Perspectives and experiences of mothers of school-age children with asthma: a qualitative study
CONCLUSIONS: In this sample,the caregiving experience of mothers of school-age children with asthma is diverse and complex, reflected not only in personal psychological aspects but also in family functioning and social support. Taking into account various factors, such as addressing psychological well-being, emphasizing family and social support, and promoting the sharing of positive experiences, may result in more effective alleviation of caregiving stress for mothers of school-age children with asthma.PMID:38009785 | DOI:10.1080/02770903.2023.2288322 (Source: Journal of Asthma)

Exploring the Relationship Between Asthma, Its Severity and Anxiety Symptoms in Pediatric Patients: A Case-Control Study
CONCLUSION: This study highlights a significant association between asthma and heightened anxiety symptoms in children, particularly in domains such as separation anxiety, social phobia, agoraphobia, and fears related to physical injury. However, limitations include reliance on self-evaluation questionnaires and the observational nature of the study, emphasizing the need for cautious interpretation.PMID:38009701 | DOI:10.1080/02770903.2023.2289158 (Source: Journal of Asthma)

Autophagy Related Gene 5 Polymorphism rs17587319 (C/G) in Asthmatic Patients in North Indian Population
In conclusion, rs17587319 (C/G) of ATG5 does not predispose individuals to asthma in our part of the world. Further studies are needed including more number of samples to ascertain the role of this polymorphism in asthma.PMID:38009708 | DOI:10.1080/02770903.2023.2289156 (Source: Journal of Asthma)

The utility of the Necessity-Concerns Framework (NCF) in explaining adherence and parental beliefs about controller medication in Saudi Arabian children with asthma
CONCLUSIONS: Medication adherence among parents of children with asthma was relatively low. In addition, necessity beliefs were significantly associated with parental adherence to controller medications for their children with asthma. Further studies are warranted to investigate potential factors contributing to poor parental adherence and develop tailored interventions that support parental medication adherence for their asthmatic children.PMID:37997759 | DOI:10.1080/02770903.2023.2288320 (Source: Journal of Asthma)

Beyond Forced Exhalation: Impulse Oscillometry as a Promising Tool for Bronchial Hyperresponsiveness Evaluation
J Asthma. 2023 Nov 24:1-11. doi: 10.1080/02770903.2023.2288316. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe multiple forced expiratory manoeuvres that must be performed during methacholine test require a high degree of collaboration and can lead to fatigue. However, impulse oscillometry (IOS) is a non-invasive test, quick and easy to perform, that does not require effort-dependent maneuvers. The primary endpoint was to evaluate the relationship between IOS and spirometry during the methacholine test. The secondary endpoint was to study the predictive value of baseline IOS in the development of bronchial hyperreactivity.Observational...
