  • VCD got me in and I'm staying

    I was searching for any podcasts discussing VCD as someone who has both severe VCD and Asthma. I regularly share my story of overcoming the odds and surviving severe episodes simultaneously of both and also being part of the clinical trials at Monash for both botox injections into the vocal cord and for dupilimab (eosinophilia) as well as having been on mepo and now benza until dupi comes into the market here. I was impressed with the discussion, and as a patient to hear that other view which of... more

ATS Breathe Easy – ATS 2026: New Pavlov Study Could Help Sleep Apnea Patients Rest Easier
Q: What were the long-term findings after stopping treatment?
Following discontinuation, the positional therapy group maintained a high rate of responders, with 78% at three months and 72% at one year, while the CPAP group fell to 0% responders by three months, indicating a durable effect for positional therapy.
ATS Breathe Easy – ATS 2026: New Pavlov Study Could Help Sleep Apnea Patients Rest Easier
Q: How was the study designed and what defined a responder?
The study had two phases: six months with CPAP in one group and a positional device in the other. A responder was defined as a hypopnea index below 15 events per hour with at least a 50% reduction. After six months, treatment was discontinued in both arms and efficacy was reassessed at one week and one month, with sustained responses notably higher in the positional group.
ATS Breathe Easy - ATS 2026: How a Rare Genetic Disorder Could Change Lung Disease Care
Q: Donna, what does the discovery mean for families living with HBS and facing a near-certain progression to pulmonary fibrosis?
The biomarkers could enable earlier, less invasive monitoring and potentially guide changes in surveillance and care before fibrosis fully develops, offering a sense of hope and a clearer roadmap for families.
ATS Breathe Easy - ATS 2026: How a Rare Genetic Disorder Could Change Lung Disease Care
Q: Can you walk us through what you and your team did, profiling hundreds of metabolites and cytokines? What emerged and how did CCL-22 and choline rise to the top?
We conducted a comprehensive integrated analysis combining serum metabolomics, cytokine/chemokine profiling, and pulmonary function data, then used network analyses to identify two standout molecules, CCL22 and choline, that correlate with fibrosis progression and differentiate those who will develop fibrosis.
ATS Breathe Easy - Innovations in Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis Care
Q: Yeah. So tell us about the clinical trial that United Therapeutics is doing, the data and how these findings might influence future therapeutic strategies.
Dr. Nathan explains that the United Therapeutics trials (the Teton program) evaluated inhaled trip prosanol in IPF with PHILD, showing preserved or improved FVC over 16 weeks and favorable outcomes at 52 weeks in Phase 3 studies, suggesting potential for an additional therapeutic pathway and regulatory approval in IPF.
