BACKGROUND Asian dust (AD) exposure exacerbates pulmonary dysfunction in patients with asthma. Asthma-chronic obstructive pulmonary disease overlap syndrome (ACOS), characterized by coexisting symptoms of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, is considered a separate disease entity. Previously, we investigated the effects of AD on pulmonary function in adult patients with asthma. He...

Bronchial asthma, an allergic disease that develops in childhood, is physiologically characterized by reversible airflow obstruction. It has an episodic course and a generally favorable prognosis, as it responds well to anti-...
متن کاملOverlap syndrome--Asthma and obstructive sleep apnea.
INTRODUCTION Asthma is a chronic inflammatory disease with multiple phenotypes. There is still a major gap in the understanding of its complex causality. Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a common condition that has been implicated as a risk factor for asthma exacerbations. OBJECTIVES This study aims to characterize patients with the diagnosis of asthma and suspected OSA; identify the presence...
متن کاملAsthma-COPD overlap syndrome and precision medicine.
Differentiation of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in symptomatic patients has been extremely difficult clinically in many instances. This situation led to the formulation of the so-called “Dutch hypothesis” in 1961,1 cited by Christenson.2 The theory postulates that obstructive lung disease occur in a continuum, with asthma and COPD being expressions of the same disease...
