TL;DR: Patients with COPD who developed COVID-19 showed a higher risk of admission to the intensive care unit, mechanical ventilation, or death and a significantly higher proportion of increased activated partial thromboplastin time.

TL;DR: Significant lung function impairment should raise alert of chest HRCT abnormality and sputum culture positive for Pseudomonas aeruginosa, in patients with predominantly mild to moderate steady-state bronchiectasis.

TL;DR: EB-OCT, a minimally invasive imaging modality with high-resolution, is useful and clinically practical for assessing proximal and distal airways of human compared with CT and histology.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that high viral load, and the resulting intense inflammatory responses, played an important role in H7N9 pathogenesis and clinical management should be on preventing the intense cytokine response by early diagnosis and effective antiviral treatment.

TL;DR: Macrolide maintenance therapy, both in adults and children, was effective and safe in reducing bronchiectasis exacerbations, but not the admissions for exacerbations.
