Outpatient Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease Management: Going for the GOLD
Publication date: July–August 2015 Source:The Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology: In Practice, Volume 3, Issue 4 Author(s): Christina R. Bellinger , Stephen P. Peters Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is the fourth leading cause of death in the United States with a burden of $50 billion in direct health care costs. The Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease (GOLD) defines airflow obstruction as spirometry where the ratio of forced expiratory volume in the first second to forced vital capacity after bronchodilation is less than 0.70. The guidelines also provided graded recommendations ...

The Effect of Viral Infection on Exhaled Nitric Oxide in Children with Acute Asthma Exacerbations
Conclusions Higher Feno concentration in PCR (−) exacerbations suggests an eosinophilic predominance in nonviral compared with viral exacerbations.

Albuterol Overuse: A Marker of Psychological Distress?
Conclusions Although overusers experienced more frequent symptom days and used more albuterol on those days, most overuse was attributable to unexpected use on symptom-free days. High levels of comorbid depression were observed, particularly among overusers and among those nonadherent to controller medication.

Are atopy and eosinophilic bronchial inflammation associated with relapsing forms of chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps?
Conclusion: In our pilot study, atopy, severe asthma, bronchial inflammation, NSAIDs hypersensitivity and high level of total IgE are possible useful prognostic factors for the proneness to relapse after FESS. The role of allergy in CRSwNP pathogenesis should consequently be given deeper consideration. Allergen specific immunotherapy, combined with anti-IgE therapy, may have an immunomodulatory effect preventing polyps relapse and need to be investigated.

Allergic manifestation 15 years after early intervention with hydrolyzed formulas – the GINI Study

Systematic Review on the Definition of Allergic Diseases in Children: The MeDALL Study
Conclusions: Studies reporting phenotypes of allergic diseases in children are highly heterogeneous and often lack objective phenotypical measures. A concerted effort to standardize methods and terminology is necessary.Int Arch Allergy Immunol 2015;168:110-121

Asthma Control and Airway Inflammation in Patients with Eosinophilic Granulomatosis with Polyangiitis
Conclusions Systemic treatment controls systemic involvement in EGPA, but not asthma and nasal diseases, which negatively affects patients' quality of life.

Lung Function at 8 and 16 Years After Moderate-to-Late Preterm Birth: A Prospective Cohort Study
CONCLUSIONS: Measures of airway function assessed in adolescence were reduced in children born moderate to late preterm, and no catch-up in lung function between ages 8 and 16 years was observed.

Allergic disease and Staphylococcus aureus carriage in adolescents in the Arctic region of Norway
ConclusionAsthma, eczema and AR are common among adolescents above the Arctic Circle in Norway. Allergic disease is associated with S. aureus carriage, but its role in the pathogenesis and severity is not established.This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.

Sleep-disordered breathing in children with asthma: a systematic review on the impact of treatment
Conclusion: The relationship between asthma and SDB appears to be bidirectional, and adenotonsillectomy appears to improve asthma control. Future trials on how asthma treatment could impact on SDB are needed. Keywords: obstructive sleep apnea, wheezing, children, Asthma, sleep-disordered breathing

Early bronchial basement membrane thickening does not predict lung function impairment in preschool age
In the last decades, many researchers have been focusing on early origins of asthma. Despite significant improvement in diagnostics and treatment of asthma even in the youngest age groups, we still lack information about the pathophysiological background in its earliest stages. In our recent work we found difference in the bronchial basement membrane (BM) thickness between young children at risk for developing asthma and age-matched controls with negative asthma predictive index (API) due to higher deposition of laminin, suggesting it being one of the first signs of bronchial remodelling in asthma (Berankova et al: Pediatr...

Fungal Sensitization Is Associated with Increased Risk of Life-Threatening Asthma
Conclusions Fungal sensitization is common in patients with asthma in an urban setting and is associated with greater sensitization to nonfungal allergens and increased risk of life-threatening asthma.

Exhaled nitric oxide's ability to predict methacholine challenge
I read with interest the article “Evaluation of Exhaled Nitric Oxide's Ability to Predict Methacholine Challenge in Adults With Nonobstructive Spirometry” by Nickels and Lim, recently published on Annals of Allergy, Asthma, and Immunology.1 Their study, which was retrospectively conducted and selected patients who performed fra ctional exhaled nitric oxide (FeNO) and methacholine bronchial challenge within 2 weeks of each other, found that FeNO had a nonbrilliant ability to predict the outcome of a methacholine challenge, despite patients with positive methacholine challenge result having signficantly higher levels of FeNO .

Depression and Asthma Outcomes in Older Adults: Results from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey
Conclusions Older adults with asthma and depression are nearly twice as likely to have poor asthma outcomes across several indicators, including asthma-related ED/urgent care visits compared with those without depression. Screening for depression and providing supportive resources may decrease the burden of asthma among older adults.
