Several studies have shown that some rare respiratory diseases, such as alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency (AATD), idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), cystic fibrosis (CF), and primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) present oxidative stress (OS) and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress. Their involvement in these pathologies and the use of antioxidants as therapeutic agents to minimize the effects of OS are discussed in this review.

Routine screening for respiratory diseases is currently not available to the general healthy population, with the exception of screening for cystic fibrosis. This chapter discusses the screening strategies in place for cystic fibrosis, TB, and other conditions, such as COPD, lung cancer, alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency, pulmonary hypertension, pulmonary arteriovenous malformation, and obstructive sleep apnoea, for which screening can be applied. While screening has the potential to improve quality of life through early diagnosis and management, it is not an easy process and cannot offer a guarantee of protection.

Immediacy of the problem of combination therapy of respiratory diseases in paediatric practice is caused by their multifactorial pathogenesis in children and the need to achieve a high clinical effect in the use of drugs at relatively low doses and with minimum risks of serious adverse effects and drug interactions. The fixed-dose combination of salbutamol, bromhexine and guaifenesin produced in the form of tablets and syrup fully meets these requirements, which makes it possible to use it in children and adults with acute, chronic infectious (ARVI, bacterial pneumonia, respiratory tuberculosis, etc.) and non-infectious (bronchial asthma, pulmonary cystic fibrosis, primary ciliary dyskinesia, etc.) diseases.
