BACKGROUND Data on the association between obesity and asthma control are conflicting. We performed an analysis to elucidate the association between body mass index (BMI) and asthma control in a large sample of asthmatics. MATERIALS AND METHODS Data were obtained from a previous study in which the Asthma Control Questionnaire (ACQ) and Asthma Control Test (ACT) were validated for a Spanish po...
AIMS To evaluate the clinical efficacy of sublingual immunotherapy (SLIT) in respiratory allergy in children. METHODS A systematic literature review was conducted. The search was focused on all the double blind (and double dummy if necessary) studies. SEARCH STRATEGY Medline, Embase, Cochrane Controlled Trial Register, Abstract of Cochrane Airways Group, hand search, and archives of some SL...
PURPOSE To compare the orofacial functions (chewing, swallowing and speech) in children with asthma and healthy children. METHODS A cross sectional study including 54 children of both genders with ages between 7 and 10 years was conducted. Twenty-seven of these subjects composed the experimental group, and were subdivided into two severity levels of asthma: Group I - mild intermittent and per...
In developing these international guidelines there were several unifying themes in the diagnosis and simple management of childhood asthma. For the purposes of the meeting, asthma was operationally defined as 'episodic wheeze and/or cough in a clinical setting where asthma is likely and other rarer conditions have been excluded'. In making a diagnosis of asthma, a full history is a prerequisite...
BACKGROUND The natural history of respiratory allergy is commonly characterized by a worsening of symptom severity, frequent comorbidity of rhinitis and asthma, and polysensitization to aeroallergens. The polysensitization phenomenon starts since childhood and is rare to find monosensitized adult patients. However, there are few studies investigating the characteristics of polysensitized patien...
Case reports Case 1. 70 years old woman, with history of severe persistent asthma for 10 years was referred to our allergy clinic. She could not control her asthma and asthmatic attack always happened at night, so it was worse when she slept. She was treated with fluticasone/salmeterol accuhaler (250/50 mcg) 2 puffs twice daily, montelukast (10 mg), theophylline (200 mg), procaterol (50 mcg) an...
BACKGROUND Asthma is a major public health issue that affects morbidity. The greater severity of asthma requires more health care resource utilization. OBJECTIVE To investigate the possible changes in disease severity and allergen sensitization of children with asthma in an interim period of 5 years. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed the charts of 200 patients with established asthma in t...
BACKGROUND Allergic rhinitis (AR) is a common disorder. The diagnosis is based on the concordance between allergy sensitization and history. Serum allergen specific immunoglobulin E (sIgE) assessment allows characterization of the relevant sensitizing allergens. Presently, Allergic Rhinitis and its Impact on Asthma (ARIA) classification subdivides AR based on symptoms severity and duration. How...
BACKGROUND Poor asthma outcomes often result from patients not following physician medication recommendations (ie, nonadherence). Estimates suggest that 50% of patients with asthma do not follow physician medication recommendations. OBJECTIVE To examine the rationale for making available objective medication adherence monitors for physicians to improve the quality of care for patients with se...
Pharmacological therapy with inhaled steroids (IS) is currently considered the gold-standard of treatment for mild-persistent asthma. Leukotriene receptor antagonist drugs (LTRAs) play an important role associated with IS, allowing dose tapering and maintaining control of asthma symptoms. The aim of this study was to determine the effectiveness of montelukast (MON) to allow tapering of the inha...
