Asthma Not Associated with Poorer Outcomes in Hospitalized COVID-19 Patients
Massachusetts General Hospital researchers found that inpatients with COVID-19 who had asthma were less likely than COVID-19 inpatients without asthma to require ICU admission or mechanical ventilation and were not at increased risk of death.

Acid Suppressant Therapy in Infancy Linked to Increased Risk of Childhood Respiratory Conditions
Lacey B. Robinson, MD, MPH, Carlos A. Camargo, Jr., MD, DrPH, and colleagues studied children with a history of severe bronchiolitis who were treated with acid suppressant medications during infancy, finding their risk of developing recurrent wheeze and asthma in early childhood was nearly doubled.

Discovering the Pathways That Lead to Allergic Asthma
Jehan Alladina, MD, and colleagues of the Division of Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine at Massachusetts General Hospital, are using an innovative in vivo research method to study allergic asthma pathogenesis.

Differences in Measuring Endotoxin Explains Contradictory Results on Lung Health Effects
Molly Wolf, MD, and Peggy S. Lai, MD, MPH, of the Division of Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine, explain that common methods of quantifying microbial exposure have inherent limitations, which probably explain the contradictory evidence on whether microbial exposure harms lung health.

Maximizing Clinical Utility of Pulmonary Optical Imaging
Massachusetts General Hospital researchers push the limits of pulmonary optical frequency domain imaging for in vivo diagnosis of lung cancer and assessment of asthmatic airways.

Endobronchial OCT Useful for Assessing Airway Remodeling and Function in Asthma
A minimally invasive technique, endobronchial optical coherence tomography, measured multiple important features of airway remodeling simultaneously and demonstrated the physiological relevance of even mild airway remodeling in asthma.
