Pharmacometabolomics via real-time breath analysis captures metabotypes of asthmatic children associated with salbutamol responsiveness.

Asthma is a widespread respiratory disease affecting millions of children. Salbutamol is a well-established bronchodilator available to treat asthma. However, response to bronchodilators is very heterogeneous, particularly in children.

Procrastination, depression and anxiety symptoms in university students: a three-wave longitudinal study on the mediating role of perceived stress.

However, evidence for negative consequences of procrastination is still limited and it is also unclear by which mechanisms they are mediated. Therefore, the aim of our study was to examine the harmful consequences of procrastination on students' stress and mental health.

Phenotypes of cough in children: A latent class analysis.

Introduction: Distinguishing phenotypes among children with cough helps understand underlying causes. Using a statistical data-driven approach, we aimed to identify and validate cough phenotypes based on measurable traits, physician diagnoses, and prognosis.

Methods: We used data from the Swiss Paediatric Airway Cohort and included 531 children aged 5-16 years seen in outpatient clinics since 2017.
