The Role of FENO in Comparison to Spirometry and ACT in Control of Children Asthma Symptoms.
Abstract Fractional exhaled nitric oxide (FeNO) is a noninvasive marker of inflammation, used for monitoring asthma. The aim of this study was to compare FeNO, asthma control test (ACT), and lung function test (spirometry) in children aged 8-15 years. This observational, cross-sectional study was performed on76 asthmatic children (age, 8-15 years), who were referred to the Department of Immunology and Allergy, Children's Medical Center, Tehran, Iran during 2012-2013. Patients were matched for sex and age. The recruited patients were selected via consecutive sampling. FeNO was measured with a portable electrochemic...

Application of Impulse Oscillometry in Adult Asthmatic Patients With Preserved Lung Function.
CONCLUSIONS: AX is associated with adult asthma with preserved lung function. Performing spirometry together with IOS is more beneficial than performing spirometry alone for diagnosing asthma in adult patients with preserved lung function. PMID: 32638563 [PubMed]

Sensitivity of impulse oscillometry and spirometry in beta-blocker induced bronchoconstriction and beta-agonist bronchodilatation in asthma.
CONCLUSION: IOS is a more sensitive response outcome than spirometry with respect to bronchoconstriction to oral propranolol and bronchodilatation after salbutamol in patients with mild to moderate asthma. PMID: 23176879 [PubMed - in process]

The effects of particle size on measurement of airway hyperresponsiveness to methacholine.
CONCLUSION: Our results reveal a variability in methacholine PC20 using 3 different nebulizers, despite adjusting the nebulizers' outputs. Our results are consistent with the previous reports, which recommended using larger particle size nebulizers in the assessment of airway hyperresponsiveness in asthma.

17q12-21 and asthma: interactions with early-life environmental exposures.
CONCLUSION: Our results indicate that several genes in the 17q12-21 region may be associated with asthma. This study confirms that environmental exposures may need to be included into the genetic association studies. PMID: 23622005 [PubMed - in process]

Targeting the small airways asthma phenotype: if we can reach it, should we treat it?
CONCLUSION: From a pragmatic perspective, it makes sense to try to deliver asthma treatment to more of the lung to improve clinical outcomes, especially in patients who exhibit the small airways asthma phenotype. PMID: 23535085 [PubMed - in process]

Genetic predictors of inflammation in the risk of occupational asthma in young apprentices.
CONCLUSION: We evidenced a predicting influence of IL13/IL4RA and TNFA in the early exposure to allergens and irritants that precedes occupational asthma. The significance of the associations in the absence of atopy suggests an influence of the genetics predictors related to inflammatory pathways. PMID: 23706710 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Alternative ways of expressing forced expiratory volume in the first second and long-term mortality in elderly patients with asthma.
CONCLUSION: Although extensively used, FEV1 expressed as percentage of predicted does not seem to be the best predictor of mortality in elderly patients with asthma. Although no spirometric index can predict 5-year mortality in this population, FEV1 as a multiple of the sex-specific first percentile should be considered when longer-term prognostic stratification is needed.

Diagnosis and frequency of work-exacerbated asthma among bakers.
CONCLUSION: Work-exacerbated asthma was diagnosed in 16% of bakers who reported allergic respiratory symptoms. The specific challenge test for occupational allergens should be performed in bakers with suspected work-related asthma, because an assessment of sensitization (SPT to occupational allergens, evaluation of specific IgE) is not specific enough to differentiate OA from WEA.

Increased body mass index and bronchial impairment in allergic rhinitis.
CONCLUSIONS: The present study may suggest that BMI assessment should be routinely considered in AR patients for assessing risk for early bronchial impairment, such as suggesting possible evolution to asthma. PMID: 24274214 [PubMed - in process]

Gastroesophagial reflux disease and asthma in pregnant women with dyspnea.
In conclusion, the prevalence of GERD was quite high in pregnant women, irrespective of the fact that they were asthmatic or non-asthmatic. Further studies evaluating women throughout pregnancy will inform us more about this relationship. PMID: 24338255 [PubMed - in process]

Heliox-driven β2-agonists nebulization for children and adults with acute asthma: a systematic review with meta-analysis.
CONCLUSION: This review suggests that heliox benefits in airflow limitation and hospital admissions could be considered clinically significant. Data support the use of heliox as a nebulizing β2-agonist driving gas in the routine care of patients with acute asthma. PMID: 24331390 [PubMed - in process]

Asthma and depression: the Cooper Center Longitudinal Study.
CONCLUSION: Asthma was associated with increased prevalence of current depressive symptoms and lifetime depression in a large sample of relatively healthy adults. These findings suggest that the increased likelihood of depression among patients with asthma does not appear to be exclusively related to severe or poorly controlled asthma. People with asthma, regardless of severity, may benefit from depression screening in clinical settings. PMID: 24650441 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Objective approach for fending off the sublingual immunotherapy placebo effect in subjects with pollenosis: double-blinded, placebo-controlled trial.
CONCLUSION: These results suggest that the efficacy of grass pollen sublingual immunotherapy can be assessed by EBT, a putative quantitative measurement of airway inflammation, which is superior in its power to discriminate between active and placebo treatment than a subjective assessment of symptoms assessed on a visual analog scale.
