Usefulness of portable spirometry in addition to clinical asthma control score (C-ACT) in atopic children before performing an oral food challenge.
Conclusion: We found no systematic association between spirometry and C-ACT before performing OFC. These results imply that both tests may be additional in assessing asthma control. C-ACT may reflect control for the previous month, when spirometry is more informative on the control of asthma the day of OFC.

In Utero Exposure to Select Phenols and Phthalates and Respiratory Health in Five-Year-Old Boys: A Prospective Study
Conclusion: Ethyl-paraben, bisphenol A, 2,5-dichlorophenol, and DIDP tended to be associated with altered respiratory health, with ethyl-paraben and bisphenol A exhibiting some consistency across respiratory outcomes. The trends between bisphenol A pregnancy level and increased asthma and bronchiolitis/bronchitis rates in childhood were consistent with a previous cohort study. https://doi.org/10.1289/EHP1015 Received: 25 August 2016 Revised: 12 January 2017 Accepted: 26 January 2017 Published: 08 September 2017 Address correspondence to C.
