title: [Advances in respiratory health 2010: Techniques and Transplantation Section].
abstract: Five articles and an editorial on interventional pneumology were published in Archivos de Bronconeumología. Two of these articles deal with bronchoscopy, one with lung biopsy with cryoprobes, one with thermoplasty in asthma and the last with tracheobronchomalacia. We also review several publications in international journals, with special emphasis on endobronchial ultrasound. Four original articles on idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis were published in Archivos de Bronconeumología: one special article comparing two treatments and a Cochrane systematic review on the efficacy of non-steroidal drugs in this disease. Finally, we highlight studies in lung transplantation, consisting of 14 publications from different continents and with highly diverse contents: one editorial, one letter to the editor, one procedures manual and nine international publications on donor characteristics, various types of complications, experimental results in the field of preservation, and the casuistics obtained in distinct diseases in which transplantation is an option.
