Pulmonary medicine 2012: news for the general practitioner].

This review reports on papers published in 2012 that will most likely impact on daily medical practice in four different areas of pulmonary medicine. How should treatment of asthma with inhaled corticosteroids be adjusted on the long run? Should idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis receive treatment with immunosuppressive drugs? Is a long-term treatment with azithromycine for bronchiectasis supported by evidence, apart from patients with cystic fibrosis? And finally, can treatment of obstructive sleep apnea with continuous positive pressure (CPAP) prevent the occurrence of new, systemic hypertension?
