Asthma and antibiotic use may predict nasal polyp recurrence after endoscopic sinus surgery
The probability of revision sinus surgery including the removal of nasal polyps is higher if the patient has asthma or is on antibiotics at the time of their initial surgery. However, higher age was not a predictor of revision surgery, according to a new study.
New scan method unveils lung function secrets
A new method of scanning lungs is able to show in real time how air moves in and out of the lungs as people take a breath in patients with asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and patients who have received a lung transplant. It enables experts to see the functioning of transplanted lungs and could enable medics to identify sooner any decline in lung function.
The nose knows: Nasal swab detects asthma type in kids
A new, non-invasive nasal swab test for kids that diagnoses specific asthma subtype, or endotype, could help clinicians prescribe medications more precisely and pave the way for research toward better treatments for lesser-studied asthma types, which have been difficult to diagnose accurately until now.
What are the different types of asthma?
There are several different types of asthma, and each has its own set of triggers. Some common types include allergic, nonallergic, seasonal, occupational, and...
