The purpose of the study was to evaluate the efficacy of salmeterol in asthma therapy. The study was performed on a group of 16 allergic asthma patients sensitive to house dust mite allergens. After a run-in period the patients were treated with salmeterol, 2 x 50 micrograms, for a period of 12 weeks. They noted an intensity of asthma symptoms, morning and evening PEF, beta 2-agonist consumption and adverse in their diary cards. On the visit to the clinic spirometry was performed. During the treatment a significant reduction in the symptom score, PEF variation, beta-agonist consumption and an increase in the value of morning and evening PEF were noted. The above results indicate the great efficacy of salmeterol in asthma therapy.

Allergic Rhinitis and its Impact on Asthma (ARIA) Classes in MASK-air Users.

MASK-air, Montpellier, France.
Background And Objectives: The Allergic Rhinitis and its Impact on Asthma (ARIA) guidelines classify rhinitis as "intermittent" or "persistent" and "mild" or "moderate-severe". To assess ARIA classes in a real-world study in terms of phenotypic differences and their association with asthma.
Methods: We performed a cross-sectional real-world study based on users of the MASK-air® app who reported data for at least 3 different months.
Biologic therapies targeting type 2 cytokines are effective at improving asthma symptoms and control-a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: Allergic asthma is a highly prevalent chronic inflammatory disease driven by aeroallergen exposure. In severe asthma, the current standard of care does not fully control disease symptoms, indicating an unmet clinical need. Biologic therapies targeting cytokines IL-4, IL-5, and IL-13 have been shown to provide benefits to asthmatic patients over currently existing asthma treatments.

Background: Management of patients with food allergies is complex, especially in cases of patients with multiple and potentially severe food allergies. Although international guidelines exist for food allergy management, the role of the allergist in the decision-making process is key.
Objective: Our aim was to investigate the management patterns and educational needs of practicing allergists treating patients with food allergies.

Drug allergy encompasses a spectrum of immunologically-mediated hypersensitivity reactions (HSRs) with varying mechanisms and clinical presentations. This type of adverse drug reaction (ADR) not only affects patient quality of life, but may also lead to delayed treatment, unnecessary investigations, and increased morbidity and mortality. Given the spectrum of symptoms associated with the condition, diagnosis can be challenging.

Background: Until recently, immediate emergency department (ED) transfer after food-related anaphylactic reactions was recommended regardless of symptom resolution following use of an epinephrine autoinjector (EAI). We evaluated the cost-effectiveness of delayed ED transfer after EAI use in non-medical settings (watchful waiting) compared to immediate ED transfer among pediatric patients with food allergies in Canada.
Methods: We developed a probabilistic Markov model of individuals starting at age of one year who are at risk of severe food-related allergic reactions requiring epinephrine.
