Monitoring asthma in childhood: management-related issues
Management-related issues are an important aspect of monitoring asthma in children in clinical practice. This review summarises the literature on practical aspects of monitoring including adherence to treatment, inhalation technique, ongoing exposure to allergens and irritants, comorbid conditions and side-effects of treatment, as agreed by the European Respiratory Society Task Force on Monitoring Asthma in Childhood. The evidence indicates that it is important to discuss adherence to treatment in a non-confrontational way at every clinic visit, and take into account a patient's illness and medication beliefs. All task for...

The Canadian Healthy Infant Longitudinal Development (CHILD) Study: examining developmental origins of allergy and asthma
The Canadian Healthy Infant Longitudinal Development (CHILD) birth cohort study recruited 3624 pregnant women, most partners and 3542 eligible offspring. We hypothesise that early life physical and psychosocial environments, immunological, physiological, nutritional, hormonal and metabolic influences interact with genetics influencing allergic diseases, including asthma. Environmental and biological sampling, innate and adaptive immune responses, gene expression, DNA methylation, gut microbiome and nutrition studies complement repeated environmental and clinical assessments to age 5. This rich data set, linking prenatal an...

Identification of IgE reactive proteins from pollen of Lagerstroemia speciosaand spathodea campanulata -Two avenue trees of West Bengal
Objective: The aim of the study was to determine the concentration and seasonal periodicity of Lagerstromea speciosa(LS) and Spathodea campanulata pollen grains and attempted to identify the proteins released by the pollen that may responsible for immediate hypersensitivity reactions in allergic patients suffering from asthma, rhinitis, breathlessness etc.Methods: An aerobiological survey was conducted with Burkard volumetric air sampler for two consecutive year both in Kolkata and Santiniketan, West Bengal. The allergenic potential of the pollen extracts was evaluated in patients with respiratory allergy by SPT (in vivo),...

LATE-BREAKING ABSTRACT: Identification of a novel lung-resident eosinophil population with immunomodulatory properties in mice
Conclusion: We report on a previously unknown mouse lung-rEOS population which is distinct from lung iEOS and exhibit negative immunoregulatory roles according to experimental data from mouse models. We are now investigating the potential presence of such rEos in the human lung.

Hypersensitivity pneumonitis: Clinical spectrum and outcome
Conclusion: HP is recognised as an underdiagnosed condition and early recognition of the disease may help prevent continued antigen exposure to the patient which in turn may halt progression to irreversible fibrosis.

CCD contributes for cross-reactivity between food allergen and Bermuda and Timothy pollen allergen in Southern China
Conclusion: The most important pollen allergens in southern China are bermuda and timothy and plane tree pollen. In China most pollen allergy patients are multi-sensitized.This study clearly confirms that Cyn d 1 is the main component of bermuda.Phl p 4 was more likely to be identified in patients sensitized to timothy extract, and it correlated well with CCD and other pollen allergen and plant food allergen, which indicated there may be cross-reactivity between the pollen allergens and plant food allergens, for presenting the same antigen epitope with CCD.

Long-term efficacy of omalizumab (OMA) for patients with severe allergic asthma (SAA). Clinical assessment and relationship to serum IgE concentrations
Conclusion: OMA induces and maintains long-term remission in SAA over a period of at least 4 yrs. After the initial increase, serum IgE levels tend to decrease over time.

Comorbidity of allergic rhinitis and asthma to birch allergen in an environmental exposure chamber
Conclusion: This study suggests fewer birch allergic patients experience asthma symptoms and that seasonal allergies such as birch are associated with less asthma than observed in perennially allergic patients.

Tolerance of ultra-rush immunotherapy in children
Allergen immunotherapy is the only treatment that can treat the cause of the allergy. Rapid desensitization (or ultrarush) allow saving time. However, there are the same tolerance than classic immunotherapy ?We have made a prospective study in the department of pneumology in military hospital of Tunisia. We collected 46 children for a period of one year and falling comparing the safety of sublingual immunotherapy Ultra-Rush (n = 28) with the classical subcutaneous immunotherapy (n = 18).The mean age was 8.21 years ( 3-13 years). We had 32 (69%) male and 14 (30%) female. A family atopy was noted in 22 (47%). Active smoking ...

Barriers to adherence to asthma medication
Conclusion: Research on patient adherence has been limited by imprecise measurement tools to estimate inhaler use. Regular examination must be a priority even the patient is asymptomatic.

Should patients with mild asthma be excluded from allergic rhinitis drug trials?
Introduction: The comorbidity of allergic rhinitis (AR) and asthma has been recognized as an important consideration in successful asthma treatment and control. In the study of allergy treatments, often patients with allergic rhinitis with asthma are excluded from the study.Objectives: To examine whether patients with allergic rhinitis and asthma (ARA) respond differently than their AR alone counterparts to antihistamine treatment in a controlled natural allergen challenge of an EEC.Methods: 24 patients with positive SPT and history to house dust mite (HDM) were consented and studied to controlled HDM exposure in an EEC. 4...

LATE-BREAKING ABSTRACT: Protective effects of surfactant protein D (SP-D) treatment in 1,3-{beta}-glucan-modulated allergic inflammation
SP-D is a pulmonary collectin. SP-D-deficient mice (Sftpd-/-) are susceptible to ovalbumin (OVA)- and fungal allergen-induced pulmonary inflammation, while treatment with exogenous SP-D has therapeutic effects. Beta-glucans are a diverse group of polysaccharides suggested to be fungal ligands for SP-D. We investigated if SP-D could interact with 1,3-beta-glucan and attenuate allergic pulmonary inflammation in the presence of 1,3-beta-glucan.Allergic airway disease was induced by ovalbumin with and without 1,3-beta-glucan co-challenge and intranasal treatment with a recombinant fragment of human SP-D (rfhSP-D) in Sftpd-/- a...
