In children being treated for acute asthma in emergency departments, the use of intravenous magnesium sulfate occurs late in the treatment regimen and in only a small percentage of patients.
Asthma Severity May Be Indicated by Herpes Virus Entry Mediator Gene Expression
Expression of the herpes virus entry mediator gene is associated with disease activity in patients with asthma and may, therefore, be a potential biomarker of asthma severity.
Asthma Exacerbation May Increase Pediatric Asthma Rehospitalization Rates
Incidence rates of severe asthma exacerbation are highest in children with severe asthma and a history of exacerbations.
Asthma Pathogenesis, Severity May Be Driven by High Levels of Iron in Airways
Iron level in the airways may be closely related to the pathogenesis and severity of asthma.
Low-Severity COVID-19 May Be Associated With Gastrointestinal Symptoms
A subset of patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) may present with low disease severity marked only by digestive symptoms.
Clinical Evaluation and Test Results May Predict COVID-19 in Patients at High Risk
Study results highlight that a risk scoring system would help prioritize high-risk individuals in primary care and emergency room settings for clinical care, isolation precautions and contact tracing efforts for people with COVID-19.
Hypotension and Hypoxemic Respiratory Failure Precede Mortality in COVID-19
Hypoxemic respiratory failure and hypotension were the most common precursors of mortality in critically ill patients with COVID-19 during the first 3 weeks of the outbreak in Seattle, Washington.
Endoscopic Sinus Surgery May Affect Asthma Control in Eosinophilic CRSwNP
