Effectiveness of mepolizumab for eosinophilic pneumonia following bronchial thermoplasty
A 57‐year‐old woman with poorly controlled diabetes was admitted to our hospital for additional treatment of severe asthma. Although bronchial thermoplasty was performed in the both upper lobes, cough and dyspnoea gradually appeared 2 weeks later.

Obesity: Next game changer of allergic airway diseases?
Obesity affects various aspects of allergic airway diseases, including prevalence, endotypes, clinical features and therapeutic efficacy. Therefore, obesity‐related allergic airway diseases represent a unique class of endotypes and phenotypes, which need much more in‐depth research for tailored treatment.

Background Hyperpolarized 129Xe MRI assesses lung ventilation, often using the ventilation defect percentage (VDP). Unlike VDP, defect distribution index (DDI) quantifies spatial clustering of defects. Purpose To quantify spatial distribution of 129Xe ventilation defects using DDI across pulmonary diseases. Study Type Retrospective.
