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.

The Mechanics of Airway Narrowing in Asthma

TL;DR: It is concluded that the walls of the airways of patients with asthma are thickened by chronic inflammation and that this thickening could be as important as smooth muscle shortening in determining the airway responsiveness of these patients.

Prevalence of Asthma and Atopy in Two Areas of West and East Germany

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the prevalence of asthma, hay fever, atopy, and bronchial hyperresponsiveness (BHR) in 9- to 11-year old children in West Germany and East Germany.

Bronchoscopic evaluation of severe asthma. Persistent inflammation associated with high dose glucocorticoids.

TL;DR: Investigating the presence and type of airway inflammation in patients with severe asthma suggests that inflammation remains in severe symptomatic asthmatics despite treatment with high dose glucocorticoids, which may be due to the severity of disease, glucOCorticoid treatment, or other as yet undefined factors.

Genetic susceptibility to asthma--bronchial hyperresponsiveness coinherited with a major gene for atopy.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that a trait for an elevated level of serum total IgE is coinherited with a traits for bronchial hyperresponsiveness and that a gene governing bronchiahyperresponsiveness is located near a major locus that regulates serum IgE levels on chromosome 5q.
