    Abstract Purpose of review: The aim of this study was Describe the latest evidence related to the concept of clinical remission in patients with severe asthma, focusing on the lights and shadows of this concept.
    Recent findings: The idea of clinical remission in severe asthma patients brings about a significant shift in the way asthma is treated and managed. Although there has yet to be unanimous agreement among various scientific societies on the precise definition, this concept can be extremely useful in advancing the treatment of the disease.
    Summary: Asthma is a common respiratory condition that affects more than 300 million people globally. It has variable symptoms and severity levels, with about 10% of patients experiencing severe asthma. While there have been advancements in treatment, severe asthma poses significant challenges. Recent approaches have focused on achieving clinical remission, which goes beyond symptom control to address underlying inflammation and biological processes. Clinical remission criteria include the absence of symptoms, reduced medication usage, and normalized inflammatory markers. Various biologic therapies show promise, with some patients achieving remission. However, remission's definition varies globally, hindering standardization and a valid comparison. Standardizing remission criteria and refining predictive factors are crucial for effective asthma management. Overall, achieving clinical remission offers hope for improved long-term outcomes in severe asthma patients.

    Abstract Purpose of review: Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is a chronic inflammatory disorder of the sinonasal cavities classified into two major phenotypes: CRS with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) and without nasal polyps (CRSsNP). The diagnosis of CRS is based on clinical symptoms associated with imaging and/or nasal endoscopy findings of mucosal inflammation.
    Recent findings: Recently, novel biological therapies have emerged as therapeutic options for CRSwNP. Imaging is helpful in deciding whether surgery is likely to be beneficial and in guiding surgery. It can also help demonstrate a clinical response to medical therapy. However, specific guidelines concerning the role of imaging in CRwNP are lacking.
    Summary: This article provides a comprehensive and critical multidisciplinary review of the role of conventional radiology, computed tomography (CT), and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in the diagnosis and characterization of CRSwNP. Since the complete characterization of nasal polyps on CT or MR images is very challenging, we provide a critical review of the best imaging methods and essential reporting elements used to assess nasal polyps.

    Abstract The epithelium, once simply considered a protective barrier against harmful agents, has in recent times gained considerable relevance as an entity that can promote and regulate inflammatory processes through the production of cytokines, namely interleukin (IL)-25, IL-33 and thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP), known as "alarmins". TSLP, in particular, has been extensively studied as a possible therapeutic target in patients with severe asthma because it is involved in the inflammatory processes of both type 2-high and type 2-low inflammation. In this regard, tezepelumab (AMG-157/MEDI-9929), a TSLP-targeted first-in-class fully human monoclonal antibody, has been shown in phase II and III studies to be effective and safe in treating patients with severe asthma, regardless of the underlying endotype or phenotype and irrespective of baseline biomarkers, such as blood eosinophil count and fraction of exhaled nitric oxide. Here, we provide a comprehensive review of TSLP function in airway inflammatory processes, the clinical development of tezepelumab for severe asthma as well as its possible future indications.

    Abstract Patients with respiratory diseases suffer more from problems of severe psychiatric comorbidity than the general population. Asthma might cause psychiatric disorders and affect patients' quality of life negatively. Previous studies reported that mental disorders prevail in asthmatic patients, causing anxiety, depression, and suicidal risk. The aim of this study is to evaluate in real life the prevalence of psychological comorbidities in asthmatics with severe asthma treated by biologicals (Benralizumab, Mepolizumab, Omalizumab). This study starts with the hypothesis that psychological distress, anxiety, depression and suicidal risk in severe asthma patients decreases if treated by biologicals. This study involves a sample of 90 patients (32 males, 58 females and aged 53.92 ± 15.92) suffering from severe asthma and treated with the biological drugs of Benralizumab, Mepolizumab, Omalizumab during Covid-19 pandemic. At the beginning of the treatment (T0) and after 16 weeks (T1), there have been reported results from both clinical disease control, assessed using the ACT, and psychological disorders, assessed with the PSS, HADS and C-SSRS. In the sample of these patients treated with biologicals for severe asthma, the study reported a significant change in all observed parameters, including asthma control (ACT), stress (PSS), anxiety (HADS-A) and depressive symptoms (HADS-D, despite Covid-19 pandemic. In addition, there was a significant improvement in disease management, perceived stress, anxiety and depressive symptoms after a 16 week treatment for severe asthma, independent from the type of biologic drugs used during the pandemic.

    Abstract Background: Due to their complexity and to the presence of common clinical features, differentiation between asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) can be a challenging task, complicated in such cases also by asthma-COPD overlap syndrome. The distinct immune/inflammatory and structural substrates of COPD and asthma are responsible for significant differences in the responses to standard pharmacologic treatments. Therefore, an accurate diagnosis is of central relevance to assure the appropriate therapeutic intervention in order to achieve safe and effective patient care. Induced sputum (IS) accurately mirrors inflammation in the airways, providing a more direct picture of lung cell metabolism in comparison to those specimen that reflect analytes in the systemic circulation.
    Methods: An integrated untargeted metabolomics and lipidomics analysis was performed in IS of asthmatic (n = 15) and COPD (n = 22) patients based on Ultra-High-Pressure Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (UHPLC-MS) and UHPLC-tandem MS (UHPLC-MS/MS). Partial Least Squares-Discriminant Analysis (PLS-DA) was applied to resulting dataset. The analysis of main enriched metabolic pathways and the association of the preliminary metabolites/lipids pattern identified to clinical parameters of asthma/COPD differentiation were explored. Multivariate ROC analysis was performed in order to determine the discriminatory power and the reliability of the putative biomarkers for diagnosis between COPD and asthma.
    Results: PLS-DA indicated a clear separation between COPD and asthmatic patients. Among the 15 selected candidate biomarkers based on Variable Importance in Projection scores, putrescine showed the highest score. A differential IS bio-signature of 22 metabolites and lipids was found, which showed statistically significant variations between asthma and COPD. Of these 22 compounds, 18 were decreased and 4 increased in COPD compared to asthmatic patients. The IS levels of Phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) (34:1), Phosphatidylglycerol (PG) (18:1;18:2) and spermine were significantly higher in asthmatic subjects compared to COPD.
    Conclusions: This is the first pilot study to analyse the IS metabolomics/lipidomics signatures relevant in discriminating asthma vs COPD. The role of polyamines, of 6-Hydroxykynurenic acid and of D-rhamnose as well as of other important players related to the alteration of glycerophospholipid, aminoacid/biotin and energy metabolism provided the construction of a diagnostic model that, if validated on a larger prospective cohort, might be used to rapidly and accurately discriminate asthma from COPD.

    Abstract Purpose of review: Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a common, heterogeneous disease associated with abnormal inflammatory response of the lung to noxious particles and gases. The progression of disease leads to respiratory failure, disability and premature death. Although recent progress in reducing the global burden of many chronic disease, such as heart disease and cancer, mortality and morbidity due to COPD continue to increase despite of cigarette smoking worldwide policy. Additionally, diagnostic and therapeutic options have not changed in decades. While patients affected by other respiratory disease may benefit with a personalized precision medicine, thanks to the new biological treatment, to date, there is no biological treatment available for COPD. COPD is generally a neutrophils-predominant disease but approximately 40% of patients with COPD had also an eosinophilic airway inflammation.
    Recent findings: different Phase III trials have been recently performed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of several biological treatments, mostly against eosinophilic inflammation and, to date, some of this trial, still ongoing have promising results.
    Summary: This review resumes the rationale, the attempts of biological treatment in COPD and latest promising results.
