Mashup Score: 2
Background Spirometric small airways obstruction (SAO) is common in the general population. Whether spirometric SAO is associated with respiratory symptoms, cardiometabolic diseases, and quality of life (QoL) is unknown. Methods Using data from the Burden of Obstructive Lung Disease study (N = 21,594), we defined spirometric SAO as the mean forced expiratory flow rate between 25 and 75% of the…

Mashup Score: 0The association of residential distance from highly trafficked roads with atopic dermatitis risk - 1 year(s) ago
The effect of traffic-related air pollution (TRAP) on respiratory health and all-cause mortality has been well described,1 and associations between proximity to major roads, reflecting increased pollutant exposure, and risk of asthma have been reported.2 Recently, the effect of TRAP on skin health and risk of atopic dermatitis (AD) has also been described in a study from Seoul, South Korea.3 Here…

Mashup Score: 5Nasal airway transcriptome-wide association study of asthma reveals genetically driven mucus pathobiology - PubMed - 2 year(s) ago
To identify genetic determinants of airway dysfunction, we performed a transcriptome-wide association study for asthma by combining RNA-seq data from the nasal airway epithelium of 681 children, with UK Biobank genetic association data. Our airway analysis identified 95 asthma genes, 58 of which wer …

Mashup Score: 1A genome-wide association study of quantitative computed tomographic emphysema in Korean populations - PubMed - 3 year(s) ago
Emphysema is an important feature of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Genetic factors likely affect emphysema pathogenesis, but this question has predominantly been studied in those of European ancestry. In this study, we sought to determine genetic components of emphysema severity and …

Mashup Score: 0
Pediatric asthma is associated with increased health services utilization, missed school days, and diminished quality of life. Children with asthma also report more frequent depressive and anxiety symptoms than children without asthma, which may further worsen asthma outcomes.
