Allergy, EarlyView.Exhaled decane and nonadecane discriminate allergic (AR + LAR) from non‐allergic (NAR + HC) subjects among individuals with chronic rhinitis. LAR patients display higher levels of exhaled nonadecane than NAR individuals at baseline. Subjects with FeNO≥ 25 ppb have higher levels of exhaled decane, nonanal, and styrene than individuals with FeNO < 25 ppb

Nasal Airway Transcriptome Reflects Selected Asthma‐Associated Gene Signatures in the Lower Airways
Allergy, EarlyView.Seven genes and two gene modules were consistently associated with asthma in both airway compartments in ARMS and were validated in ATLANTIS. The two modules reflected IL‐13 related inflammation and mast cell activity, respectively. Nasal gene signatures provide a non‐invasive proxy for selected bronchial asthma‐associated gene signatures. ARMS, Asthma

Level of Eosinophil Cationic Protein in Sputum of Chemical Warfare Victims [PDF]
Objective(s) Considering fair response to inhaled corticosteroids and reports of severe air way hyper responsiveness in chemical warfare victims (CWV), a role for eosinophilic inflammation (i.e. asthma) was postulated.

Allergy, EarlyView.IL‐33 induces inflammatory gene signatures in eosinophils, characterised by the upregulation of cell surface markers, inflammatory mediators and regulatory factors, all of which were also observed in nasal polyp‐derived eosinophils. Ox‐LDL and complement fragments (C3a and C5a) promote eosinophil adhesion and survival.

Lung India, 2013 Context: Currently treatment decisions in asthma are governed by clinical assessment and spirometry. Sputum eosinophil, being a marker of airway inflammation, can serve as a tool for assessing severity and response to treatment in asthma patients.

Identification of a novel regulatory mechanism for the disease associated protein, uPAR [PDF]
, 2014 Expression quantitative trait loci (eQTLs), as determined through a series of statistical association studies collectively known as genome-wide association (GWA) studies, have provided us with a hypothesis free approach for the investigation into ...

Allergy, EarlyView.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.

Induced sputum in childhood asthma.
Hong Kong medical journal = Xianggang yi xue za zhi, 2006 Asthma is characterised by variable degrees of airway obstruction, airway hyper-responsiveness, and chronic airway inflammation. Current guidelines emphasise that inhaled corticosteroid treatment is the mainstay of asthma therapy because it targets the underlying airway inflammation.

Allergy, EarlyView.This meta‐analysis included 2292 patients with severe asthma who underwent biologic switching across 23 countries/regions. The most prevalent switching pattern was from mepolizumab to benralizumab, with suboptimal asthma control being the primary reason.
