Influence of Sensitization Patterns on Fractional Exhaled Nitric Oxide in Asthmatic Children.
Abstract Fractional exhaled nitric oxide (FeNO) has been suggested as a non-invasive biomarker of airway inflammation, which is increased in atopic subjects. Whether sensitization to particular allergens is a predictive factor for increased FeNO levels is not yet fully understood. We conducted a retrospective cross-sectional study. From October to December in 2015, the medical documents of 127 mild, steroid-naive asthmatic children and 34 healthy age-matched children were enrolled in this study. The results of the FeNO measurements, skin prick test, and the spirometry were collected for analysis. Sensitization pat...

Association of neck circumference and pulmonary function in children.
CONCLUSION: We identified NC as a novel anthropometric index that is strongly correlated with respiratory functions in children. Therefore, close monitoring of respiratory symptoms, particularly in children with obesity and a large NC, could help with early and prompt determination of respiratory complications of obesity.

Duration and exclusiveness of breastfeeding and school-age lung function and asthma.
CONCLUSION: Shorter duration and nonexclusivity of breastfeeding were associated with a lower FEV1 and FVC but not asthma at school-age. PMID: 28554704 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

The case for impulse oscillometry in the management of asthma in children and adults.
CONCLUSION: The findings of this review suggest that IOS can add value to traditional clinical and spirometric assessment and thus improve management of asthma in children and adults, as well as have the potential to detect early dysfunction of the peripheral airways, which may result in better outcomes.

Association of prenatal and early childhood stress with reduced lung function in 7-year-olds.
CONCLUSION: These are the first prospective data that link perinatal stress with reduced child lung function. High levels of stress in the prenatal and postnatal periods were associated with symmetric reductions in FEV1 and FVC consistent with impaired lung growth. Given that lung function growth patterns are established by 7 years of age, these findings have lifelong implications. PMID: 28668548 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Association Between Sensitization to Mold and Impaired Pulmonary Function in Children With Asthma.
CONCLUSIONS: We observed a differential association between mold and other aeroallergen sensitization, and severity of asthma. Sensitization to mold is associated with lower lung function and increased airway hyper-responsiveness in children with asthma. Mold sensitization could be an important factor determining asthma severity particularly airflow limitation in children. PMID: 28913990 [PubMed]

Persistent impairment on spirometry in chronic eosinophilic pneumonia: a longitudinal observation study (Shizuoka-CEP study).
CONCLUSION: Persistent impairment of pulmonary function is common in CEP. Concurrent asthma and obstructive defects at diagnosis were predictors for persistent obstructive impairments, whereas reticulation at high-resolution computer tomography and restrictive defect at diagnosis predicted persistent restrictive impairment. Attention should be paid to these persistent impairments in the management of CEP. PMID: 28942952 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Respiratory Function and Symptoms Post Cold Air Exercise in Female High and Low Ventilation Sport Athletes.
CONCLUSIONS: These results indicate that intense exercise at cold air temperatures up to -20°C is achievable; however, greater effort along with transient acute bronchoconstriction and symptoms of cough after exercising in temperatures colder than -15°C are likely. It is recommended that individuals cover their mouth and reduce exercise intensity to ameliorate the effects of cold weather exercise. PMID: 29178677 [PubMed]

Measurement of fractional exhaled nitric oxide in real-world clinical practice alters asthma treatment decisions.
CONCLUSION: Measurement of FeNO enabled clinicians to assess underlying airway inflammation leading to a significant revision of their treatment plans compared to real-world clinical assessment of asthma alone. PMID: 29408317 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Abnormal lung function at preschool age - asthma in adolescence?
CONCLUSION: Abnormal preschool IOS is associated with asthma and poor lung function in adolescence and might be utilised for identification of asthma persistence. PMID: 29522812 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

The impact of patient autonomy on older adults with asthma.
CONCLUSION: Older asthmatic adults with a greater desire for involvement in decision making have a higher asthma related quality of life. Future studies with the intention to increase patient autonomy may help establish a causal relationship. PMID: 29730013 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Comparison of Fractional Exhaled Nitric Oxide in Elderly Patients with Asthma-chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease Overlap and Other Airway Inflammatory Diseases.
This study aimed to investigate the differences in FeNO levels of elderly patients with ACO, asthma, COPD, and chronic cough. We conducted a retrospective study analysing the data of stable outpatients from Pulmonary Department of the Second Clinical College, Jinan University. All participants (Age≥55 years) were divided into the ACO group (n=19), asthma group (n=16), COPD group (n=25), and chronic cough group (n=22). The clinical data such as peripheral eosinophil counts, serum high sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), FeNO, and spirometry was collected, and the correlations between FeNO levels and systemic markers ...

Small airway function in children with mild-to-moderate asthmatic symptoms and healthy controls.
CONCLUSION: Subtle changes were observed in the proposed small airway indices of IOS, spirometry, and exhaled NO among children with mild-tomoderate recurrent wheezing. Small airway dysfunction, expressed as ventilation inhomogeneity indices and CALV, was also associated with asthma exacerbations and EIB. PMID: 30059790 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Impact of community respiratory viral infections in urban children with asthma.
CONCLUSION: Urban asthmatic children with high-symptom respiratory viral infections have reduced FEF25-75 and more elevations of nasal biomarkers than children with mild or asymptomatic infections, or virus-negative illnesses. PMID: 30385348 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Biomarkers for Recurrent Wheezing and Asthma in Preschool Children.
Authors: Lee YJ, Fujisawa T, Kim CK Abstract Wheezing is one of the characteristic symptoms of asthma, but all preschool children with wheezing are not diagnosed with asthma. Preschool children are not cooperative enough to participate in spirometry and invasive tests. Thus, there is no conventional method to diagnose asthma in preschool children. We reviewed studies on non-invasive biomarkers for assessing asthma in preschool children. Specimens that can be easily obtained by non-invasive methods are blood, exhaled breath and urine. Eosinophils, eosinophil cationic protein and eosinophil-derived neurotoxin (EDN) i...
