    Abstract The diagnosis of asthma-chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) overlap (ACO) is considered when a patient presents features of both asthma and COPD, usually including a component of irreversible airway obstruction (IRAO). However, some patients with asthma, particularly smokers, may have various features typical of COPD in the absence of such component of IRAO. Features of early COPD can be found at a young age in such patients even with normal spirometry. More longitudinal studies should be conducted to determine steps needed to improve clinical outcomes of these patients including the early recognition of these changes and the application of preventative/therapeutic interventions.

    Abstract Asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are common diseases that often overlap. The term asthma-COPD overlap (ACO) has been used to define this entity but there remain several speculations on its exact definition, impact, pathophysiology, and clinical features. Patients with ACO have greater morbidity than those with asthma or COPD alone, but the information on the best therapeutic approach to this group of patients is still limited. Current treatment recommendations rely on expert opinions, roundtable discussions, and strategy documents. It is prudent to examine existing knowledge about ACO and determine the path for future research.

    Abstract Introduction: Skiers and swimmers present characteristics of airway inflammation and remodelling of the extracellular matrix similar to what is observed in mild asthma. We aimed to compare serum and sputum MMP-9/TIMP-1 levels, to assess the balance between airway fibrogenesis and inflammation process in both categories of athletes, and to observe its seasonal variations in winter sports athletes.
    Methods: We conducted a retrospective study. Winter sports athletes (
    Results: No significant difference in serum or sputum MMP-9/TIMP-1 ratio was observed between groups, nor relationship with airway function or responsiveness. Serum MMP-9/TIMP-1 ratio was higher during the summer in winter sport athletes compared with winter season (median [Interquartile range]: 3.65 [2.47-4.03] ng.ml
    Conclusion: MMP-9/TIMP-1 ratio in sputum or serum may fluctuate with training or environment but does not correlate with airway function or responsiveness in athletes.

    Abstract Purpose of review: The term 'airway remodeling' reflects changes in the type, quantity, and nature of airway wall components and their organization. The purpose of this review is to look at recent publications on airway remodeling in asthma.
    Recent findings: Animal models and in-vitro studies have confirmed the involvement of airway epithelium, airway smooth muscle (ASM), and extracellular matrix components in asthma-related airway remodeling. They report influences on proliferation of ASM cells, and how their orientation or morphology, in addition to the heterogeneity of ASM mass at different levels of airways could influence their effects. Clinical benefits have been observed following reduction of ASM following bronchial thermoplasty. Asthmatic epithelial cell transcriptome alterations were found to involve metabolism and epigenetics, beyond epithelial mesenchymal trophic unit driven by injury and repair in chronic inflammation. New ways to explore airway remodeling such as imaging or endoscopic techniques have been evaluated. Finally, new data support the role of eosinophils and mast cells in remodeling and show the influence of new asthma drugs on this process.
    Summary: As recently stated by an American Thoracic Society task force, we need more research on airway remodeling, its determinants and clinical relevance, and on the effects of asthma drugs on its various components.

    Abstract Asthma affects a significant proportion of elderly patients, but unfortunately, it is responsible for a high asthma-related morbidity and mortality in this population. This may be related not only to the development of a more severe asthma phenotype compared to younger patients, with more marked airway obstruction and a more neutrophilic type of airway inflammation, but also to the presence of many co-morbid conditions. Furthermore, in older patients, asthma is often under-diagnosed, undertreated and poorly managed. Unfortunately, elderly patients have usually been excluded of clinical trials on asthma and there is an urgent need to perform more research on the optimal management of asthma in this population.
