Article Synopsis
- * A study at Spanish hospitals examined 196 patients with RCC or UCC, revealing that most patients were female, with a mean age of 58.5 years, and a significant number required multiple doctor visits and diagnostic tests.
- * The findings indicated that RCC and UCC lead to extensive use of health resources, suggesting that targeted treatments for the underlying causes of chronic cough could alleviate patient burdens and optimize healthcare expenses.
Impulse oscillometry (IOS) has been proposed as an alternative test to evaluate the obstruction of small airways and to detect changes in airways earlier than spirometry. In this study, we sought to determine the utility and association of IOS parameters with spirometry and asthma control in an adult population. Adults 14-82 years of age with asthma were classified into uncontrolled asthma (n=48), partially controlled asthma (n=45), and controlled asthma (n=49) groups, and characterized with fractional exhaled nitric oxide (FE), IOS, and spirometry in a transversal analysis planned as a one-visit study.

The main objective of the project is to create a mobile application identifying, within the city of Valencia, the most favorable routes for allergic individuals. The application is developed using nine environmental variables with a potential effect on the development of clinical manifestations in allergic individuals.

Objectives: To evaluate the use of allergy alert entries in EHRs and to establish the allergy profile of hospitalized patients.
Methods: Allergy data recorded in EHRs were analyzed in a cross-sectional, observational, descriptive study of patients admitted to the hospital from January 1 through June 30, 2011.
