Understanding Asthma Phenotypes, Endotypes, and Mechanisms of Disease.

TL;DR: The molecular mechanisms behind the heterogeneity of airway inflammation in asthmatic patients are presented, which have shifted existing paradigms in the approach to asthma to tailor novel therapies.
Journal ArticleDOI

Anticholinergics in the treatment of children and adults with acute asthma: A systematic review with meta-analysis

TL;DR: This review strongly suggests that the addition of multiple doses of inhaled ipratropium bromide to beta(2) agonists is indicated as the standard treatment in children, adolescents, and adults with moderate to severe exacerbations of asthma in the emergency setting.
Journal ArticleDOI

Regional, age and respiratory-secretion-specific prevalence of respiratory viruses associated with asthma exacerbation: a literature review

TL;DR: The findings indicate the need to develop prophylactic polyvalent or polyvirus (including RV, EnV, IfV and RSV) vaccines that produce herd immunity and reduce the healthcare burden associated with virus-induced asthma exacerbations.
Journal ArticleDOI

IL-33/IL-31 Axis in Immune-Mediated and Allergic Diseases.

TL;DR: This paper aims to give the readers a complete and updated review of IL-31 and IL-33 involvement among the most common autoimmune and allergic disorders.
Journal ArticleDOI

Spotlight on microRNAs in allergy and asthma.

TL;DR: An overview of the current research on miRNAs in allergic diseases, including atopic dermatitis, allergic rhinitis, and asthma is given and how individual miRNas function in the regulation of immune responses in epithelial cells and specialized immune cells in response to different environmental factors and respiratory viruses is discussed.

Community study of role of viral infections in exacerbations of asthma in 9-11 year old children.

TL;DR: This study supports the hypothesis that upper respiratory viral infections are associated with 80-85% of asthma exacerbations in school age children.
Journal ArticleDOI

Bronchial reactivity to inhaled histamine: a method and clinical survey.

TL;DR: An easy and safe dose‐response histamine‐inhalation test is described, to measure the level of non‐specific bronchial reactivity.

Mepolizumab and Exacerbations of Refractory Eosinophilic Asthma

TL;DR: The results of this study suggest that eosinophils have a role as important effector cells in the pathogenesis of severe exacerbations of asthma in this patient population.
Journal ArticleDOI

Asthma exacerbations and sputum eosinophil counts: a randomised controlled trial.

TL;DR: A treatment strategy directed at normalisation of the induced sputum eosinophil count reduces asthma exacerbations and admissions without the need for additional anti-inflammatory treatment.
