Association Between Allergic Rhinitis and Asthma in Adults With Loss of Interest in Sex.

Background: The alterations of sexual desire in allergy respiratory diseases have seldom been analyzed. This paper aims to evaluate the association of allergic rhinitis and asthma among adults with the loss of interest in sex.

Methods: Through a cross-sectional study, we compared three groups of subjects: one with patients with allergic rhinitis, another with allergic asthma, and a control group.

Low prevalence of asthma in Mexican children and adults with a positive rtRT-PCR test for SARS-CoV-2: a cross-sectional study during the 2020 pandemic.

Background: It has recently been argued that asthma does not increase the risk of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection. If so, the prevalence of asthma in subjects diagnosed with COVID-19 should be lower than in the general population.

Objective: To determine the prevalence of asthma in Mexican children and adults with SARS-CoV-2 infection.

Anxiety and depression in adult patients with asthma: the role of asthma control, obesity and allergic sensitization.

Objective: To determine the frequency of anxiety and depression in adult patients with asthma and to identify factors associated with them.

Methods: This cross-sectional study included 164 consecutively recruited patients with asthma aged ≥ 18 years. Participants were clinically assessed and the mental state was analyzed through of the Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI), the Beck Depression Inventory II (BDI-II); the Asthma Control Test (ACT) was measured, and allergic sensitization and respiratory function were also evaluated.

Asthma prevalence, but not allergic rhinitis nor atopic dermatitis, is associated to exposure to dogs in adolescents.

Background: Exposure to pets can be a predisposing factor in the development of certain diseases, including allergic diseases.

Objective: We analyzed the role that exposure to indoor dogs and cats plays in the prevalence of allergic diseases.

Methods: We examined the cross-sectional data of 1056 women and 936 men aged 15 to 18 years; these individuals were selected through stratified and cluster random sampling.

[The prevalence of allergic rhinitis and atopic dermatitis in late adolescents differs according to their gender].

Background: In Mexico, there are very few studies aimed at establishing the prevalence of allergic rhinitis (AR) and atopic dermatitis (AD) in late adolescents.

Objective: To determine the prevalence of allergic rhinitis and atopic dermatitis in late adolescents and compare it according to their gender.

Methods: A cross-sectional study that included 1992 15 to 18 year old adolescents who were recruited through a stratified and randomized probabilistic sample by clusters.

Rhinitis as an associated factor for anxiety and depression amongst adults.

Introduction: Anxiety and depression are frequent disorders of chronic diseases, yet there is no conclusive information to their association with rhinitis.

Objective: The objective is to determine the frequency of anxiety and depression and its possible association to allergic rhinitis (AR) and non-allergic rhinitis (NAR).

Methods: This is a cross-sectional study in which procured subjects with AR (n=111), NAR (n=34) and a control group (n=96) from the university hospital.
