Oppsummering fra ERS Satelittsymposium 4. mars 2025
ERS satellitt: Lungenes utvikling
Lung health starts early
The foetal lungs develop in five different stages before birth, so the timing and type of insults to this development will determine the impact. New data shows that antenatal insults may impact lung function over decades. Les mer
Preschool wheeze
Preschool wheeze is a heterogenous condition with multiple underlying pathophysiological mechanisms that result in similar clinical manifestations. Frequent severe exacerbations is linked to high risk of developing asthma. Les mer
Consequences of vaping and e-cigarette smoking in children and adolescents
Elif Dagli’s talk about e-cigarettes sparked a lot of interest in the Q&A session and it’s clear that we currently have more questions than answers on what risks are entailed and what can be done to stop the trend. Les mer
ERS Satellitt: Astma
Asthma comorbidities
In summary: Asthma is a complex disease worsened by comorbidities like CRSwNP, GERD, OSA, and obesity, which share inflammatory pathways and reduce treatment effectiveness. Obesity, in particular, exacerbates airway inflammation and poor asthma control. A treatable traits approach and multidisciplinary care can improve outcomes by targeting both pulmonary and non-pulmonary factors. Les mer
Self-management of asthma
It is essential to understand the beliefs and decisions that drive behavior and decision-making around self-management of asthma. What can influence behaviour and what does ‘Good Control’ look like for the asthma patient – how can self-management be improved? Les mer
ERS satellitt: Kols
Global burden of COPD
COPD is an increasingly important cause of morbidity, disability and mortality worldwide. Environmental risk factors are important to address for future lung health. Les mer
Are all COPD the same?
Spoiler alert: it is not! You are probably not surprised if you are meeting people living with COPD in health care. But are you aware of the pathophysiological differences behind the different faces of this disease? Les mer
Innovating in rehabilitation
Implementation is one of the greatest challenges in pulmonary rehabilitation of COPD. Innovations in rehabilitation may remove barriers to getting onboard a PR programme – and sticking to it. Les mer
Sammendrag fra ERS 7.-11. september 2024
Utviklingen av astma-KOLS går fremover og kolleger fra medisinsk avdeling ved Chiesi dekker den årlige europeiske lungekongressen ERS, denne gangen i Wien. I år har kunstig intelligens kommet med på kongressen med årets kongresstema Mennesker og maskiner: å få riktig balanse. Det er ingen tvil om at KI kan analysere enorme mengder data uten så mye som en kaffepause, men bruk av KI til kliniske beslutninger reiser også spørsmål om etikk og ansvar. Hvem, eller hva, tør du å stole på?
Hvordan høres det ut i en kongresshall når 20 000 lungeinteresserte samles?

Let the music play – music therapy as an adjunct to clinical care
Music therapy options, including music listening and singing may address breathlessness, anxiety and depression to boost psychological well-being and motivation to exercise in people with chronic respiratory disease. Les mer
Inhaler Technique – Tricky to Master
Correct inhaler technique is tricky but crucial for treatment of asthma and COPD, as you ensure optimal delivery and deposition of the medication when mastering the device used. Les mer
What is Pulmonary Rehabilitation?
The human body is built for movement, and for people living with COPD, it is particularly important to keep moving, here's why. Les mer
A whole session on research from a primary care perspective!
What is a normal blood eosinophil level and are there quick fixes for improving asthma or COPD control? And can having some who cares make a difference for your health? Les mer
Latest insights on COPD and cardiovascular disease
Summary of symposium Clinical year in review - COPD and cardiovascular disease: latest insights in epidemiology, detection and intervention Speakers: Borja Garcia-Cosio, Sami O. Simons, Bianca Beghè & Jennifer Quint. Les mer
Smoking in patients with obstructive airway diseases: a challenge beyond COPD
Summary of ERS Symposia (September 8, 2024) covering the challenges of adolescent smoking, its harmful effects on asthma and COPD patients, and the reduced effectiveness of treatments in smokers. It highlighted that continued smoking accelerates disease progression, while quitting improves symptoms and treatment outcomes. The key message was the critical need for smoking cessation to promote better long-term health. Les mer
Post-prematurity lung disease: from birth to adulthood
Globally, almost 1 in 10 births are preterm, resulting in 13-15 million preterm babies annually (1). Thankfully, the survival rates have increased dramatically in the last decades. Summary of symposium from Sept 8, 2024. Les mer
Towards health equity in 2050
Health equity is a term referring to fair and just opportunity to maintain optimal health. It entails good conditions for leading healthy lives as well as access to care when in need. Les mer
