In the first study to evaluate inhaler technique in children hospitalized for asthma — the group at highest risk for complications and death from asthma — researchers found that nearly half of participants demonstrated improper inhaler use, which means they routinely were not taking in the full dose of medication. Adolescents most commonly displayed critical […]

Scientists could be a step closer to providing more precise pollen forecasts to people who live with asthma or hay fever. This follows the first results of a major three-year project to analyze airborne grass pollen. For the first time, one season’s grass pollens have been analyzed using high-tech metabarcoding. The team have now begun […]
An international research team has found that patients with the lung disease bronchiectasis also often display sensitivity to airborne allergens, and has highlighted the particular role that fungi appear to play. Their discovery suggests that doctors s…
Restriction or inhalation of common sugar could one day treat a range of respiratory diseases, according to new research. The study in mice reveals how the ability of cells to use glucose helps to regulate the immune system during lung inflammation. Th…
Human-induced climate change is disrupting nature’s calendar, including when plants bloom and the spring season starts, and new research suggests we’re increasingly paying the price for it in the form of seasonal allergies. The study, based on over 300,000 respondents between 2002 and 2013, shows that hay fever allergies increase when the timing of spring […]
