Article Abstract
Background: Asthma is a public health problem in the world, so updating the guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of asthma is based primarily on the practice of primary care physicians. Educational interventions are useful for increasing knowledge.
Objective: To compare the level of knowledge of asthma before and after an educational intervention.
Methods: A quasi-experimental prospective study was conducted in general and family practitioners and pediatricians who attended a training workshop on general aspects of asthma and current guidelines for diagnosis and treatment (GINA 2014). A questionnaire consisting of 11 multiple choice questions relating to fundamental aspects of the disease and diagnosis, classification, treatment and management of attacks, was used in two assessments, baseline and post-intervention.
Results: A total of 178 patients participated in the study, with knowledge pre-intervention at 25.5 points and post-intervention at 97.5 points on a scale of 100, with p < 0.05.
Conclusion: Educational interventions are inexpensive and effective tools to increase the knowledge of health professionals, and they have an impact on improving patient care.

Thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP) is an epithelial cell-derived cytokine that plays a crucial role in the pathophysiology of asthma, initiating multiple allergic cascade responses. Tezepelumab is the only monoclonal antibody currently approved for marketing, which acts by blocking TSLP binding to TSLPR. However, it is reported that a TSLP trap which simultaneously block TSLP binding with TSLPR and IL-7Rα has better efficiency in the repression of TSLP signal pathway.

Objective: This study aimed to identify key childhood obesity correlates in Southern California by analyzing individual components from four social determinants of health (SDoH) indices and explore their interactions.
Methods: We utilized publicly available data from 330 cities across 10 counties, incorporating childhood obesity rates from the 2019 California Department of Education Physical Fitness Test (684,419 children, 40% Latino). Fifty-two individual SDoH were obtained from the Healthy Places Index, Social Vulnerability Index, CalEnviroScreen, and Child Opportunity Index (2015-2019).

Background: Allergic rhinitis and allergic asthma are respiratory tract diseases predominantly triggered by allergens such as pollens, house dust mite, mold etc. The prevalence of respiratory allergens varies according to geographic location. Ragweed (), a prevalent weed particularly in South America and Europe, is being investigated for its sensitization frequency in the Black Sea region of our country.
