Attack, Flare-up or Exacerbation? The terminology preferences of patients with severe asthma
Background: People with severe asthma experience frequent life-threatening acute asthma events. A Lancet commission recently highlighted that terms ‘exacerbations’ and ‘flare-ups’ are seen to trivialise these episodes and recommended use of the term ...

EGF-induced bronchial epithelial cells drive neutrophil chemotactic and anti-apoptotic activity in asthma [PDF]
Chronic damage and repair of the bronchial epithelium are features of asthma. We have previously reported that ex vivo stimulation of normal bronchial epithelial cells with epidermal growth factor (EGF), a key factor of epithelial repair, enhances the ...

Update of the risk assessment on dioxins and dioxin‐like PCBs in feed and food
Abstract The European Commission asked EFSA to update its 2018 risk assessment on polychlorinated dibenzo‐p‐dioxins and dibenzofurans (PCDD/Fs) and dioxin‐like polychlorinated biphenyls (DL‐PCBs) in feed and food, based on the 2022 WHO Toxic Equivalency Factors (WHO2022‐TEFs).

Serum Vitamin D Level Is Unchanged in Equine Asthma
Vitamin D deficiency is associated with asthma development and severity of symptoms in humans, but whether the same occurs in horses is unknown. We aimed to determine whether the serum vitamin D levels differ in horses with asthma compared to control ...

Effects of hypersensitivity disorders and environmental factors on the equine intestinal microbiota
Background Recent evidence suggests that an altered intestinal microbiota, specifically a reduction of bacterial diversity or a shift in microbial composition, is associated with the development of hypersensitivity disorders in humans, but this is ...
