Alpine altitude climate treatment for severe and uncontrolled asthma: An EAACI position paper

Karin B. Fieten et al.

Summary: The European Alpine Altitude Climate Treatment (AACT) programs combine the physical characteristics of altitude with avoidance of environmental triggers in alpine climate and a personalized multidisciplinary pulmonary rehabilitation approach, showing beneficial effects on immunomodulation, quality of life improvement, and prevention of asthma exacerbations.

Small Airway Disease in Pediatric Asthma: the Who, What, When, Where, Why, and How to Remediate. A Review and Commentary

Russell J. Hopp et al.

Summary: Asthma affects all portions of the airways, including small airways. The emphasis in asthma management is often on large airway obstruction, with minimal attention given to small airway disease. This review provides comprehensive data on small airway abnormalities in asthma and presents potential pharmacological options for pediatric patients.

Association between lung function of school age children and short-term exposure to air pollution and pollen: the PARIS cohort

Helene Amazouz et al.

Summary: This study investigated the relationship between short-term exposure to pollen and air pollution and lung function in school-age children from a French population-based birth cohort. The results showed that exposure to pollen and air pollution could adversely affect lung function in children, especially those with asthma. Additionally, there appeared to be a joint effect of grass pollen and air pollution on lung function.

European Respiratory Society clinical practice guidelines for the diagnosis of asthma in children aged 5-16 years

Erol A. Gaillard et al.

Summary: This study introduces evidence-based clinical practice guidelines for the diagnosis of asthma in children aged 5-16 years, recommending spirometry, bronchodilator reversibility testing, and exhaled nitric oxide fraction as first-line diagnostic tests, and advising against diagnosing asthma in children based solely on clinical history or a single abnormal test result.

Altitude healing effect in severe asthmatic children

P. Quignon et al.

Summary: High-altitude climatic therapy benefits children with allergic asthma by improving asthma control and peak expiratory flow, reducing allergenic stimulation, while not significantly changing the levels of ROS and RNS.
