What lessons are learned?
Hereditary angioedema (HAE) is a rare genetic disorder (1:50,000-100,000 in the United States) characterized by unpredictable and recurrent episodes of swelling without hives in different parts of the body.1 Generally, it is caused by a deficiency or a loss of function of C1 esterase inhibitor (C1 INH) because of a mutation in SERPING1.1 Moreover, HAE can lead to significant morbidity including death because of laryngeal swelling and asphyxia.1,2 There is a limited number of published case series.

What should be the outcome of biologic treatment in asthma: "remission on treatment" or "super-responder"
Recently, the definition of remission in asthma has started to be used and discussed frequently. Descriptions such as remission on-treatment, remission off-treatment, and criteria reflecting these concepts have been defined. However, since there are different opinions among experts on these remission criteria, different remission criteria have been defined. (Source: Annals of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology)

What lessons are learned? our changing practice during thirty years of hereditary angioedema treatment
Hereditary angioedema (HAE) is a rare genetic disorder (1:50,000 – 100,000 in the US) characterized by unpredictable and recurrent episodes of swelling without hives in different parts of the body1. Generally, it is caused by a deficiency or a loss of function of C1 esterase inhibitor (C1 INH) due to a mutation in SERPING11. HAE can lead to significant morbidit y including death due to laryngeal swelling and asphyxia1, 2. There is a limited number of published case series. We are here reporting some lessons learned from our 30-year experience with our HAE patient population. (Source: Annals of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology)

Establishment of fluorescence multi-flow cytometric immunoassay for the simultaneous quantitative detection of six allergen-sIgE antibodies
The in vitro specific IgE (sIgE) assays now commonly used in clinical laboratories are not only time-consuming and expensive, but also require a large number of serum samples. To address these limitations, a novel fluorescent microsphere-based multiplex flow cytometric immunoassay was developed. This innovative assay enables rapid and simultaneous quantitative detection of multiple allergen-sIgE antibodies. (Source: Annals of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology)

Lower paraspinal muscle density is associated with small airway dysfunction in women with persistent asthma
Patients with asthma exhibit lower paraspinal muscle density (PSMD) which is reflective of increased skeletal muscle adiposity. Moreover, in women with persistent asthma, lower PSMD is associated with longitudinal decline in spirometry.(1) Notably in the same study however, there were no differences in baseline spirometry values according to PSMD. Pointedly, high intramuscular fat infiltration is associated with greater systemic leptin, lower systemic adiponectin and increased expression of tumour necrosis factor alpha, all of which have been implicated in asthma.(2) This is of particular interest as the targeted managemen...

Proteomic and metabolomic proof of concept for unified airways in chronic rhinosinusitis and asthma
CONCLUSION: Proteomics and metabolomics reveal upper and lower airway unity. Asthma pathway-related proteins PRG2 and EPX from the upper airway could be used to assess the potential risk of lower airway dysfunction in CRSwNP.PMID:38382675 | DOI:10.1016/j.anai.2024.02.008 (Source: Annals of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology)
