212 asthma patients, who attended their first health spa at La Bourboule, are studied. The functional data are statistically compared to those obtained from clinical examination. In this group of patients, it is found that: 1. Most of the functional tests are perturbed in proportion to the seiousness of the disease (determined by the number of days of attack per year). On the contrary, the other clinical criteria, and in particular the evolution time, do not affect the functional values. 2. The different ventilatory parameters studied are correlated two by two, for instance V 50 on the one had, FEV1, FEV1/VC or LR on the other. Finally the authors discuss the interest of V 50 and LR measurement in order to localize the bronchial obstruction in asthma at the level of either the large trunks (LR) or the small bronchii (V 50).

Department of Chest Diseases, Ankara Atatürk Sanatorium Training and Research Hospital, University of Health Sciences, Ankara, Turkiye.
Background/aim: There is currently no data from Türkiye on whether, following a diagnosis of asthma, patients are given an asthma action plan to implement. There is also no data on whether patients can manage their treatment based on the provided asthma action plans. The present study aimed to determine the use of asthma action plans in Türkiye and the awareness levels of patients about these plans.

Department of Clinical Sciences in Lund, Respiratory Medicine, Allergology and Palliative Medicine, Lund University, Lund, Sweden.
Background: Exertional breathlessness is a key symptom in cardiorespiratory disease and can be quantified using incremental exercise testing, but its prognostic significance is unknown. We evaluated the ability of abnormally high breathlessness intensity during incremental cycle exercise testing to predict all-cause, respiratory, and cardiac mortality.
Study Design And Methods: Longitudinal cohort study of adults referred for exercise testing followed prospectively for mortality assessed using the Swedish National Causes of Death Registry.
The role of vitamin A in relation to childhood asthma with hypertension: a cross-sectional study of the NHANES database.

Department of Pediatrics, Nanjing Medical University Affiliated Taizhou People's Hospital, Taizhou, China.
Background: Recent studies have reported that diet can modulate the associations between risk factors and childhood metabolic diseases. Herein, this study aims to explore the role of dietary vitamin A (VA) in relation to asthma with hypertension in children and adolescents, and further provide some information on dietary aspect for the prevention of asthma related hypertension.
Methods: In this cross-sectional study, data of 9,448 children and adolescents were obtained from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) database for the period of 2007 to 2018.
Resistant and refractory migraine - two different entities with different comorbidities? Results from the REFINE study.

December 2024
Department of Biotechnological and Applied Clinical Sciences, University of L'Aquila, L'Aquila, Italy.
Article Synopsis
- * In the study, 689 participants were categorized into three groups based on migraine resistance, with significant differences in the number and type of comorbidities found among them.
- * The findings suggest that higher comorbidity rates may contribute to the worsening of migraines, potentially making them harder to treat over time.
Mendelian randomization analysis reveals causal effects of inflammatory bowel disease and autoimmune hyperthyroidism on diffuse large B-cell lymphoma risk.

Key Laboratory of Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine for Hematology, Health Commission of Shandong Province; Institute of Hematology, Shandong University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Jinan, People's Republic of China.
Article Synopsis
- This study investigates the controversial link between autoimmune diseases (ADs) and the risk of developing diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) using Mendelian randomization methods.
- Researchers analyzed data from nine ADs and compared it with DLBCL cases, aiming to establish causal associations using genetic markers (SNPs).
- The findings indicated that inflammatory bowel disease and autoimmune hyperthyroidism significantly increase DLBCL risk, while other conditions like asthma and psoriasis showed no significant associations.
