The first European Rhinology Research Forum organized by the European Forum for Research and Education in Allergy and Airway Diseases (EUFOREA) was held in the Royal Academy of Medicine in Brussels on 17th and 18th November 2016, in collaboration with the European Rhinologic Society (ERS) and the Global Allergy and Asthma European Network (GA2LEN). One hundred and thirty participants (medical doctors from different specialties, researchers, as well as patients and industry representatives) from 27 countries took part in the multiple perspective discussions including brainstorming sessions on care pathways and research needs in rhinitis and rhinosinusitis. The debates started with an overview of the current state of the art, including weaknesses and strengths of the current practices, followed by the identification of essential research needs, thoroughly integrated in the context of Precision Medicine (PM), with personalized care, prediction of success of treatment, participation of the patient and prevention of disease as key principles for improving current clinical practices. This report provides a concise summary of the outcomes of the brainstorming sessions of the European Rhinology Research Forum 2016.
El objetivo de esta revisión es facilitar al neumólogo el manejo de las enfermedades de la vía respiratoria superior ligadas a la vía respiratoria inferior, especialmente al asma, unidas por una epidemiología, una clínica y un mecanismo inflamatorio comunes e interrelacionados. El documento recoge las definiciones de los diferentes fenotipos nasosinusales ligados al asma: rinitis alérgica o no alérgica y rinosinusitis crónica con o sin pólipos nasales. Asimismo se recogen los criterios diagnósticos y su nivel de gravedad. Se dedica especial atención a los dos síndromes principales asociados al asma: 1) rinitis alérgica, la patología más frecuente, y 2) rinosinusitis crónica con pólipos nasales, la patología más ligada al asma grave. En síntesis, en el manejo del asma debe valorarse siempre la vía respiratoria superior con la finalidad de un diagnóstico unificado y un tratamiento integral de la vía respiratoria única.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
