Allergic Rhinitis and Its Impact on Asthma

TL;DR: This systematic review and meta-analyses confirmed the findings of a previous study published in “Rhinitis and Asthma: Causes and Prevention, 2nd Ed.” (2015) as well as new findings of “Mechanisms of Respiratory Disease and Allergology,” which confirmed the role of EMTs in the development of these diseases.

Global initiative for chronic obstructive lung disease.

TL;DR: Representatives from many countries serve as a network for the dissemination and implementation of programs for diagnosis, management, and prevention of COPD.
Journal ArticleDOI

Global strategy for asthma management and prevention: GINA executive summary.

TL;DR: It is reasonable to expect that in most patients with asthma, control of the disease can and should be achieved and maintained, and the Global Initiative for Asthma recommends a change in approach to asthma management, with asthma control, rather than asthma severity, being the focus of treatment decisions.

Epidemiology of emergency room asthma in northern California: Association with IgE antibody to ryegrass pollen

TL;DR: Sera from 59 patients presenting with acute asthma to the David Grant Medical Center emergency room at Travis Air Force Base during the spring "epidemic" of asthma were assayed for IgE antibody (Ab) to five allergens (mite, cat, cockroach, ryegrass pollen, and ragweed) with RAST.
Journal ArticleDOI

The role of passive smoking in the development of bronchial obstruction during the first 2 years of life.

TL;DR: Exposure to environmental tobacco smoke such as is experienced in Norwegian housing increases the risk of developing bronchial obstruction during the first 2 years of life, and there was no clear exposure‐response pattern.
Journal ArticleDOI

Comparison of effects of a self management booklet and audiocassette for patients with asthma

TL;DR: The paradoxical result whereby patients learnt more from the tape but preferred the book suggests that a distinction can be made between information that patients need and information that they want, which may be acquired better from a book.
Journal ArticleDOI

Interleukin-5 binds to heparin/heparan sulfate. A model for an interaction with extracellular matrix.

TL;DR: It is shown that at low IL‐5 concentrations heparan sulfate enhances the proliferation of anIL‐5‐dependent cell line, suggesting that the binding of IL‐4 to heparin sulfate modulates IL‐ 5 activity.
Journal ArticleDOI

Validity of peak expiratory flow measurement in assessing reversibility of airflow obstruction.

TL;DR: Absolute changes in PEF can be used as a simple technique to diagnose reversible airflow obstruction in patients from general practice with a history of asthma or chronic obstructive lung disease.
