    Abstract Both chronic and acute infections play a significant role in the pathogenesis and clinical course of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and both cystic fibrosis (CF) and non-CF bronchiectasis. There is also specific evidence that chronic infection, even in the absence of acute infection, has an influence on the manifestations and disease course. The infections found in COPD, CF, and bronchiectasis share a number of clinical similarities, the most striking of which are bacterial persistence despite the use of antibiotics and antibiotic resistance.In the last two decades, the rate of antibiotic resistance has increased dramatically and poses serious threats for patients and public health. There are different reasons for this increase in resistance, but the overuse of antibiotics in the community is certainly the most prominent. On the other hand, the chronic use of antibiotics in chronic diseases like COPD, CF, and bronchiectasis is also potentially associated with an increase in MDR pathogens. During the last decade, a growing interest has been raised in evaluating nontuberculous mycobacteria's role in chronic respiratory diseases like bronchiectasis

    Abstract Community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) is globally one of the major causes of hospitalization and mortality. Severe CAP (sCAP) presents great challenges and need a comprehensive understanding of its long-term outcomes. Cardiovascular events and neurological impairment, due to persistent inflammation and hypoxemia, contribute to long-term outcomes in CAP, including mortality. Very few data are available in the specific population of sCAP. Multiple studies have reported variable 1-year mortality rates for patients with CAP up to 40.7%, with a clear influence by age, comorbidities, and disease severity. In terms of treatment, the potential protective role of macrolides in reducing mortality emphasizes the importance of appropriate empiric antibiotic therapy. This narrative review explores the growing interest in the literature focusing on the long-term implications of sCAP. Improved understanding of long-term outcomes in sCAP can facilitate targeted interventions and enhance posthospitalization care protocols.

    Abstract The complexity of COPD implies the need to identify groups of patients with similar clinical characteristics and prognosis or treatment requirements. This is why much attention has been paid to identifying the different clinical phenotypes by investigating the clinical expression of the disease, and endotypes by studying the biological networks that enable and limit reactions. However, this approach is complicated because one endotype gives rise to one or more clinical characteristics, and clinical phenotypes can be derived from several endotypes. To simplify the approach, a new taxonomic classification of COPD based on the different causes (or etiotypes) has been proposed, but these etiotypes have not yet been validated. A simpler method is the so-called tractable traits approach, which is free from any designation of the disorder to be treated and does not present the criticality of using etiotypes. A large randomised controlled trial on using the treatable traits approach in COPD is still lacking. Nevertheless, this approach is already applied by following the GOLD strategy. However, its application is complicated because several potentially treatable traits have been identified within the pulmonary domain, the extrapulmonary domain, and the behavioural/risk factor domain. In addition, the hierarchy of the dominant treatable traits has not yet been established, and they change over time both spontaneously and because of treatment. This means that the patients being treated according to the tractable traits approach must be constantly followed over time so that the therapy is focused on their temporal needs.

    Abstract Recently MEIS1 emerged as a major determinant of the MLL-r leukemic phenotype. The latest and most efficient drugs effectively decrease the levels of MEIS1 in cancer cells. Together with an overview of the latest drugs developed to target MEIS1 in MLL-r leukemia, we review, in detail, the role of MEIS1 in embryonic and adult hematopoiesis and suggest how a more profound knowledge of MEIS1 biochemistry can be used to design potent and effective drugs against MLL-r leukemia. In addition, we present data showing that the interaction between MEIS1 and PBX1 can be blocked efficiently and might represent a new avenue in anti-MLL-r and anti-leukemic therapy.
