An Introduction to Allergic Diseases
The incidence of respiratory allergies is increasing, particularly in industrialized areas. Allergic inflammation can occur in both the upper and lower airways, and can differ substantially in intensity. Traditional drug therapy such as antihistamines, corticosteroids, anticholinergic agents and leukotriene inhibitors is important in reducing and preventing symptoms and is essential in acute use. More recent therapies including anti-immunoglobin E (IgE) therapy, anti-interleukin (IL) monoclonal antibodies, and phosphodiesterase 4/phospholipaseA2 inhibitors, have improved outcomes. However, in order to develop more effective therapies, further research is needed into the molecular mechanisms underlying respiratory allergy onset, particularly in terms of intracellular reactions and the cytosolic Ca2+ balance.

What if your medical degree could launch more than a clinical career? In this candid and compelling read, Dr Jon Edelson shares his lessons for early-career clinicians ready to think beyond the bedside and explore the business of medicine.
Future Leader, Dr Michelle Korah-Sedgwick discusses her innovative work at the intersection of immunology and respiratory care, focusing on uncovering immune deficiencies in chronic lung disease. She shares insights on personalized treatment approaches, the value of clinical vigilance, and how registries are transforming care for patients with complex respiratory conditions.
In this episode, we explore the future of continuing medical education (CME) with the team behind touchIME. Hannah Fisher and Matthew Goodwin share insights into global and US trends, the importance of patient inclusivity and how educational outcomes are evolving to better measure the direct impact of learning on clinical practice and patient care.
The current treatment landscape for severe asthma faces major challenges despite biologic advances targeting type 2 inflammation. Current biomarkers like BEC and FeNO inadequately predict treatment response. To optimize precision medicine, improved molecular phenotyping and novel non-invasive biomarkers are urgently needed to better identify asthma endotypes and guide therapy.
The International Primary Care Respiratory Group (IPCRG), is proud to host the 8th IPCRG Scientific Meeting in Brașov, Romania, on Friday 11 and Saturday 12 April 2025. This event, in partnership with the RespiRO team and the Transilvania University of Brașov promises to bring together researchers, innovators, and industry leaders to advance respiratory care in primary health settings.
A new European Respiratory Society (ERS) statement on preschool wheezing disorders represents a significant update in the approach to diagnosing and managing this complex condition in young children.
Three experts discuss the challenges related to recognizing, diagnosing and treating patients with eosinophilic oesophagitis (EoE) and highlight how advances in diagnostic tools and emerging treatments may impact future care.
With the advent of newer drugs targeting the biochemical pathways that lead to cough, it is increasingly important to understand the definition, pathogenesis and management of this symptom. Several specialist bodies also recognize the need for guidance in this area, ...
