Advances and recent developments in asthma in 2020
Abstract. In this review, we discuss recent publications on asthma and review the studies that have reported on the different aspects of the prevalence, risk factors and prevention, mechanisms, diagnosis, and treatment of asthma. Many risk and protective factors and molecular mechanisms are involved in the development of asthma.
Asthma
Asthma is one of the most common chronic non-communicable diseases worldwide and is characterised by variable airflow obstruction, causing dyspnoea and wheezing. Highly effective therapies are available; asthma morbidity and mortality have vastly improved in the past 15 years, and most patients can attain good asthma control. However, undertreatment is still common, and improving patient and ...

Asthma: A Case Study, Review of Pathophysiology, and Management
To review the pathophysiology of asthma, present a case study, and provide management strategies for treating this common, yet complex disorder in children and adults. Data Sources. Selected clinical guidelines, clinical articles, and research studies. Conclusions.
Assessment and management of adults with asthma during the ...
Regular use of inhaled steroids reduces severe exacerbations of asthma 23 and the need for bronchodilators, 24 while the prompt use of systemic corticosteroids during an exacerbation reduces the need for hospital admissions, use of β agonists, 25 and relapses. 26. The evidence for corticosteroid use in early covid-19 is still emerging.

Asthma Studies
Preventing Asthma in High Risk Kids (PARK) (NCT02570984) This clinical trial is designed to test whether a treatment aimed at blocking IgE (ant-IgE or omalizumab) can prevent the progression to childhood asthma in high risk 2 to 4-year-old children. IgE is critical in the development of allergic diseases and asthma.

Case 1: A 12-year-old girl with food allergies and an acute asthma
In recent years, it has gained increasing notoriety in schools and in the media. Population-based studies have shown that 20% to 35% of children with allergies experience bullying. In many cases (31% in one recent study ), this bullying is related directly to the food allergy. From a medical perspective, there are little published data ...

Optimising asthma care for patients and the planet
Severe asthma is a distinct and debilitating condition representing up to 10% of asthma cases 7 yet accounts for at least 50% of the total costs of asthma 8,9 and 10 times that of mild asthma, based on a Canadian study. 10 A lack of awareness of what appropriate care should be for people with severe asthma means that patients often face delays ...
Interplay of clinical biomarkers in allergic asthma diagnosis and
Significant differences were observed in hematological parameters with higher levels of total leukocytes, eosinophil, and basophil counts in the AA group compared to HCs and several serum biomarkers related to lung function impairment are related to lung function impairment in AA. Given asthma's large phenotypic diversity, the study was aimed to use specific biomarkers to characterize Allergic ...
