Global, regional, and national trends in incidence of asthma: findings from the Global Burden of Disease Study 2019
Conclusions: Despite a decreasing trend of ASR on a global scale, we observed a remarkable increase in new asthma cases in countries and regions with low SDI. Our findings emphazise the need for geographically specific allocation of healthcare resources to forestall the increasing burden of asthma. (Source: European Respiratory Journal)

Altered sphingolipid metabolism in childhood asthma and obesity
Conclusion: The decreased levels of sphingolipids in obese-asthmatics and elevated levels of sphingolipids in lean-asthmatics shows that altered metabolism is dependent not only on the presence of asthma but also on overweight and obesity. (Source: European Respiratory Journal)
