Abstract Background Allergic rhinitis often gives rise to impaired quality of life and is believed also affect cognitive function. We aimed examine whether functions were during grass pollen season in symptomatic allergic children relate the degree impairment biomarkers related stress inflammation. Methods Forty‐three pollen‐allergic (age 8‐17 years) with non‐satisfactory effect medication (antihistamines nasal steroids daily) previous seasons included. In addition, 26 matched non‐allergic...

Forced Oscillation Technique (FOT) is increasingly used to measure obstruction in the airways; however, association between airway and actual symptom burden asthma not known. Therefore, we aimed investigate central peripheral obstruction, measured by FOT, symptoms quality of life asthma. 319 patients were recruited answered questionnaires focusing on (ACT, ACQ, Nijmegen, HADS SNOT-22) (MiniAQLQ MiniRQLQ) performed FOT measurements estimating resistance (R5: total resistance, R19: R5-R19:...

Background: The BREATHE study is a cross-sectional of real-life patients with asthma and/or COPD in Denmark and Sweden aiming to increase the knowledge across severities combinations obstructive airway disease.Design: Patients suspicion healthy controls were invited participate had standard evaluation performed consisting questionnaires, physical examination, FeNO lung function, mannitol provocation test, allergy collection sputum blood samples. A subgroup bronchoscopy samples.Results:...

Background: Strenuous physical activity at an elite level is associated with increased risk for asthma and, in some sports, also prevalence of allergies. The aim this study was to investigate the and allergy among swimmers tennis players compare airway hyperreactivity mannitol exercise. Materials methods: One hundred one adolescent 86 answered a questionnaire about respiratory symptoms performed challenge sport-specific exercise challenge.

Abstract Most patients presenting with allergies are first seen by primary care health professionals. The perceived knowledge gaps and educational needs were recently assessed in response to which the LOGOGRAM Task Force was established remit of constructing pragmatic flow diagrams for common allergic conditions line an earlier EAACI proposal develop simplified pathways diagnosis management diseases care. To address lack accessible guidance, we designed five major clinical allergy...

Asthma is often difficult to control and it likely that not all patients are optimally treated. This study aimed explore asthma in adults receiving fixed dose combination (FDC) therapy. Control of was assessed using the mannitol challenge test as a monitoring tool see if this would give additional information compared (ACT). The an open-label, prospective on 98 prescribed with FDC therapies for at least three months. 74 considered their well controlled. However, 60 had positive (PD15 < 635...

Abstract Background Expiratory flow limitation (EFL) during tidal breathing and lung hyperinflation have been identified as major decisive factors for disease status, prognosis response to therapy in obstructive diseases. Aim To investigate the delta values between expiratory inspiratory resistance reactance, measured using respiratory oscillometry its correlation with air trapping symptoms subjects Methods Four hundred seventy‐one (96 chronic pulmonary [COPD], 311 asthma, 30 healthy smokers...

<b>Background:</b> Eosinophilic asthma and COPD endotypes have been associated with increased exacerbation risk symptom burden. We aimed to study the difference between airway systemic eosinophilia in terms of clinical outcomes for both COPD. <b>Methods:</b> BREATHE is a real-life assessing biomarkers disease mechanisms patients. Symptoms were assessed using ACQ-5 CAT scores. Blood was defined as &gt;0.3x109 cells/L, sputum ≥3%, blood+sputum both. <b>Results:</b> In patients, scores higher...
