Classification of bronchial asthma can be based on age, etiology, associated characteristics, or severity. Classifications based on severity have been primarily designed as an approach to asthma treatment. Thus, management of mild intermittent disease may require only bronchodilator treatment, but frequent attacks with or without persistent mild symptoms require a comprehensive approach to controlling inflammation as well as bronchodilator treatment. Severe asthma can become a major clinical problem that requires specialist care and many different approaches to asthma attack treatment. (more…)

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.
