Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to compare the efficacy, safety, and immunogenicity of a new treatment (P043) for allergic asthma with the established drug, Xolair (omalizumab), focusing on the rate of asthma exacerbations.
- Over a 28-week trial with 256 participants, results showed that both treatments had similar rates of exacerbations, asthma control test scores, and spirometry measurements, indicating that P043 is as effective as omalizumab.
- Adverse events reported were comparable between both groups, with common issues being dyspnea and headache, and no significant issues with drug safety or immunogenicity observed for either treatment.

Objective: Asthma is a common disease and curcumin has modest effect in inflammatory disorders. This study investigated the efficacy of nano-curcumin on asthma.
Materials And Methods: In this double-blinded randomized clinical trial, 60 patients with non-atopic bronchial asthma were randomly stratified in two groups of intervention (N=30) and control (N=30) groups.
The newest virus from the SARS family of viruses called acute syndrome-coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2), which causes COVID-19 disease, was identified in China at the end of 2019. In March 2020, after it spread to 29 additional countries, it was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization (WHO). SARS-CoV-2 infection mainly starts through the respiratory tract and causes a wide spectrum of symptoms from asymptomatic infections to acute respiratory distress syndrome with multi-organ failure and vasoplegic shock.

Immunocompetent people can also be a spreading agent for PCP. Regarding this, the aim of the present study was to diagnose and identify in bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) samples obtained from patients with pulmonary disorder using a molecular method.

Identification of the first nodal drainage site (sentinel node) may improve detection of metastatic nodes. Extended surgeries, such as lobectomy or pneumonectomy with lymph node dissection, are among the therapeutic options of higher acceptability.
