- W2599075603 abstract "Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis is a prototype of chronic, progressive, and fibrotic lung disease. Healthy tissue is replaced by altered extracellular matrix and alveolar architecture is destroyed, which leads to decreased lung compliance, disrupted gas exchange, and ultimately respiratory failure and death. In less than a decade, understanding of the pathogenesis and management of this disease has been transformed, and two disease-modifying therapies have been approved, worldwide. In this Seminar, we summarise the presentation, pathophysiology, diagnosis, and treatment options available for patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. This disease has improved understanding of the mechanisms of lung fibrosis, and offers hope that similar approaches will transform the management of patients with other progressive fibrotic lung diseases.

Luca Richeldi: high hopes for rare lung diseasesLuca Richeldi, Head of the Division of Pulmonary Medicine at Agostino Gemelli University Hospital of the Catholic University of the Sacred Heart in Rome, Italy, was the first of his family to go to university. Asked why he chose to study medicine, his answer, delivered with a laugh, is unexpected. “The suggestion came from the movies.” He goes on to explain himself. “When you see doctors (on the screen) they are complex figures with humanity…saving lives, trying to do their best to improve society.” Although Richeldi has learned enough not to recommend such a motive as sufficient in itself, he does still make a favourable comparison between the youthful idealism and the adult reality: “they're not that far apart.
