Tips for Seeing Patients via Telemedicine
AbstractPurpose of ReviewTelemedicine is a technology that permits patients to be seen at a distance. This review describes different types of telemedicine, why they might be useful for a practice, what equipment is needed, and how to select and schedule patients.Recent FindingsThe use of synchronous telemedicine is increasing rapidly and has surpassed 50% of ambulatory encounters in some instances. Management of patients is particularly germane for an allergy practice since it is an outpatient specialty with patients who live in widely distributed locations with limited access to allergists. With utilization of digital ex...

Diagnosis and management of asthma, COPD and asthma ‐COPD overlap among primary care physicians and respiratory/allergy specialists: a global survey
ConclusionWhile most PCPs and respiratory/allergy specialists can reach a working diagnosis of ACO, there remains uncertainty around which diagnostic features are most important and what constitutes optimal management. It is imperative that clinical studies including patients with ACO are initiated, allowing the generation of evidence ‐based management strategies.This article is protected by copyright.

Allergy and Lung Injury Among Rescue Workers Exposed to the World Trade Center Disaster Assessed 17 Years After Exposure to Ground Zero
Conclusion: Following exposure to the WTC disaster, the patients in our cohort developed allergic hypersensitivity and severe lung injury with only partial reversibility.

Predictors of Airway Hyperresponsiveness in Symptomatic Children with Normal Spirometry and Suspicious of Possible Asthma
Conclusion: In children suspected of having asthma, but without an obstructive pattern in the spirometry, combining independent predictors, which can be easily obtained in clinical practice, might be used to identify children with AHR.Int Arch Allergy Immunol

Factors associated with middle-aged adult obstructive lung function deficits in the grass pollen season
Conclusion: Middle-aged adults with allergic disease or TRAP exposure may be more susceptible to obstructive lung function deficits during the grass pollen season. Genetics may also play a role, but further research on this is required.

The natural course of sensitization and allergic diseases from childhood to adulthood
ConclusionThe results support the concept of the allergic march. Allergic diseases are not only occurring in childhood but persist into adulthood.

Chronic rhinosinusitis in asthma is a negative predictor of quality of life: results from the Swedish GA2LEN survey
ConclusionsComorbid CRS was a significant and independent negative predictor of quality of life in asthmatics. Other negative factors were lower lung function, current smoking, obesity, advanced age, and having nonatopic asthma.

Prevalence and risk factors for allergic rhinitis in two resource‐limited settings in Peru with disparate degrees of urbanization
Conclusion and Clinical RelevanceAllergic rhinitis was prevalent in both settings and important risk factors include elevated exhaled nitric oxide, allergic sensitization to common household aeroallergens, parental rhinitis, being overweight and high total serum IgE. When considering subject‐specific factors, the difference in prevalence between the urban and rural settings became non‐important.This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.

Age Is Not Associated with Hospital Admission or Uncontrolled Symptoms of Asthma if Proper Treatment Is Offered
Conclusion: This study allows us to conclude that older age is associated with a later onset of asthma and a longer duration of symptoms. Age does not predict hospital admissions or poor control of asthma symptoms if proper treatment is offered. It does, however, predict worse lung function.Int Arch Allergy Immunol 2014;165:61-67

Diagnosing Exercise-Induced Bronchoconstriction With Eucapnic Voluntary Hyperpnea: Is One Test Enough?
Conclusions In a cohort of recreational athletes, EVH demonstrated poor clinical reproducibility for the diagnosis of EIB. These findings highlight a need for caution when confirming or refuting EIB on the basis of a single indirect bronchoprovocation challenge. When encountering patients with mild or borderline EIB, we recommend that more than one EVH test is performed to exclude or confirm a diagnosis.

The IgE response to Ascaris molecular components is associated with clinical indicators of asthma severity
Conclusions In this tropical population, IgE sensitization to Ascaris and the cross-reactive tropomyosins was frequent and associated with clinical indicators of asthma severity. The significant relationship between sensitization to the nematode-specific marker Asc s 1 and ER attendance supports these findings. Moreover, ascariasis increases the human IgE responses to HDM specific allergens.

Exhaled Nitric Oxide and Airway Hyperresponsiveness to Adenosine 5′-monophosphate and Methacholine in Children with Asthma
We examined whether FeNO is more closely related to AHR to indirect stimuli than AHR to direct stimuli in children with mild to moderate asthma. Methods: Fifty-nine asthmatic children aged 6-16 years without rhinitis, underwent spirometry, FeNO measurement and blood tests for serum total IgE, blood eosinophil count and serum eosinophil cationic protein (ECP). All subjects underwent methacholine and adenosine 5-monophosphate (AMP) challenge tests at intervals of 3 days. Results: In a univariate linear regression analysis, FeNO was significantly associated with both PC20 AMP (R2 = 0.341, p
