The genetics of asthma will be discussed only in the context of environmental exposures. In general, the identification of novel genes for asthma suggests that many genes with small effects, rather than a few genes with strong effects, contribute to the development of asthma. These genetic effects may, in part, differ with respect to a subject’s environmental exposures, although some genes may also exert their effect independently of the environment. (more…)

The authors investigated whether environmental control during pregnancy and early life affects sensitization and lung function at the age of 3 years. High-risk children (n = 251) were pre-natally randomized to stringent environmental control (active) or no intervention (control). Questionnaires, allergy skin testing and IgE and specific airway resistance (sRaw) measurements were completed at the age of 3 years. (more…)

Living with asthma can be a struggle especially for people with active lifestyle. When you have asthma, one of the most significant things to do is to constantly monitor your blood oxygen saturation (SpO2) on regular basis. Oxygen saturation is the percentage of oxygen in the blood, which is used by physicians as important indicator of body vital health. A very effective device for medical control of asthma and to measure oxygen in body is the LM-900 Pulse Oximeter Medical Landon’s fingertips. (more…)

Allergen immunotherapy has proven to be effective in the management of allergic disease and is the only treatment that is able to modify the natural course of the disease. Its wider applicability for the treatment of allergic disease has, in part, been limited by its perceived safety profile. This study follows up previous fatal reaction surveys undertaken in the USA for the periods 1959–1984 and 1985–1989. (more…)

Otitis media with effusion is a chronic inflammatory disease of the middle ear space characterized by the accumulation of fluid. Previous investigations have suggested that the immunopathological mechanism underlying the development of middle ear effusion in allergy patients largely involves the effects of Th2 mediators. The investigators set out to determine whether the middle ear compartment may be a component of the united airways in allergic disease by comparing the inflammatory profiles of the middle ear with those of the upper airway. Middle ear effusions, torus tubaris (Eustachian tube mucosa at the nasopharyngeal orifice) and adenoidal tissue biopsies were obtained from 45 patients undergoing simultaneous tympanostomy tube placement for Otitis media with effusion and adenoidectomy for adenoid hypertrophy.
