Association between asthma self-management knowledge and asthma control in the elderly.
CONCLUSION: Knowledge of asthma was very low in elderly patients and usual asthma care was largely insufficient. These findings suggest that asthma education programs should be developed for older adults based on their education level and clinical asthma characteristics.

Forced oscillometry track sites of airway obstruction in bronchial asthma.
CONCLUSION: Forced oscillometry as an effortless test, conducted during quiet tidal breathing, and does not alter airway caliber; thus, it can detect normal airway function better than spirometry in patients with asthma. Forced oscillometry detects isolated small airway obstruction better than spirometry in bronchial asthma.

Usefulness of impulse oscillometry for the assessment of airway hyperresponsiveness in mild-to-moderate adult asthma.
CONCLUSION: The potential application of IOS in the assessment of airway hyperresponsiveness in adult asthma has been demonstrated. Further population studies are required.

Asthma-associated comorbidities in children with and without secondhand smoke exposure.
CONCLUSION: Children with asthma exposed to SHS are more likely to have comorbid conditions such as obesity, more severe asthma, and less health care usage than those not exposed to SHS. Smoking cessation interventions and addressing health disparities could be crucial in this vulnerable population.

Total specific airway resistance vs spirometry in asthma evaluation in children in a large real-life population.
CONCLUSION: These data support the recommendation of performing sRtot rather than spirometry in young children as a fairly sensitive marker of asthma.

Predictors of asthma exacerbation among patients with poorly controlled asthma despite inhaled corticosteroid treatment.
CONCLUSION: Spirometric measurements can help identify adults and children at increased risk for asthma exacerbation. Symptom scores could be helpful in identifying adults who are at high risk for exacerbations but could be less helpful in children.

Evaluation of exhaled nitric oxide's ability to predict methacholine challenge in adults with nonobstructive spirometry.
CONCLUSION: In this large, retrospective cohort of corticosteroid-naive pulmonary patients with normal FEV1 on baseline spirometry, exhaled nitric oxide poorly predicts the outcome of a methacholine challenge.

Clinical associations in the diagnosis of vocal cord dysfunction.
CONCLUSION: Clinical presentation of younger patients with SOB in conjunction with lack of objective criteria for an asthma diagnosis, poor response to asthma medications, or both is highly predictive of VCD and should prompt an objective stroboscopic evaluation to confirm the diagnosis.

Telemedicine is as effective as in-person visits for patients with asthma.
CONCLUSION: Children with asthma seen by telemedicine or in-person visits can achieve comparable degrees of asthma control. Telemedicine can be a viable alternative to traditional in-person physician-based care for the treatment and management of asthma.

Inhaled corticosteroid dose response in asthma: Should we measure inflammation?
CONCLUSION: ICS dose response may extend beyond low dose for inflammation and AHR but not symptoms or spirometry. Further study is required to identify whether this correlates with suboptimal longitudinal asthma control.

Periostin in Exhaled Breath Condensate and in Serum of Asthmatic Patients: Relationship to Upper and Lower Airway Disease.
CONCLUSIONS: EBC periostin levels seem to reflect intensity of upper airway disease in asthmatics, while serum levels of periostin are associated with asthma activity (exacerbations or FeNO) or NERD subphenotypes.

Is Performance of a Modified Eucapnic Voluntary Hyperpnea Test in High Ventilation Athletes Reproducible?
CONCLUSIONS: EVH in-test performance is reproducible however required less FiCO₂ than standard protocol and the swimmers under-ventilated by 125 and 139 L/min for days 1 and 2, respectively. How this affects EIB diagnosis remains to be determined; however, our results indicate a post-test FEV1 fall of ≥20% may be recommended as the most consistent diagnostic criterion.

Biomarkers of oxidative stress and antioxidants in severe asthma: A Prospective Case-Control Study.
CONCLUSION: FeNO but not EBC-NOx is increased significantly with asthma severity with no evidence of vitamins or trace elements deficiency in severe asthma. Impaired oxidative stress defenses in severe asthma may be driven by factors other than vitamins or trace elements deficiency.
