Spirometry in fuel station attendants : a comparative study [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Exposure to volatile fuel compounds and roadway motor vehicle exhaust leads to increased risk of chronic lung disease and carcinogenesis. Tobacco smoking further accelerates this process. Spirometry is an objective way of assessing lung function. The aim

Decreased Severity of Oral Immunotherapy Induced Gastrointestinal Eosinophilic Reactions Following Revisions in Milk‐Treatment Protocol

open access: yesAllergy, EarlyView.
A revised milk OIT protocol with lower daily allergen load and slower dose escalation reduced the severity and delayed onset of OIT‐induced gastrointestinal eosinophilic reactions (OITIGER). Elevated baseline absolute eosinophil count (AEC > 600/μL) was a consistent independent risk factor for OITIGER, while older age was protective.

Proteomic and Transcriptomic Signatures of Poor Asthma Symptom Control in the U‐BIOPRED Cohort

open access: yesAllergy, EarlyView.
No stable features were identified as associated with asthma symptom control in transcriptomics or sputum proteomics. Higher TWEAKR/TNFRSF12A and MBL/MBP‐C serum levels increased the odds of uncontrolled symptoms, while higher MK08/MAPK8 and CD5L serum levels decreased the odds, after adjustment for clinical variables.

Early Risk Assessment and Recognition of Allergies in Children: Rationale, Methodology, and Proposed Algorithms

open access: yesAllergy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Atopic diseases—including atopic dermatitis (AD), food allergy (FA), allergic rhinitis (AR), and asthma—are the most common chronic conditions in childhood and adolescence, affecting up to 30% of the global population. In Germany alone, more than 2.1 million children and adolescents are affected.

Small Airways Dysfunction and Remission in Adults With Asthma: A Longitudinal Exploratory Analysis of the AssessmenT of smalL Airways involvemeNT In aSthma (ATLANTIS) Study

open access: yesAllergy, EarlyView.
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 ...

Basic spirometry testing and interpretation for the primary care provider

open access: yesCanadian Journal of Respiratory Therapy, 2018
Spirometry testing plays an important role in the diagnosis and management of COPD and asthma in the primary care setting. Verifying the accuracy of the spirometer, using accurate patient demographics and appropriate reference equations, and ensuring the

Nasal Airway Transcriptome Reflects Selected Asthma‐Associated Gene Signatures in the Lower Airways

open access: yesAllergy, 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

Evaluating the extremely elderly at a pulmonary function clinic for the diagnosis of respiratory disease: frequency and technical quality of spirometry

open access: yesJornal Brasileiro de Pneumologia
Objective: To determine the frequency of spirometry in elderly people, by age group, at a pulmonary function clinic, to assess the quality of spirometry in the extremely elderly, and to determine whether chronological age influences the quality of ...
