exploratory studies on how the matrix functions, matrix remodelling and biomarkers in disease, to more technical knowledge described in the field of lung bioengineering. As in previous years, the Saturday afternoon was reserved for a programme dedicated to early career delegates, which this year focussed on “Maximising your publication output”. In this article, we summarise the Early Career Member highlights of this year’s LSC.

Effects of a comprehensive, inpatient pulmonary rehabilitation programme in a cachectic patient with very severe COPD and chronic respiratory failure

- Pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) is a comprehensive intervention based on a thorough patient assessment followed by personalised interventions designed to improve the physical and psychological condition of patients with chronic respiratory diseases and to promote the long-term adherence to health-enhancing behaviours [1]. While the clinical importance of physical activity is recognised across all stages of disease, the Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease (GOLD) 2019 strategy for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) states that patients that remain highly symptomatic and/or those with a history of moderate or severe exacerbations despite optimal pharmacotherapy are indicated for PR [2]. Improvements in symptoms, increases in quality of life and gains in functional capacity after PR are independent of age, sex or the baseline degree of airflow limitation [3, 4]. However, it is known that patients with higher symptoms of dyspnoea, worse functional capacity and poor health status at baseline are more likely to be good responders to PR [5]. While PR is traditionally applied in clinically stable patients, there is increasing evidence for its beneficial effects following hospitalisations [6] and in those with frequent exacerbations [5]. In patients with very severe disease awaiting lung transplantation significant improvements in exercise capacity and health status were reported after short-term comprehensive PR [7]. Moreover, an increasing number of specific (non-)pharmacological interventions are available and can be combined with PR in the subgroup of patients with very advanced disease, including neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES), noninvasive ventilatory support and anabolic agents. Finally, PR may be an appropriate setting to introduce advance care planning (ACP) [8]. The role of these personalised and targeted interventions will be highlighted in this case report.

Lessons for sleep medicine learned from the COVID-19 pandemic

- During the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, sleep medicine services were dramatically reduced worldwide. Implementation of mitigation strategies was suggested by expert organisations and helped to restart sleep medicine services. Distance communication and monitoring during diagnosis, treatment initiation, and treatment follow-up have been used widely, in particular for patients with sleep apnoea. Follow-up studies demonstrate both advantages and potential disadvantages with the use of these new technologies. Emerging epidemiological evidence suggests that obstructive sleep apnoea may be an independent risk factor for adverse outcome in COVID-19, including an increased risk for hospitalisation and elevated mortality. Experimental studies explaining the underlying mechanisms behind these findings are warranted. © ERS 2022.

Highlights of the ERS Lung Science Conference 2022

- Every year, the European Respiratory Society (ERS) organises the Lung Science Conference (LSC), in Estoril, to discuss basic and translational science. The topic of the 20th LSC was “Mucosal immunology of the lung: balancing protective immunity and chronic inflammation”. This was the first time that the LSC was organised as a hybrid congress with both in person and online attendance. In addition to an outstanding scientific programme, the LSC provides excellent opportunities for career development and inclusion of early career members (ECMs). All scientific and poster sessions are chaired by an ECM who is paired with a senior faculty to allow ECMs to become acquainted with session chairing, and there is a session organised by the Early Career Member Committee (ECMC) dedicated to career development. Moreover, travel bursaries are made available to abstract authors, and all bursary recipients and first-time attendees are invited to take part in a mentorship lunch. In this article, we provide the names of the ECM awardees and describe the scientific highlights of the LSC 2022 for those who could not attend.
