Prevalence and Spirometric Transitions of PRISm and Obstruction: A Population‐Based Study
Respirology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background and Objective This study aims to assess the prevalence and longitudinal transitions of spirometric patterns defined by the lower limit of normal (LLN) criteria: normal airflow (FEV1/FVC≥LLN, FEV1 ≥ LLN); preserved ratio impaired spirometry (PRISm; FEV1/FVC≥LLN, FEV1 < LLN); or obstruction (FEV1/FVC

Role for Complement C5 in Eosinophilic Inflammation of Severe Asthma
Allergy, EarlyView.Complement activation module, particularly C5, is positively associated with eosinophilic inflammation in severe asthma cohorts. Elevated C5 expression correlates with poor lung function improvement and persistent eosinophilic inflammation. Mouse model studies confirm that C5 exacerbates eosinophilic inflammation, highlighting its potential as a ...
