Allergy EAACI’s Post

In Asthma Awareness Month, and among all the publicity around this chronic, distressing disease, it is worth reflecting on some basic facts: ·       Asthma is a long term, chronic disease, damaging human health around the world ·       Over a quarter of a billion people suffer from asthma ·       The global costs are in the hundreds of billions of dollars every year, worldwide ·       Approximately 17% of asthmatics are “difficult-to-treat” and require frequent hospitalization ·       Asthma kills over 450,000 people a year ·       The cost of treatments can make it difficult for many asthmatics to access proper care ·       Though the symptoms can be controlled, there is no cure Clearly, we need to do our best to to reduce the burden of this chronic, damaging disease. But what can we do? Well, one key element is reducing exposure to the causes of asthma, and to the triggers that can bring on a severe, and possibly life threatening, attack Cut the attacks, cut the misery, cut the deaths. #asthma #allergy #chronic #dustmites #housedustmites #aeris #aerisbiotech #aerisbiotechnologies

Today is Latin Pulmonary Hypertension Day! 🌟🫁 This day is dedicated to raising awareness about pulmonary hypertension (PH), a condition that affects the blood vessels in the lungs. 🆕 We are please to announce that there is a new resource available to help patients, caregivers, and patient association leaders on their journeys with PH. Aura, a virtual assistant on pulmonesvitales.com, can provide guidance and support. 🫱 🫲 Let's work together to raise awareness about PH and support people living with it.

Divergent sensory pathways of sneezing and coughing Sneezing and coughing are frequently associated with allergies and respiratory viral infections. This study reveals that sneezing and coughing are initiated by discrete sensory receptors and transmitted by divergent neuropathways, offering drug targets for managing pathological sneezing and coughing.   The researchers demonstrate that only one population (MrgprC11+MrgprA3−) mediates sneezing responses to variety of stimulants but does not mediate coughing (despite innervating trachea), although the nasal mucosa is innervated by several discrete populations of sensory neurons. The authors also found a distinct sensory population (somatostatin [SST+]) mediates coughing but not sneezing, thus revealing a distinction between sneezing and coughing. The researchers also found that at the circuit level, sneeze and cough signals are transmitted and modulated by divergent neuropathways. #ScienceMission #ScienceNewsHighlights  https://lnkd.in/gSz63eyY

May is a big month for health awareness and advocacy in the US.

 Here are just a few of the invisible health conditions we’ll be recognizing in May:
 → Long COVID → Mental Health → Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS) → Fibromyalgia → Lupus → Lyme Disease → Allergy/Asthma This month, let’s deepen our understanding of these chronic immunological and neurological diseases, and discover effective ways to manage them. Together, we can support our loved ones facing unseen challenges, helping them gain courage for the uncertainty that these diseases bring to their lives.💙 #NationalFibromyalgiaAwarenessDay #mecfsawareness #longcovid #lupusawarenessmonth

Indoor allergens increase respiratory infections in children with asthma 🏠💨 New research highlights how exposure to indoor allergens worsens respiratory infections among asthmatic children, suggesting that improved allergen management at home can help reduce infections. 🌡️👶 #AsthmaAwareness #AllergyPrevention #ChildHealth #IndoorAirQuality #RespiratoryHealth

Great achievements 👏 XBody Health, Wellness and Spa 🚨Lyme Disease Syndrome –The National Institutes of Health Release and Our Treatment Results. ℹ️ In a recent news release by the NIH, National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), part of the National Institutes of Health, has awarded five projects for research aimed at better understanding Post-treatment Lyme Disease Syndrome (PTLDS). PTLDS encompasses a collection of symptoms, such as ✔️pain, ✔️fatigue, and ✔️difficulty thinking or ✔️experiencing “brain fog,” which persist following standard treatment for Lyme disease. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that 476,000 people in the United States are infected with Lyme disease each year and 10% – 20% of them experience PTLDS. 🏥Our top-ranked Integrative Functional medical practice has achieved many successful results in Lyme Disease screening, testing, and treatment. @xbodyhealth XBody Health and Wellness leading Dr. Tatiana Sharahy has over 17 years of experience in the Lyme Disease field. ➡️ Read more, watch one of our patient testimonials and contact us to schedule your appointment.

Indoor Allergen Exposure Worsens Respiratory Infections in Children With Asthma: A recent study found that indoor allergen exposure, including mouse and cockroach allergens, led to an increased risk of respiratory viral infections in children with asthma. #finance #pharmacy #lifesciences

Today is Global Chronic Rhinosinusitis with Nasal Polyps (#CRSwNP) Awareness Day. To celebrate, AAFA published a new report called “Life with Nasal Polyps: The Patient Experience and Opportunities to Improve Care in the U.S.” https://lnkd.in/gfmEn4zN Chronic rhinosinusitis is an inflammation of the inner lining of the nose and sinuses for over 3 months. Chronic sinusitis can exist with or without nasal polyps, which are soft, painless, and non-cancerous growths that develop in the sinuses and nose. This report highlights the current state of care in the United States for people living with CRSwNP, including challenges and barriers to: ➡️ timely diagnosis ➡️ quality medical care ➡️ effective treatments ➡️ access to resources for CRSwNP These challenges also present opportunities to address the unmet needs and improve future care for people living with CRSwNP in the United States. AAFA hopes this new report will serve to highlight the voices of people living with CRSwNP and their caregivers, and inspire action from key stakeholders to address unmet needs for CRSwNP patients. #RespiratoryHealth #Asthma #Allergies #Rhinitis #PublicHealth #Research EUFOREA - European Forum for Research and Education in Allergy and Airway Diseases
