Thigs that Go Bump i the Thorax Early Oset Spie ad Chest Wall Disorders i Childre: Treatmet Update Dr. Gregory Reddig, Seattle Childre s Hospital, Seattle, WA Early oset spie ad chest wall deformities produce pulmoary cosequeces which ca be severe. Whe they iterfere with ormal respiratory fuctio, they are defied as Thoracic Isufficiecy Sydrome. This sydrome icludes may deformities, icludig scoliosis, hypoplastic thoraces ad abset or fused ribs. Early oset Scoliosis (EOS) is subclassified as idiopathic, cogeital, euromuscular, sydromic ad thoracogeic. All produce reduced lug volumes, chest wall compliace ad respiratory muscle stregth. This leads to poor sleep, poor growth ad exercise itolerace. Deformities ofte progress with growth.

The literature suggests that patiets with ACO have worse health outcomes tha patiets with asthma or COPD aloe. Recogizig ACO as a etity beyod the sum of its parts is importat because strategies for its maagemet are ot simply those of asthma ad COPD combied, however, despite its importace, may gaps i kowledge about ACO remai.

Quatifyig the Small Airways i vivo: Fidigs from the CaCOLD Study Dr. Mirada Kirby, Uiversity of British Columbia, Vacouver, BC There is growig appreciatio for the global burde of lug diseases, yet there is still a lack of treatmets that reduce mortality rates or alter disease progressio. The lack of progress i disruptig lug disease burde is largely because lug diseases, i particular COPD, are remarkably heterogeeous with multiple distict uderlyig disease mechaisms, or pheotypes, that require targeted therapy. Quatitative i-vivo imagig provides a opportuity to develop imagig biomarkers of the uderlyig disease to better idetify, pheotype ad stratify patiets for targeted treatmets. This talk will describe emergig computed tomography (CT) biomarkers of COPD ad how these imagig biomarkers ca help us better uderstad the disease ad predict the outcomes that matter to COPD patiets. describe established ad emergig pulmoary imagig biomarkers; outlie opportuities for imagig biomarkers to improve uderstadig, diagosis ad serial moitorig of lug disease; ad discuss opportuities for multi-scale imagig ad validatio of imagig biomarkers i COPD. 24
