In this episode, Corinne Young engages with Jason Dean, a nurse practitioner specializing in restrictive thoracic disorders, to delve into the complexities of non-invasive ventilation (NIV) for patients, particularly those with COPD and neuromuscular conditions.

In this APAPP podcast, Brian Bizik, MS, PA-C, DFAAPA is joined by Justine Sicari, CRNP, to recap their COPD Bootcamp presented live at the 2026 APAPP National Conference in Las Vegas. The session reviews the 2026 GOLD guideline updates and their central focus on reducing exacerbations, along with the concept of disease activity and how multiple comorbidities and precision medicine shape whole-patient COPD care.Brian and Justine also address what comes next when a patient on optimized inhaler therapy is adherent and has completed pulmonary rehab. They discuss GOLD's exacerbation pathway, the significance of one or more exacerbations in the past year, the role of type 2 inflammation in COPD, and emerging step-up options including chronic azithromycin and the biologics now approved for COPD. Tune in for key clinical insights on early intervention, identifying candidates for step-up therapy, and the expanding treatment landscape in COPD.

In this APAPP podcast, Corinne Young, MSN, FNP-C, FCCP, is joined by Jessica Glennie, NP, of the Cleveland Clinic Interstitial Lung Disease Center, for a practical discussion on pulmonary fibrosis and the emerging LPA/LPA1 receptor pathway. The episode reviews the differences between idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) and progressive pulmonary fibrosis (PPF), the clinical burden these conditions place on patients, and the biological processes that contribute to progressive lung scarring. Corinne and Jessica explore how fibroblast activation, collagen accumulation, inflammation, and LPA1 receptor signaling may contribute to fibrogenesis—and why targeting this pathway is generating interest in pulmonary fibrosis research. They also discuss how pulmonary advanced practice providers can monitor disease progression through symptoms, pulmonary function testing, oxygen saturation, and high-resolution CT imaging. Tune in for key clinical insights on early ILD detection, recognizing progression, monitoring patients every three to six months, and the future of targeted therapies for pulmonary fibrosis.
