Proof-of-Concept Biomarker-Based Scale Can Predict Asthma Attacks
The novel ORACLE scale (Oxford Asthma Attack Risk Scale) demonstrated potential to predict — and subsequently prevent — asthma attacks using biomarkers of type 2 airway inflammation.
General Pulmonology
Exacerbations Down in Asthma Patients on GLP-1R Agonists for T2D
Lower exacerbation counts, fewer health care encounters for asthma symptoms seen in asthma patients with T2D initiating GLP-1R agonists
Multispecialty Perspectives on Long COVID-19
Experts in infectious disease, pulmonology, cardiology, neurology, and psychiatry share their perspectives on the phenomenon that is long COVID-19.
Some Disease-Modifying Antirheumatic Drugs Raise Risk for Heart Failure
Researchers aimed to study the associations between heart failure medications and certain systemic autoimmune rheumatic diseases.
Case: Allergic Bronchopulmonary Aspergillosis in Patient With Asthma
The primary treatment goals of ABPA include controlling symptoms of asthma or cystic fibrosis, preventing and/or treating pulmonary exacerbation, decreasing pulmonary inflammation, and reducing the progression of pulmonary disease.
Spirometry Measurements Obtained at Home vs Clinic Evaluated
Spirometry measurements obtained at home had poor agreement with results obtained in the clinic.
High Levels of Fractional Exhaled Nitric Oxide Associated With Severe Asthma Exacerbations
Patients with severe asthma who had high levels of fractional exhaled nitric oxide (FeNO) were more likely to have asthma exacerbations than those with low levels.
Asthma, COPD Do Not Increase Mortality Risk in Patients With COVID-19
Asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) do not appear to increase the risk of mortality in patients with COVID-19.
Exploring Autoimmunity in Asthma: A Clinical Overview Plus Q&A
Although asthma and autoimmune disease are thought to have mutually exclusive pathogeneses, they both result from a dysregulated immune system.
Suboptimal Asthma Status May Be Linked to Less Physical Activity in Urban Children
Interventions designed to enhance physical activity in urban children with asthma need to address both the management of asthma and physical activity.
