BACKGROUND: Asthma is a common chronic inflammatory airway affecting over 260 million people worldwide, and characterized, in the large majority of cases, by the so-called "type 2 inflammation". Fractional exhaled nitric oxide (FENO ) testing is noninvasive point-of-care tool to assess type 2 inflammation and therefore improve asthma management. It has been suggested to determine eligibility for a specific biologic therapy and predict likelihood to respond. The aim of this study was to estimate the overall economic impact of an extensive use of FENO testing on the Italian population with asthma, including extra costs of testing and savings generated by more appropriate prescriptions, increased adherence and lower frequency of exacerbations...

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the role of V/P SPECT/CT and HRCT quantitative parameters in evaluating COPD and asthma disease severity, airway obstructivity-grade, ventilation and perfusion distribution patterns, airway remodeling, and lung parenchymal changes. METHOD: Fifty-three subjects who underwent V/P SPECT/CT, HRCT, and pulmonary function tests (PFTs) were included. Preserved lung ventilation (PLVF), perfusion function (PLPF), airway obstructivity-grade (OG), proportion of anatomical volume, ventilation and perfusion contribution of each lobe, and V/P distribution patterns were evaluated using V/P SPECT/CT...

The interpretation of lung auscultation is highly subjective and relies on non-specific nomenclature. Computer-aided analysis has the potential to better standardize and automate evaluation. We used 35.9 hours of auscultation audio from 572 pediatric outpatients to develop DeepBreath : a deep learning model identifying the audible signatures of acute respiratory illness in children. It comprises a convolutional neural network followed by a logistic regression classifier, aggregating estimates on recordings from eight thoracic sites into a single prediction at the patient-level...

Asthma is a chronic respiratory disease with a high health, social and economic impact, particularly in the case of Severe Uncontrolled Asthma (SUA). For this reason, new strategies are especially necessary to improve its approach, with a personalized approach to each patient and from a multidisciplinary perspective, in addition to integrating the new telemedicine and telepharmacy practices promoted as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. In this context, the TEAM 2.0 project ("Work in Multidisciplinary Asthma Teams") has been developed, following the TEAM project carried out in 2019, with the aim of updating and prioritizing good multidisciplinary work practices in SUA in a post pandemic context and analyze the progress made...

BACKGROUND: Phenotypes of adult asthma have been identified in previous studies but rarely in population-based settings. OBJECTIVE: To identify clusters of adult-onset asthma, in a Finnish population-based study on subjects born before 1967. METHODS: We used population-based data from 1350 asthmatics with adult-onset asthma (Adult Asthma in Finland) from Finnish national registers. Twenty-eight covariates were selected based on literature...

ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE: Pi-Pa-Run-Fei-Tang (PPRFT) is an empirical TCM prescription for treating asthma. However, the underlying mechanisms of PPRFT in asthma treatment have yet to be elucidated. Recent advances have revealed that some natural components could ameliorate asthma injury by affecting host metabolism. Untargeted metabolomics can be used to better understand the biological mechanisms underlying asthma development and identify early biomarkers that can help advance treatment...

BACKGROUND: Allergic asthma is a heterogeneous disorder involving chronic airway inflammation, reversible airflow limitation and tissue remodeling, causing chronic airflow limitation. Most of the asthma research has been focused on elucidating the pro-inflammatory pathways underlying disease pathogenesis. Paradoxically, the necessity of appropriate termination and resolution of inflammation has not been recognized until recently. The latter has led to the concept of chronic inflammation developing as a result of lack of specific 'stop' signals for the inflammatory process...

BACKGROUND: Accumulating epidemiological studies have demonstrated that smoking caused damage to human health. However, these studies almost focused on the individual smoking pattern rather than the toxic ingredients of tobacco smoke. Despite the exact accuracy of cotinine as a smoking exposure biomarker, there were few studies investigating the association between serum cotinine and human health. This study aimed to provide novel evidence about the harmful effect of smoking on systemic health from the perspective of serum cotinine...

Combined allergic rhinitis and asthma syndrome (CARAS) causes chronic respiratory inflammation in allergic individuals. Long-term exposure to particulate matter 2.5 (PM2.5; particles 2.5 µm or less in diameter) can aggravate respiratory damage. Bergapten (5-methoxysporalen) is a furocoumarin mostly found in bergamot essential oil and has significant antioxidant, anticancer, and anti-inflammatory activity. This study created a model in which CARAS was exacerbated by PM2.5 exposure, in BALB/c mice and explored the potential of bergapten as a therapeutic agent...

Omalizumab is the first approved anti-immunoglobulin E (IgE) agent for the treatment of moderate to severe persistent inadequately controlled allergic asthma in adults and adolescents (≥ 12 years old). In 2016, it was approved in pediatric patients (6-11 years old). The objective of this study was to quantitatively characterize the relationship between serum free IgE and pulmonary function (as measured by forced expiratory volume in 1 s [FEV1]) in pediatrics using a population-based pharmacodynamic model...

Polypharmacy has become a major health issue for pregnant woman due to the increased trend of medication use during pregnancy. However, data on medication use in pregnancy are limited since pregnant women are rarely included in clinical trials. Our study aimed to investigate the trends of and characteristics associated with polypharmacy among pregnant women in the US. This study was conducted using data from The National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey in the US. Nine The National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey cycles between 1999 and 2016 were used to identify pregnant women aged 15 to 44 years...

BACKGROUND: Small airways play a major role in the pathogenesis and prognosis of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and asthma. More data on small airway dysfunction (SAD) using spirometry and impulse oscillometry (IOS) in these populations are required.

The field of asthma has undergone a dramatic change in recent years. Advances in our understanding of type 2 airway inflammation have driven the discovery of monoclonal antibodies targeting specific aspects of the immune pathway. In landmark trials, these drugs have shown efficacy in reducing asthma attacks and exposure to oral corticosteroids, important causes of morbidity in people with asthma. Our review explores the key features of type 2 inflammation in asthma and summarizes the clinical trial evidence of the novel monoclonal antibody treatments and future avenues for treatment...

BACKGROUND: Asthma is a highly prevalent disease, one of the chronic diseases with the highest economic costs; thus, it imposes a high economic burden on society, the healthcare system, patients, and third-party payers. Contrary to this study, until now, systematic reviews of economic evaluations (EEs) of treatments for severe asthma have not been exclusively focused on biological treatments, and have included a small number of studies and only model-based EEs. METHODS: This study systematically reviews EEs of biological therapies for severe asthma published until December 2022 using PRISMA guidelines...

The effects of nicotine and cigarette smoke in many diseases, notably COVID-19 infection, are being debated more frequently. The current basic data for COVID-19 is increasing and indicating the higher risk of COVID-19 infections in smokers due to the overexpression of corresponding host receptors to viral entry. However, current multi-national epidemiological reports indicate a lower incidence of COVID-19 disease in smokers. Current data indicates that smokers are more susceptible to some diseases and more protective of some other...
