Mashup Score: 0Adding spirometry to oscillometry identifies worsening asthma and greater peripheral airway impairment - 1 year(s) ago
We read with great interest the report by Chan and Lipworth,1 which showed that those adults with moderate-to-severe asthma who had combined peripheral airway impairment (PAI) by oscillometry and forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1) <80% predicted had worse lung function, uncontrolled asthma, and greater exacerbations than those who had PAI with preserved FEV1.

Mashup Score: 0Treatable Traits in Airway Disease: From Theory to Practice - 1 year(s) ago
Chronic airway diseases such as asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease are prevalent and complex conditions that often coexist in the same patient. To address this complexity in clinical practice, and to move forward toward personalized and precision medicine of airway diseases, a strategy based on the identification and treatment of so-called “treatable traits” (TTs) has been proposed….

Mashup Score: 0Investigating associations of omega-3 fatty acids, lung function decline, and airway obstruction - 1 year(s) ago
Rationale Inflammation contributes to lung function decline and the development of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Omega-3 fatty acids have anti-inflammatory properties and may benefit lung health. Objectives Investigate associations of omega-3 fatty acids with lung function decline and incident airway obstruction in adults of diverse races/ethnicities from general population…

Mashup Score: 0Coverage Decisions for Positive Airway Pressure Therapy: Intended and Unintended Consequences | Annals of the American Thoracic Society - 1 year(s) ago
Healthcare payers, including private insurers and government agencies, are tasked with funding health services across large populations using finite resources. Managing the competing demands that arise requires specific decisions about what services will and will not be covered. In turn, these coverage decisions create incentives and choice structures that drive patient and clinician behaviors…

Mashup Score: 0
Asthma and obesity are both complex conditions characterized by chronic inflammation, and obesity-related severe asthma has been associated with differences in the microbiome. However, whether the airway microbiome and microbiota-immune response relationships differ between obese persons with or without non-severe asthma is unestablished.
