3D Magnetic Resonance Spirometry
Scientific Reports, 2020 Spirometry is today the gold standard technique for assessing pulmonary ventilatory function in humans. From the shape of a flow-volume loop measured while the patient is performing forced respiratory cycles, the Forced Vital Capacity (FVC) and the ...

Allergy, EarlyView.In this two‐phase study, school‐aged children were classified as at risk or no‐risk based on severe attacks during one‐year follow‐up. Four types of prediction models were developed. Salivary bacteria and serum inflammatory markers, while informative alone, complement past asthma attacks in predicting future attack risk.

Quality of Spirometry Tests in Periodic Examination of Workers
International Journal of Occupational Hygiene, 2018 Spirometry is a tool for screening and early diagnosis of harms caused by occupational respiratory exposures. Since spirometry results largely depend on the spirometry method, their credibility and acceptability may vary.

Natural History of Airway Hyperresponsiveness and Its Association With Asthma Traits
Allergy, EarlyView.AHR improves in most children over adolescence when its relationship with asthma changes. AHR is better at ruling out asthma in children, while it is superior at ruling in asthma in young adults. Age should be considered when interpreting AHR, and different cutoffs might be required for children and adults.

Allergy, EarlyView.In the LEAD cohort, micro‐arrayed asthma allergens identified IgE‐sensitized adult asthma patients. Compared to non‐IgE‐sensitized patients, they had better lung function, took less ICS and had lower eosinophils. IgE‐sensitized patients were sensitized to a handful of respiratory allergen sources and may benefit from allergen‐specific forms of ...

Home self-monitoring in patients with asthma using a mobile spirometry system
Journal of Asthma, 2019 Background Self-management is an appealing strategy for prevention of asthma exacerbations. This study aimed to evaluate the feasibility and safety of a portable spirometer for unsupervised home spirometry measurements among patients with asthma. Methods

The Impact of War on Asthma, a Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis: An EAACI Task Force Report
Allergy, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Wartime events have been followed by an increase in asthma prevalence, which is believed to result from a combination of environmental hazards and psychological trauma. This systematic review and meta‐analysis aimed to investigate this relationship by pooling available data on various wartime exposures, such as occupational, environmental, and
