Article Synopsis
  • - The traditional healthcare approach often overlooks patients' personal experiences and strengths, focusing mainly on disease treatment. Person-centered care aims to align medical decisions with individual values and preferences, particularly for those with chronic conditions.
  • - This paper seeks to enhance care for rhinitis and asthma by developing digital care pathways and incorporating real-world evidence to create a more patient-centered approach.
  • - Key components of the review include advancements in mHealth, the integration of artificial intelligence, a novel classification system for airway diseases, and proposals for the ARIA 2024 guidelines, all targeting a sustainable and applicable healthcare model.

Article Synopsis
  • Specific immunoglobulin E (sIgE) antibodies are key indicators for assessing the severity of allergic diseases, particularly in rhinitis cases.
  • A study involving 4,077 participants aimed to investigate the link between sIgE levels and types of rhinitis based on allergen exposure.
  • The findings revealed that individuals with negative skin-prick tests had higher levels of sIgE associated with allergic rhinitis, suggesting a likelihood of developing seasonal or persistent allergic rhinitis even without traditional test confirmation.

Introduction: Specific immunoglobulins E (sIgE) are important parameters for the estimation of severity of allergic diseases.

Aim: To determine the relationship between the concentration of specific IgE antibodies in serum and types of asthma.

Material And Methods: The concentration of sIgE antibodies against allergens , cat dander, timothy grass, and were determined in the serum of 4077 respondents randomly selected from 8 regions (ECAP study).

Background: Allergic diseases-rhinitis and asthma-are the most common chronic conditions affecting adults. Traditional approaches to allergy diagnosis and treatment do not meet the health needs of all patients. Treatment adherence remains a challenge for physicians.

Article Synopsis
  • Specific immunoglobulins E (sIgE) levels are crucial for assessing the severity of allergies, and this study investigates how factors like gender, age, and location impact sIgE concentrations.
  • The research involved analyzing serum samples from 4,077 individuals across 8 regions, linking test results to questionnaire responses.
  • Findings indicate that sIgE is less common in rural areas and less industrialized cities, more prevalent in males, and varies with birth months tied to specific allergens, suggesting that environmental and biological factors significantly influence IgE production.

Background: Links between multimorbidity of allergic diseases and allergen sensitization are still under debate, especially in adults. This study aimed to establish a relationship between polysensitization and allergic multimorbidity in children and adults and the allergens involved in multimorbidity.

Material And Method: A cross-sectional multicentre study enrolled children aged 6-7 and 13-14 years and adults aged 20-44 years from a Polish national cohort.

Objective: The prevalence of allergic diseases has reached epidemic proportions in the Western world. Although farm-living has been associated with a lower prevalence of asthma and atopy, a marked increase in atopy among rural populations after accession to the European Union has been recently reported in Poland. Here, we aimed to investigate the effect of living environment on the prevalence of atopy and allergic diseases in Polish children.

Introduction: Connective tissue diseases (CTDs) of childhood are rare inflammatory disorders, involving various organs and tissues including respiratory system. Pulmonary involvement in patients with CTDs is uncommon but may cause functional impairment. Data on prevalence and type of lung function abnormalities in children with CTDs are scarce.

Interpretation of spirometry strongly depends on the applied predicted values. New Global Lung Initiative (GLI) reference values have recently been published but their influence on spirometry interpretation in children has not been widely evaluated. The aim of the study was to compare the interpretation of spirometry using GLI-2012 vs.
