Article Abstract
Micro RNAs (miRNAs) are short, non-coding RNAs (Ribonucleic acids) with regulatory functions that could prove useful as biomarkers for asthma diagnosis and asthma severity-risk stratification. The objective of this systematic review is to identify panels of miRNAs that can be used to support asthma diagnosis and severity-risk assessment. Three databases (Medline, Embase, and SCOPUS) were searched up to 15 September 2020 to identify studies reporting differential expression of specific miRNAs in the tissues of adults and children with asthma. Studies reporting miRNAs associations in animal models that were also studied in humans were included in this review. We identified 75 studies that met our search criteria. Of these, 66 studies reported more than 200 miRNAs that are differentially expressed in asthma patients when compared to non-asthmatic controls. In addition, 16 studies reported 17 miRNAs that are differentially expressed with differences in asthma severity. We were able to construct two panels of miRNAs that are expressed in blood and can serve as core panels to further investigate the practicality and efficiency of using miRNAs as non-invasive biomarkers for asthma diagnosis and severity-risk assessment, respectively.

Introduction: Prior studies of pediatric asthma control and lung function after COVID-19 have been limited by short follow-up intervals. We aimed to evaluate symptom control and lung function in children with asthma up to 34 months post-COVID-19.
Methods: We conducted a prospective observational chart review study.

Ladakh is a hilly Himalayan dry desert, situated at an altitude of >11,000 feet. Studies have demonstrated that the spirometric values of high-altitude residents are significantly higher than those of low landers. This is a retrospective observational study that analyzes the spirometry pattern in chronic lung diseases among people from Ladakh.

is an ubiquitous mold commonly found in both outdoor and indoor environments. It is a common airborne mold recognized as a significant aeroallergen linked to pediatric allergic rhinitis and asthma. Although sensitization rates in children vary regionally, evidence suggests that allergy significantly impacts pediatric respiratory health and as its exposure worsens, respiratory outcomes in susceptible pediatric populations .

Saline nasal irrigation provides symptom relief in allergic rhinitis (AR), but the optimal saline concentration remains uncertain. The comparative efficacy of 3% hypertonic saline nasal irrigation (HSNI) versus 0.9% isotonic saline is still debated.

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.
