Number of Patient-Reported Asthma Triggers Predicts Uncontrolled Disease Burden
Colby Stong A better understanding of asthma triggers and their relationship to disease burden and health-related quality of life may help clinicians develop better asthma management plans with their patients. Among patients with severe asthma, the number of patient-reported triggers is a strong independent predictor of uncontrolled disease burden, according to a study in the Annals […]
Development and Validation of a Respiratory-Responsive Vocal Biomarker–Based Tool for Generalizable Detection of Respiratory Impairment: Independent Case-Control Studies in Multiple Respiratory Conditions Including Asthma, Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, and COVID-19
Kaur S, Larsen E, Harper J, Purandare B, Uluer A, Hasdianda MA, Umale NA, Killeen J, Castillo E, Jariwala S. J Med Internet Res 2023;25:e44410 doi: 10.2196/44410 Abstract Background:Vocal biomarker–based machine learning approaches have shown promising results in the detection of various health conditions, including respiratory diseases, such as asthma. Objective:This study aimed to determine whether a respiratory-responsive vocal biomarker (RRVB) model platform initially trained […]
Pericytes: The lung-forgotten cell type
Front Physiol. 2023; 14: 1150028. Annelise T. Garrison, Rebecca E. Bignold, Xinhui Wu, and Jill R. Johnson Abstract Pericytes are a heterogeneous population of mesenchymal cells located on the abluminal surface of microvessels, where they provide structural and biochemical support. Pericytes have been implicated in numerous lung diseases including pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) and allergic asthma due to their ability […]
Inhalation Devices in 7- to 15-Year-Old Children with Asthma – A Patient Preference Study
Authors Tietz F, Adams I, Lücke E, Schreiber J Patient Preference and Adherence Volume 17 DOI https://doi.org/10.2147/PPA.S381486 Background: Inhalation therapy is the cornerstone of treatment of bronchial asthma. A patient-specific selection of inhalation devices is necessary, as preference for a device plays an important role in terms of error rates in handling and adherence to therapy. However, there is no industry-independent […]

Machine Learning Analysis of Microbiome Reveals Children’s Asthma Control Level
Ron Goldberg A machine learning system differentiated uncontrolled and controlled asthma in children with 81% accuracy in saliva samples and 86% accuracy in feces. Machine learning gastrointestinal microbiome analysis of saliva and feces samples can be used to reveal controlled vs uncontrolled asthma in children with moderate-to-severe asthma, according to study findings published in Pediatric Allergy […]
