Pathophysiological Mechanisms of Asthma.
TL;DR: Management of the asthmas can and should be improved by considering the pathophysiologies of the different airway diseases lumped under that umbrella term, using simple, non-invasive tests which are readily available, and treating accordingly.

Long Term Non-Invasive Ventilation in Children: Impact on Survival and Transition to Adult Care
TL;DR: Long term ventilation is associated with an increase in survival in a range of conditions leading to ventilatory failure in children, resulting in increasing numbers surviving to adulthood, and has significant implications for planning transition and adult care facilities.
