David Haussler: What Can We Learn From Sequencing Our Genomes?
David Haussler explores the question, “What information is hidden inside your genome?” By comparing the sequenced genomes of different organisms, researchers can identify changes in the genetic code that led to specific evolutionary innovations in the past. The implications for medicine and biology are profound. However, as Haussler mentions, more computational talent is required to analyze such a large number of genomes, especially as more genomes continue to be sequenced at an increasingly rapid pace.

This patient had severe kyphoscoliosis as a child with insertion of spinal rods in early adulthood. She is a life-long non-smoker. She first presented in 2001 with an irritating cough and several treatments with antibiotics failed to alleviate it.Aspergillus precipitin titre was high and she was initially diagnosed with chronic pulmonary aspergillosis with one cavity containing an aspergilloma. This patient developed resistance to all azole therapies.

So this was meant to only be about 5 minutes long and has ended up being 18 minutes... But please watch. I am trying to raise as much awareness as possible for two diseases I have Sarcoidosis and Aspergillosis and you can all help me achieve my goal.
Bridging the Health Divide in Europe
Reducing inequalities and the impact of austerity measures on respiratory healthcare.
This ERS Vision documentary was produced to help raise the awareness of inequality of healthcare across Europe, notably in respiratory medicine. Bringing together experts from different organizations such as the European Respiratory Society, World Health Organisation, EuroHealthNet, this video addresses important issues that are affecting respiratory healthcare in today’s difficult economic climate.
European Respiratory Society: The current difficult econominc and financial environment is causing significant differences in the treatment of resiratory disease across europe.
Translational Medicine in Respiratory Disease
Research into new drugs & other treatments is very slow. This video explorers ways we may speed that up' Prof. Peter Barnes presents this latest instalment of ERS Vision. The film looks at ways to break down the barriers that obstruct and delay the development of new medicines at every stage of the discovery process. Leading experts in the field tackle issues such as data protection, risk management, protocol development and European regulations, and emphasise the importance of developing active collaborations between the different stakeholders involved in the drug development process.
European Respiratory Society: Speeding up the development of new treatment by removing barriers to progress.
ERS Vision - Personalising Respiratory Care in Europe
Personalised medicine is transforming the way disease is prevented, treated and managed. This has been coupled with an advance in telehealth technology, allowing patients to monitor their own symptoms on portable electronic devices or mobile phones.
Nutritional Science in the Prevention & Management of COPD
Poor diet and weight loss (and obesity) needs to be treated in people with chronic lung conditions - including aspergillosis. This video describes the latest research results for COPD, some of which may be applicable for other chronic lung conditions.
Designing Drugs to Better Help Real Lives
Are drugs designed to work best for all patients?
Are randomised controlled trials achieving the results we need for patients? In the latest instalment of ERS Vision, Professor Elisabeth Bel leads a discussion on the relevance of real-life evidence and whether it can enhance existing guidelines.
The documentary considers how we can ask the right questions to provide the right solutions for each individual patient. Leading experts consider the value of this type of research, along with the issues surrounding quality standards, costs and how it can be effectively designed and applied.
