- 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.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The overall aim for long-term tracheostomy care is to help those with respiratory failure to achieve a high-quality active life. A long-term tracheostomy does not necessarily mean an increased need for hospital care. With an optimally fitted tracheostomy tube, patient and staff education and regular follow-ups, serious complications can be avoided. This article describes predictors of good long-term tracheostomy care, such as tube selection, indications of change and follow-up.

Effects of a comprehensive, inpatient pulmonary rehabilitation programme in a cachectic patient with very severe COPD and chronic respiratory failure
- 2019

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- 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
- 2022
-
Ingår i: Breathe. - : European Respiratory Society (ERS). - 1810-6838 .- 2073-4735. ; 18:3

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- 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.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- 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.

Greenness exposure : beneficial but multidimensional
- 2023
-
Ingår i: Breathe. - : European Respiratory Society. - 1810-6838 .- 2073-4735. ; 19:2
-
Forskningsöversikt (refereegranskat)abstract
- Many studies have shown that greenness has beneficial health effects, particularly on psychological and cardiovascular outcomes. In this narrative review, we provide a synthesis of knowledge regarding greenness exposure and respiratory health. The following outcomes were reviewed: respiratory mortality, lung cancer mortality, lung cancer incidence, respiratory hospitalisations, lung function, COPD, and asthma. We identified 174 articles through a literature search in PubMed, of which 42 were eligible for inclusion in this review. The most common marker for greenness exposure was the normalised difference vegetation index (NDVI), which was used in 29 out of 42 papers. Other markers used were tree canopy cover, landcover/land-use, plant diversity, density of tall trees and subjectively perceived greenness. We found beneficial effects of greenness in most studies regarding respiratory mortality, lung cancer incidence, respiratory hospitalisations and lung function. For lung cancer mortality, asthma and COPD, the effects of greenness were less clear cut. While many aspects of greenness are beneficial, some aspects may be harmful, and greenness may have different health effects in different population subgroups. Future studies of greenness and respiratory diseases should focus on asthma and COPD, on effects in different population subgroups and on disentangling the health effects of the various greenness dimensions.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The 2017 ERS International Congress was, as always, well organised, providing participants with a good mixture of translational and clinical science. Early career members were very well represented in thematic poster, poster discussion and oral presentation sessions and were also actively involved in chairing sessions. The efforts of the Early Career Members Committee (ECMC) to increase the number of early career members included in the competence list (the list of early career members with an interest in being more actively involved in the society) paid off immensely, because the number of early career members registered improved hugely across all assemblies after the Congress. Several newly registered early career members have collated some highlights of the Congress for their assemblies, which should be of interest to all members. As assemblies 12 and 13 are new, there is no report from assembly 12 as there is not yet, at the time of writing, an early career member representative for this newly created assembly.

Holistic management of patients with progressive pulmonary fibrosis
- 2023
-
Ingår i: Breathe. - 1810-6838. ; 19:3
-
Forskningsöversikt (refereegranskat)abstract
- Progressive pulmonary fibrosis (PF) is a complex interstitial lung disease that impacts substantially on patients’ daily lives, requiring personalised and integrated care. We summarise the main needs of patients with PF and their caregivers, and suggest a supportive care approach. Individualised care, education, emotional and psychological support, specialised treatments, and better access to information and resources are necessary. Management should start at diagnosis, be tailored to the patient’s needs, and consider end-of-life care. Pharmacological and non-pharmacological interventions should be individualised, including oxygen therapy and pulmonary rehabilitation, with digital healthcare utilised as appropriate. Further research is needed to address technical issues related to oxygen delivery and digital healthcare.

Forskningsöversikt (refereegranskat)abstract
- The European Lung Foundation (ELF) is an organisation whose mission is to bring together the public and patients with respiratory professionals to improve lung health. A core part of all its activities focus on education: the education of patients on their condition, including how to prevent, treat and manage it; the education of healthcare professionals on how to improve work with patients and awareness about the issues that are important to patients; and education of the public and policy makers of the importance of lung health at a European level. ELF was founded and works in a unique partnership with the European Respiratory Society (ERS).This article has been written by the recent past Chairs and the new Chairs of three ELF committees (Council (D. Smyth and I. Saraiva), Professional Advisory Committee (K. Lisspers and G. Hardavella) and Patient Advisory Committee (J. Fuertes and K. Hill)) in order to reflect on ELF’s journey in this regard over recent years. In particular, it seems a good moment to assess the success and impact of the first patient Chair of ELF, Dan Smyth, and reflect on what this has meant for ELF’s educational activities, and what the future now looks like.

Forskningsöversikt (refereegranskat)abstract
- For patients with end-stage respiratory diseases, such as COPD, interstitial lung diseases and cystic fibrosis, lung transplantation remains the only treatable option. However, due to increasing demand and limited availability of donor lungs, risk of complications such as acute and chronic rejection, and adverse effects of immunosuppressive treatments, this is not an alternative for the majority of this patient group [1, 2]. To meet the rising clinical demand new strategies to increase the number of available lungs for transplantation are needed [2]. One such strategy involves creating a functional lung ex vivo using different de- and recellularisation approaches. In this article, we will provide an overview of three landmark studies on bioartificial lungs published during 2010 that set the base for the direction of this relatively young field.

Forskningsöversikt (refereegranskat)abstract
- Background The COVID-19 pandemic confirmed that respiratory nurses are critical healthcare providers.Limited knowledge is available about appropriate education to prepare nurses to deliver high-qualityrespiratory care. A survey was developed by the International Coalition for Respiratory Nursing (ICRN)group to identify the need for a respiratory nursing core curriculum.Method A 39-item survey was distributed to 33 respiratory nursing experts in 27 countries. Questionsasked about current roles, perception of need, expectations for a core curriculum project and respiratorycontent in nursing education in their countries.Results 30 responses from 25 countries were analysed; participants predominantly worked in academia(53.3%, 16/30) and clinical practice (40%, 12/30). In total, 97% (29/30) confirmed a need for a corerespiratory nursing curriculum. Post-registration nursing programmes at bachelor (83.3%, 25/30) andmasters (63.3%, 19/30) levels include internal/medical nursing care; less than half identified separaterespiratory nursing content. The core educational programme developed should include knowledge (70%,21/30), skills (60%, 18/30), and competencies (50%, 15/30), with separate paediatric and adult content.Conclusion Survey results confirm a wide variation in nursing education and respiratory nursing educationacross the world, with many countries lacking any formal educational programmes to prepare nursescapable of providing enhanced quality respiratory care. These findings support the need for a corerespiratory curriculum. To advance this significant work the ICRN group plans to conduct a Delphi studyto identify core curriculum requirements for respiratory nursing education at pre-registration and advancededucational levels to flexibly meet each country’s specific educational requirements for recognition ofrespiratory nursing speciality practice.
