In conversation with...: Recent Episodes
The Lancet Respiratory Medicine
Editors speak to the journal’s authors to explore their research and its impact on people’s health, health care, and health policy in this regular podcast.
Professors Guy Brusselle and Celeste Porsbjerg join us to discuss their recent Series papers on asthma, which will be featured in a cross journal project with The Lancet, published to coincide with a Lancet journal session on asthma at ERS in Amsterdam.
The Series aims to provide an overview of recent research advances related to asthma; to provide new insights into the genetics, prevention and risk factors for asthma; review advances arising as a result of the use of monoclonal antibody therapeutics; and assess remission in adult patients. Late breaking research will also be included within the journal session and linked to the Series.

Deputy editor Ari Colosio speaks with Dr. Laura Garriga-Grimau of the Val d’Hebron Hospital, Autonomous University of Barcelona. Dr. Garriga-Grimau discusses the first multi-country cohort study to describe the clinical features and standards of care for children and young people with bronchiectasis, drawing on data from the International Pediatric Bronchiectasis Registry.
Together, they examine key findings on regional differences in diagnosis, co-morbidities, clinical severity, and treatment practices across eight countries. Dr. Garriga-Grimau highlights the significant burden of bronchiectasis on patients and health systems, as well as the urgent need for earlier diagnosis, harmonised international guidelines, and more equitable research and care.
