Safety and efficacy of bronchial thermoplasty in Australia 5 years post‐procedure
In an Australian cohort of very severe asthmatics treated with bronchial thermoplasty, maintenance of effect was seen at 5 years with sustained reductions in ACQ score and exacerbation frequency. When compared with baseline CT imaging, some cases demonstrated bronchial dilatation, without clinical features of bronchiectasis.

The evolving landscape of immunotherapy for the treatment of allergic conditions
Abstract Allergic conditions, such as asthma, chronic urticaria, atopic dermatitis (AD), and eosinophilic esophagitis, have long been treated with oral and topical steroids which resulted in negative off‐target effects. However, newer biologic medications are increasingly being developed and approved for treatment of these conditions. These medications
