Analysis of the Association Among Air Pollutants, Allergenic Pollen, and Respiratory Virus Infection of Children in Guri, Korea During Recent 5 Years
CONCLUSIONS: Seasonal co-exposure to air pollutants and allergenic pollens may enhance respiratory viral infection susceptibility in children. Therefore, reducing the concentrations of air pollutants and pollens may help prevent future epidemics.PMID:35557494 | PMC:PMC9110915 | DOI:10.4168/aair.2022.14.3.289

The Editors ’ Choice
Epidemic thunderstorm asthma (TA) can have catastrophic effects. While reported world-wide, the most severe event ever recorded was in Melbourne, Australia, in 2016, resulting in over 3400 excess emergency asthma presentations and 10 deaths. Established risk factors for thunderstorm asthma are seasonal allergic rhinitis (hay fever) with specific allergy to ryegrass pollen. However, seasonal allergic rhinitis affects over 20% of people in Melbourne, so this information does not enable targeting of preventive strategies.

Prefusion Coronavirus Spike Proteins and Their Use
Coronaviruses (CoVs) can cause severe respiratory disease with high fatality rates in humans. The 2002-2003 SARS-CoV epidemic resulted in 8098 cases and 744 deaths, and MERS-CoV, which emerged in 2012, has resulted in 2144 cases and over 750 deaths as of March 2018. Currently, there are no effective prophylactic or therapeutic measures, and because other CoVs are poised to emerge as new human pathogens, there is a need to define a general CoV vaccine solution. Past efforts to develop CoV vaccines have used whole-inactivated virus, live-attenuated virus, recombinant protein subunit, or genetic approaches.CoV spike (S) prote...

How E-cigarettes and vaping can affect asthma in children and adolescents
Purpose of review Electronic nicotine delivery systems such as e-cigarettes are commonly felt to be harmless devices when compared to traditional cigarettes. However, an increasing number of studies support the biological plausibility for the potential detrimental effects of vaping on the respiratory mucosa. To date, few human studies have been carried out on adult vapers showing a reduction in lung function testing, especially in those with asthma, whereas the effects of vaping on children and adolescents have not been elucidated so far. Recent findings Several cross-sectional, national, population-based studie...
