Auditor industry expertise and the predictive power of the deferred tax valuation allowance
Abstract This paper investigates whether auditor industry expertise influences the predictive value of management earnings forecasts embedded in the deferred tax asset valuation allowance (VA). VAs depend on management's forecast of future taxable earnings and can provide investors with information about expected changes in future earnings.

We conducted a post hoc analysis of ATLANTIS, a multinational prospective study including 684 adults with asthma. Fewer small airway symptoms and lower disease activity are independently associated with asthma remission. Replicated airway transcriptomic signatures show increased IL‐4/13 signalling and reduced coagulation pathways across the ATLANTIS ...

Adipokine secretion from adipose tissue may be involved in obesity‐related asthma, but it is unknown how adipokine levels relate to asthma characteristics. Plasma adipokines were measured in well‐characterized lean, overweight or obese patients with mild‐to‐moderate or severe asthma.

Vog: Using Volcanic Eruptions to Estimate the Health Costs of Particulates
The negative consequences of long‐term exposure to particulate pollution are well established but a number of studies find no effect of short‐term exposure on health outcomes. The high correlation of industrial pollutants complicates the estimation of the impact of individual pollutants on health.

This study investigates the role of ER stress in steroid resistance in severe asthma. Results from advanced 3D models of human bronchial epithelial cells, steroid‐resistant severe asthma mouse models, and human severe asthma sputum samples show that treatment with ICS in combination with the ER stress inhibitor 4‐PBA significantly enhances steroid ...

The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of waste management exposure on % FEV/FVC, peak expiratory flow rate (PEFR) and forced vital capacity (FVC). Fifty (50) waste management workers were recruited for this study. The study combines prospective cross-sectional health status and lung function assessment of waste management workers ...

Effect of Dupilumab on Airway Inflammation in Patients With Persistent Asthma
EXPEDITION (NCT02573233) assessed the effects of dupilumab on airway inflammation in patients with persistent asthma using bronchoscopy and gene expression analysis. Dupilumab showed no appreciable effect on inflammatory cell types in biopsies or BALF samples.

We aimed to characterise Alternaria sensitisation trajectories from childhood to adulthood; we compared SPT, whole‐extract sIgE and rAlt a 1, and assessed their longitudinal association with asthma and rhinitis in the Isle of Wight birth cohort. Alternaria sensitisation in the Isle of Wight Birth Cohort emerges mainly in late adolescence and, when ...
