Happy Thursday, Friends!
It’s getting cold outside! This week we’re highlighting a new patient story from the Czech Republic on a younger patient diagnosed with a disease generally associated with senior demographics. Moving across the globe, we also have an article on a Colombian family who also experiences an early-onset condition. Next, we have an opinion piece from a patient contributor and an article on innovation for patients who have reduced lung function. So sit back and enjoy this week’s editor’s choice.
