Asthma is a common and complex heterogeneous disease, with prevalence and severity varying across different age groups and sexes. Over the past few decades, with the development of high-throughput technologies, various "omics" analyses have emerged and been applied to asthma research, providing us with significant opportunities to study the genetic mechanisms underlying asthma. However, despite these advancements, the differences and specificities in the genetic mechanisms of asthma between sexes remain to be fully explored. Moreover, clinical guidelines have yet to incorporate or recommend sex-specific asthma management based on high-quality omics evidence. In this article, we review recent omics-level findings on sex differ-ences in asthma and discuss how to better integrate these multidimensional findings to generate further insights and advance the precision and effectiveness of asthma treatment.

Introduction: Chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyp (CRSwNP) is a predominant type 2 inflammatory disease, affecting the sense of smell and quality of life. Loss of smell compromises physical and emotional health, creating negative impacts and its treatment in CRSwNP is challenging.
Aim: To present the outcomes of dupilumab in olfactory function, Nasal Polyp Score (NPS) and quality of life in Brazilian patients with severe CRSwNP.

Background: Bisulfite (HSO) plays crucial roles in food safety and physiological health. In the food industry, sulfur dioxide (SO) and its derivative bisulfite (HSO) are extensively employed as preservatives and bleaching agents. Nonetheless, overconsumption of bisulfite can present health hazards like asthma and potentially cancer.

Background: Several real-world cohorts and numerous case reports investigating benralizumab outcomes in eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis have been published. These studies complement the limited clinical trial data available by providing early insights on benralizumab use in a broader, real-world population.
Objective: The objective of this systematic literature review (SLR) was to provide an overview of the real-world outcomes of benralizumab in EGPA.

Background: The aim of biologic therapies in severe asthma is inhibition of T2 inflammatory pathways.
Objective: We hypothesized that patients who achieve complete suppression of IL-5 & IL4/IL13 pathways with biologic therapy (FeNO <20ppb & blood eosinophil count (BEC) <0.15x10ˆ9, 'biological remission') would have better outcomes than patients with incomplete suppression of T2 biology.

Purpose: Asthma and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) are two respiratory diseases that often may coexist, resulting in Alternative Overlap Syndrome (aOVS), which is still underestimated and underdiagnosed.
Objectives: This state-of-art review aims to describe the current evidence on aOVS, including its pathophysiology, clinical, functional and therapeutic implications. A secondary objective is to assess whether aOVS can be identified as a distinct endophenotype needing personalized diagnostic and therapeutic strategies.
