Asthma is a long-term inflammatory disease of the airways of the lungs. It is characterized by variable and recurring symptoms, reversible airflow obstruction, and easily triggered bronchospasms. Symptoms include episodes of wheezing, coughing, chest tightness, and shortness of breath. It may occur a few times a day or a few times per week. Depending on the person, asthma symptoms may become worse at night or with exercise. Asthma is thought to be caused by a combination of genetic and environmental factors. Environmental factors include exposure to air pollution and allergens. Other potential triggers include medications such as aspirin and beta blockers.

Immune Support is formulated to support the immune system to perform at its peak and to help a compromised immune system perform better. It can relieve symptoms of respiratory conditions by acting as an antioxidant and expectorant, loosening mucus in your air passageways. It demonstrates potent anti-inflammatory, antibacterial and antiviral effects. It helps to increase glutathione levels in the body, which is important for keeping your immune system functioning properly and getting rid of toxins. It may also ease upper respiratory infections, treat ulcers and aid digestion, among other benefits. It may increase your body’s production of white blood cells, which are the cells of your immune system responsible for preventing illness. It may also help fight viral infections. #inflammation #allergies #antioxidants #intergrativemedicine #supplements #supplementsthatwork #organhealth #yourbodymatters #holistichealth #holistichealing #ywb #naturalingredients #organhealing #cellsupport #hearthealing #respiratorysupport #immunesupport #neurologicalhealth #detoxification #antiviral #antibacterial

Free Access: Pyroptosis, gasdermins and allergic diseases. Authors: Ronald Allan Panganiban, Kari C. Nadeau, Quan Lu Read the article here: doi.org/10.1111/all.16236 Gasdermin-mediated pyroptosis is a type of programmed cell death that has been recently implicated in the development of allergic diseases. With over 165 references, this review article provides an overview of our current knowledge of #pyroptosis in the context of allergic diseases, including the mechanistic role of gasdermins in this process and in epithelial barrier dysfunction.

Take our #AllergyQuiz The underlying causes of asthma in childhood remain poorly studied, although an association between inflammatory skin disorders and asthma development has been described during early childhood. Nevertheless, few studies have focused on the relationship between lung function, skin barrier impairment and the development of asthma in children. In this regard, which of the following parameters seems to be more relevantly associated with the development of #asthma in girls, but not in boys at 3 years of age? Check the correct answer by reading the original article by Färdig and colleagues: doi.org/10.1111/all.16024 Options: A) Eczema B) Filaggrin mutations C) lower time to peak tidal expiratory flow to expiratory time D) high transepidermal water loss. #Allergy_journal Share your answer in the comment section below. We will post the answer tomorrow. https://lnkd.in/dpkNwmUZ

#PaperAlert: Keeping the Immune System in Balance With the Protein RelB New findings from #HelmholtzMunich shed light on how the immune system keeps itself in balance! Scientists around Caspar Ohnmacht have identified the protein #RelB in dendritic cells as a key player in regulating Tregs, the immune cells that help prevent autoimmune diseases and allergies. This discovery could pave the way for targeted therapies to fine-tune immune responses for various immune-related conditions. 👉 Learn more: https://lnkd.in/dKgH9jyy Springer Nature #ImmuneSystem #Autoimmunity #Allergies

Associations of tenascin C with Th2 response, edema degree, and disease severity in patients with chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps. First author: Ming Wang; corresponding authors: Xiangdong Wang, Luo Zhang Read the article here: doi.org/10.1111/all.16015 Wang et al. explore the role of Th2 cytokine-induced tenascin C (TNC) in the formation of nasal polyp edema that aggravates the severity of chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) TNC acts by inducing the production of matrix metalloproteinases (MMP) involved in collagen degradation. The mechanistic insights in this article pave way for the development of TNC inhibitors for the treatment of #CRSwNP. #Allergy_journal Read more articles published in #Allergy here: journalallergy.com

Anaphylaxis It is a severe type of allergic reaction (Type 1 Hypersensitivity) that can be life-threatening if not promptly diagnosed and treated. It can occur in response to any foreign substance. The most common triggers include food, insect venom, and drugs. It is essential to know the signs and symptoms for proper diagnosis and management. As anaphylaxis is a generalized systemic reaction, a wide variety of clinical signs and symptoms involving the skin, gastrointestinal and respiratory tracts, and cardiovascular systems can be observed. The most common clinical manifestations are cutaneous symptoms, including urticaria and angioedema, erythema (flushing), and pruritus (itching). Death due to anaphylaxis usually occurs as a result of respiratory obstruction or cardiovascular collapse, or both. #Allergy #Anaphylaxis #Symptoms #Management #Awareness

Open Access: Disease modification in chronic spontaneous urticaria Corresponding author: Marcus Maurer Read the article here: doi.org/10.1111/all.16243 With over 120 references and 8 figures this review articles on recent developments of disease-modifying treatment for chronic spontaneous #urticaria (CSU). It includes an introduction to the concept of disease modification in general and in the context of CSU, it clarifies the differences between disease-modifying treatments and symptom-preventing treatments, defines criteria for targeted treatment to be classified as disease-modifying in CSU, discusses non-targeted treatment and future outlook.

Asthma Education Empowers That is the motto of this year’s #WorldAsthmaDay organised by the Global Initiative for Asthma. Asthma is often underdiagnosed, though early indicators like the atopic march suggest that a thorough medical evaluation is necessary. Being the most common chronic disease among children and observing growing numbers worldwide, it is surprising that we still do not know exactly the underlying cause. However, the Epithelial Barrier Hypothesis from the Universität Zürich is growing stronger. This theory posits that the onslaught of new chemicals and increasing air pollution over recent centuries has compromised our primary defense: the epithelial barrier. This breakdown allows pathogens to invade, triggering autoimmune responses in those genetically predisposed to conditions like #eczema; food allergies; #allergic rhinitis and conjunctivitis; and allergic asthma. The effectiveness of the medEctoin® Hydro Complex in treating various #autoimmunediseases may be linked to its ability to reinforce the epithelial barrier. Learn how it helps protect these critical cells by following the link in the comment.
