Asthma and asthma-like disorders

Respiratory Medicine, 1999
Bronchial asthma is defined as a chronic inflammatory disease resulting in a reversible and variable bronchial obstruction. For the clinical diagnosis of the disease there are some key indicators but as there is no 'gold standard' a correct diagnosis will sometimes not be obtained.

Safety Evaluation of Repeated Application of Polymeric Microarray Patches in Miniature Pigs

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
This study demonstrates the safety of repeated application of three types of microarray patches (MAPs), hydrogelforming, dissolving, and implantable, over four weeks in miniature pigs. No adverse skin or systemic effects were observed, supporting the clinical potential of MAPs as safe and effective drug delivery platforms.

Distinguishing Asthma Phenotypes Using Machine Learning Approaches. [PDF]

, 2015
Asthma is not a single disease, but an umbrella term for a number of distinct diseases, each of which are caused by a distinct underlying pathophysiological mechanism. These discrete disease entities are often labelled as asthma endotypes.
