In the current issue

Ravi Mahaveda from the Cambridge COPD Centre in the UK and ERJ Open Research associate editor Zaid Zoumot from the Cleveland Clinic Abud Dhabi in the United Arab Emirates discuss a recent article by Sarah Buttery and co-workers on the patient experience of lung volume reduction (LVR) procedures for emphysema. The importance of access to LVR for patients with advanced emphysema is highlighted.

Courtney Heffernan and colleagues from the University of Aberta in Edmonton, Canada, present the results of their retrospective cohort study of pulmonary tuberculosis in immigrants and show that in high-income, low tuberculosis incidence countries, certain clinical characteristics should raise the threshold of suspicion to confirm a timely diagnosis.

Anna R. Jackon and colleagues in the UK report on the mpact of detecting and treating exercise-induced bronchoconstriction (EIB) in elite footballers, concluding that screening for and treating EIB in this group improves airway health and may improve exercise performance.

Carol Ann Kelly and co-workers in the UK present the results of their nationwide Delphi study of research priorities for respiratory nursing, identifying four themes: prevention of respiratory disease and related disability; disease management; organisation and delivery of care; and palliative care.
