Navigating Severe Asthma Together: A Patient-Clinician Conversation
Host: Diego Maselli, MD, FCCP
Living with severe asthma can mean hospital stays, repeated oral steroid courses, and a long search for the right care, with many eligible patients still facing delays in starting advanced therapies or struggling to stay on them. In this episode of Deep Breaths: Updates from CHEST, Dr. Diego Maselli talks with patient advocate Stephanie Fuller about her journey from uncontrolled asthma to starting biologic therapy. Together, they explore why having ongoing conversations built on knowing the whole patient can help improve outcomes for severe asthma patients. Dr. Diego Maselli is Professor and Chief of the Division of Pulmonary Diseases and Critical Care at UT Health in San Antonio.

Breaking the Code: Mechanisms and Future Therapies for Refractory Chronic Cough
Host: Eric Merrell, MD
Guest: Syed Shahzad Mustafa, MD
Guest: Glenn Schneider, MD
Part of the educational program Bridging Specialties®: Timely Diagnosis and Treatment for Refractory Chronic Cough, this activity explores emerging scientific insights and therapeutic advances shaping the management of refractory chronic cough (RCC). Despite appropriate evaluation and treatment of common etiologies, many patients continue to experience persistent cough consistent with cough hypersensitivity syndrome. Advances in understanding ATP–P2X3 signaling and neural mechanisms have reshaped the conceptual framework for RCC and informed the development of emerging therapies. This activity reviews the neurobiology of cough hypersensitivity, current management gaps, and the evolving therapeutic landscape. Clinicians will gain insight into mechanism-based care strategies and patient-centered counseling considerations in RCC management.
