    Abstract We present a case of severe rash following induction of elexacaftor, tezacaftor and ivacaftor (ELX/TEZ/IVA) in a young adult male cystic fibrosis patient. While rash is a commonly reported side effect which resolves in 1-2 weeks with minimal intervention, our patient had presented with fever and widespread rash prompting medication cessation. After a washout period, reintroduction with 1/2 tablet of ELX/TEZ/IVA produced a similar systemic response within 24 hours. Repeat attempt, this time with 1/8 tablet and increasing in increments of an eighth daily, was successful and has allowed our patient to experience the transformative benefits of ELX/TEZ/IVA including improved pulmonary function and reduced episodes of infective exacerbation. This case illustrates one of the most common side effects of ELX/TEZ/IVA triple therapy, and our experience of desensitisation to ELX/TEZ/IVA in a challenging case of rash.

    Abstract Neutrophils play an important role in the lung tumour microenvironment. We hypothesised that radiolabelled neutrophils coupled to single-photon emission CT (SPECT) may non-invasively quantify neutrophil uptake in tumours from patients with non-small cell lung cancer. We demonstrated increased uptake of radiolabelled neutrophils from the blood into tumours compared with non-specific uptake using radiolabelled transferrin. Moreover, indium-111-neutrophil activity in the tumour biopsies also correlated with myeloperoxidase (MPO)-positive neutrophils. Our data support the utility of imaging with In-111-labelled neutrophils and SPECT-CT to quantify neutrophil uptake in lung cancer.

    Abstract Objectives: The goal of this study was to develop a simplified radiological score that could assess clinical disease severity in bronchiectasis.
    Methods: The Bronchiectasis Radiologically Indexed CT Score (BRICS) was devised based on a multivariable analysis of the Bhalla score and its ability in predicting clinical parameters of severity. The score was then externally validated in six centers in 302 patients.
    Results: A total of 184 high-resolution CT scans were scored for the validation cohort. In a multiple logistic regression model, disease severity markers significantly associated with the Bhalla score were percent predicted FEV
    Conclusions: A simplified CT scoring system can be used as an adjunct to clinical parameters to predict disease severity in patients with idiopathic and postinfective bronchiectasis.

    Abstract Fuer eine zukunftsorientierte, Handlungsmoeglichkeiten aufweisende Umweltbildung stand das Symposion 'Fuers Ueberleben handeln lernen' vom 13.-15. September 1993 in Mainz. Es wandte sich gegen die Formen von Belehrungs- und Katastrophenpaedagogik und versuchte Wege aufzuzeigen, wie in Kindergarten, Schule und Erwachsenenbildung eine das Leben bejahende, die Wirklichkeit nicht ausblendende Bildungs- und Erziehungsarbeit geleistet werden kann. Es wurde aber auch deutlich, dass der Umweltpaedagogik Grenzen gesetzt sind: Gibt es gesamtgesellschaftlich keine Wendung, so muessen auch die paedagogischen Bemuehungen letztendlich erfolglos bleiben. Daher muessen ErzieherInnen und LehrerInnen ueber Ihre Bemuehungen in Methodik, Didaktik und Paedagogik hinaus ins oeffentliche Leben hineinwirken. Die durchgefuehrten 18 ganztaegigen Werkstaetten werden ausfuehrlich dargestellt als bunte Vielfalt paedagogischer Zugangswege. Der Band enthaelt die Texte der beiden grundlegenden Vortraege von Ernst Ulrich von Weizsaecker zu 'Umweltkrise und Generationenvertrag' und Otto Herz 'Die Bedingungen des Aufwachsens von Kindern und Jugendlichen'. Ein dritter Hauptteil hat die spezifische (umwelt-)bildungspolitische Situation in Rheinland-Pfalz zum Inhalt, ueber die referien und intensiv diskutiert wurde.
