Objective: The objective of this study was to investigate the potential association between the inflammatory burden index (IBI) and the prevalence of chronic inflammatory airway diseases (CIAD), as well as mortality rates among individuals diagnosed with CIAD.
Methods: Participants were sourced from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) conducted between 1999 and 2010. The IBI was calculated using the formula: IBI = C-reactive protein * neutrophils / lymphocytes. CIAD comprised self-reported asthma, chronic bronchitis, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Mortality outcomes, including all-cause and respiratory disease mortality, were determined through linked data from the National Death Index (NDI) up to December 2019.
Results: A total of 27,495 adults were included. IBI was divided into quartiles, with the lowest quartile as the reference group. After adjusting for confounding variables, a positive correlation was observed between higher IBI and increased prevalence of total CIAD (OR = 1.383 [1.215-1.575]), asthma (OR = 1.267 [1.096-1.465]), chronic bronchitis (OR = 1.568 [1.263-1.946]), and COPD (OR = 1.907 [1.311-2.774]). Over a median follow-up of 12.33 [9.92-16.00] years, there were 1221 deaths from all causes and 220 deaths from respiratory disease among 4499 patients with CIAD. Following multivariate adjustments, the fourth quartile was significantly associated with increased risk of all-cause mortality (HR = 2.227 [1.714-2.893]) and respiratory disease mortality (HR = 2.748 [1.383-5.459]) compared to the first quartile of IBI in CIAD participants. Moreover, variable importance analysis using a random survival forest model demonstrated the significance of IBI in predicting mortality from both all-cause and respiratory diseases.
Conclusion: IBI exhibited an association with the prevalence of CIAD, with higher IBI levels correlating with elevated all-cause and respiratory disease mortality among individuals with CIAD.

Introduction: Cystic fibrosis (CF) is an autosomal recessive disorder caused by mutations in the CF transmembrane regulator (CFTR) gene, leading to progressive lung disease and systemic complications. Lung disease remains the primary cause of morbidity and mortality, making early detection of lung function decline crucial. The Lung Clearance Index (LCI), derived from the multiple breath washout (MBW) test, has emerged as a sensitive measure for identifying early airway disease.

Molecules were proposed to block the functional cycles of the influenza virus A and SARS-CoV- 2. The blocker molecules efficiently bind inside the M2 and E channels of influenza A and SARS-CoV-2 viruses and block diffusion of H^(+)/K^(+) ions, thus distorting the virus functional cycle. A family of positively charged (+2 e.

Global prevalence of NTM-PD is generally low but is rising, likely due to a combination of increased surveillance, increasing multimorbidity and improved diagnostic techniques. Most disease is caused by Mycobacterium avium complex species.
