Bronchodilator reversibility testing in morbidly obese non-smokers: a comparative study– few concerns

BMC Pulmonary Medicine
This is a letter in response to an article by Ahmed et al., which concluded that in comparison to salbutamol, Fluticasone/salmeterol combination increases FEV1, FEV1% of predicted, and FEV1/FVC ratio, however it did not offer novel insights, as both ...

Is Asthma Remission a New Achievable Goal? A Review of the Current Drug‐Related Evidence and Predictors

Allergy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Advances in asthma therapies have shown that clinical remission may be an achievable therapeutic goal for patients with asthma. This review discusses the current definitions of remission in asthma, the predictors of remission, airway inflammation/epithelial damage in asthma remission, airway remodeling, paradigms in defining remission and ...

Effect of Dupilumab on Airway Inflammation in Patients With Persistent Asthma

Allergy, EarlyView.
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.

Diaphragm quantitative electromyography in difficult-to-treat asthmatic patients

Arquivos de Neuro-Psiquiatria
Quantitative electromyography is an important tool to evaluate myopathies, and some difficult-to-treat asthmatic patients may have a subclinical corticosteroid myopathic process, using only inhaled corticosteroid, according to some studies.

Serotonin Degradation and Lipid Metabolism Regulate Human Tc2 Cell Effector Functions

Allergy, EarlyView.
Human Tc2 cells exhibit a metabolically active phenotype characterized by enhanced glycolysis, mitochondrial respiration, and fatty acid uptake dependent on PPARγ. Alarmins strongly amplify IL‐5 and IL‐13 production in Tc2 cells, supporting a shared immunometabolic program across type 2 lymphocytes.

Remission in Global Airway Diseases: EUFOREA Consensus Paper

Allergy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The therapeutic goal in chronic airway diseases is shifting from symptom control to disease remission. Disease‐modifying therapies, including biologics and allergen immunotherapy, have made remission achievable in patients with severe asthma, chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP), or allergic rhinitis (AR).
