TL;DR: A descriptive account of the variation in self-reported attacks of asthma and asthma symptoms across Europe, and the best evidence to date that geographical differences in asthma prevalence exist, are substantial and are not an artefact of the use of noncomparable methods is presented.

Inflammation and Structural Changes in the Airways of Patients with Atopic and Nonatopic Asthma
Kawa Amin,Dora Ludviksdottir,Christer Janson,Otto Nettelbladt,Eythor Björnsson,Godfried M. Roomans,Gunnar Boman,Lahja Sevéus,Per Venge +8 more
TL;DR: Evidence is provided of different patterns of involvement of inflammatory cells in atopic and nonatopic patients with asthma, which suggests that there are differences in the extent of the immunopathologic response of these clinically distinct forms of asthma.
Journal ArticleDOI
Asthmatic symptoms and volatile organic compounds, formaldehyde, and carbon dioxide in dwellings.
TL;DR: Improved indoor environment can also be achieved by selecting building materials, building construction, and indoor activities on the principle that the emission of volatile organic compounds should be as low as reasonably achievable, to minimise symptoms related to asthma due to indoor air pollution.
Journal ArticleDOI
Asthma and the indoor environment: the significance of emission of formaldehyde and volatile organic compounds from newly painted indoor surfaces
TL;DR: Exposure to chemical emissions from indoor paint is related to asthma, and that some VOCs may cause inflammatory reactions in the airways is suggested, which suggests that the contri- bution of emissions from paint to indoor concentrations of formaldehyde and V OCs should be as low as possible.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sleep disturbances in a young adult population: can gender differences be explained by differences in psychological status?
TL;DR: It is concluded that despite a longer TST, females report insufficient sleep, EDS, DMS, and the absence of feeling refreshed in the morning more frequently than males, which cannot explain the gender differences in sleep disturbances seen in this population.
