PANoptosis opens new treatment options for allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis.

Background: Allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis (ABPA) is a rare airway disorder primarily affecting patients with asthma and cystic fibrosis. Persistent airway inflammation brought on by exacerbates the underlying condition and can cause significant respiratory damage. Treatments center on reducing inflammation with the use of corticosteroids and antifungals.

Postnasal Drip.

Postnasal drip (PND) is a common symptom encountered when evaluating subjects with sinonasal disease; it may be present without sinonasal disease or as a symptom of laryngopharyngeal reflux. It is postulated that PND stems from dysfunction of normal mucus clearance mechanisms; however, there is no definitive evidence elucidating an exact pathophysiology. Compounding the uncertainties surrounding PND is the lack of an objective assessment tool.
