Wildfires and Atopic Diseases: A Review
Allergy, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Wildfire smoke is a major environmental health threat that has increased in frequency and severity in recent years. A hazardous component of wildfire smoke is particulate matter ≤ 2.5 μm (PM2.5). There is evidence to suggest that exposure to wildfire PM2.5 may increase the risk of developing or exacerbating atopic diseases, such as asthma ...

Cluster Analysis to Identify Distinct Asthma Phenotypes in the ATLANTIS Cohort
Allergy, EarlyView.This study identified four clinically distinct asthma clusters. The most severe cluster was characterized by type 2 inflammation and exhibited both large and small airways obstruction, as well as air trapping on CT. Patients in the earlier‐onset cluster exhibited more severe bronchial hyperresponsiveness despite a relatively preserved lung function ...
