Lower Remission Rate in Asthma May Be Linked to Age at Diagnosis
Melissa I. Alvarez Late-diagnosed asthma was identified as the most significant independent risk factor for non-remission in patients with asthma, according to study results published in The Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology: In Practice. Researchers sought to determine the correlation between asthma remission, age, and sex, and identify risk factors of non-remission. They conducted an […]
Elevated HbA1c may raise risk for asthma-related hospitalization, impaired lung function
Elevated HbA1c level was associated with increased risk for asthma-related hospitalizations and a small decrease in lung function in adults with asthma who did not have diabetes, researchers reported. “Asthma hospitalizations result from severe or poorly controlled disease and account for a high proportion of asthma-related health care costs,” Juan C. Celedón, MD, DrPH, FAAAI, the Niels K. Jerne […]
Neutrophilic Inflammation, Immunothrombosis May Distinguish Severe COVID-19 From Influenza
Brandon May Severe coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is associated with immunothrombotic, neutrophil-containing vessel occlusions in the lung, with neutrophils representing the primary immune cell component associated with clinical deterioration, according to study results published in the Journal of Thrombosis and Haemostasis. The study included 27 patients with COVID-19 who were part of the COVID-19 Registry of […]
