“…The role of inhalant allergens (16)(17)(18)(19)(20)(21) in inducing immunopathological features based on allergen-specific T-helper (Th-2) cell response with eosinophils and T-lymphocytes predominant airway inflammation, thickening of the basement membrane and goblet-cell hyperplasia has been established both in asthma and AR (22,24). Usually, early onset allergic asthma is associated with allergic sensitization and AR (13).…”

Manifesto on united airways diseases (UAD): an Interasma (global asthma association – GAA) document

et al. 2021

The large amount of evidence and the renewed interest on upper and lower airways involvement in infectious and inflammatory diseases has led Interasma (Global Asthma Association) to take a position on United Airways Diseases (UAD). Starting from an extensive literature review, Interasma excecutive committee discussed and approved this Manifesto developed by Interasma scientific network (INES) members. The manifesto describes the evidence gathered to date and defines, states, advocates, and proposes issues on UAD (rhinitis, rhinosinusitis and nasal polyposis), and concomitant/comorbid lower airways disorders (asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, bronchiectasis, cystic fibrosis, obstructive sleep apnoea) with the aim of challenging assumptions, fostering commitment, and bringing about change.UAD refer to clinical pictures characterized by the coexistence of upper and lower airways involvement, driven by a common pathophysiological mechanism, leading to a greater burden on patient's health status and requiring an integrated diagnostic and therapeutic plan.The high prevalence of UAD must be taken into account. Upper and lower airways diseases influence disease control and patient's quality of life. Patients with UAD need to have a timely and adequate diagnosis, treatment, and, when recommended, referral for management in a specialized center. Diagnostic testing including skin prick or serum specific IgE, lung function, fractional exhaled nitric oxide (FeNO), polysomnography, allergen-specific immunotherapies, biological therapies and homebased continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) whenever these are recommended, should be part of the management plan for UAD.Education of medical students, physicians, health professionals, patients and caregivers on the UAD is needed.

“…A total of 24 of the indoor air pollution research articles described exposure to dust. For example, dust was noted as a trigger for allergic rhinitis (Adegbiji et al, 2018) and house dust/dust mite exposure was associated with asthma (Bardei et al, 2016;Flatin et al, 2018). Particulate matter was evaluated in 24 of the indoor air pollution research studies, most focusing on PM10 (Abou-Khadra, 2013;Ibhafidon et al, 2014;Makamure et al, 2016;Jafta et al, 2017;Nkhama et al, 2017;Nkosi et al, 2017;Mentz et al, 2018) and PM2.5 exposures (Oluwole et al, 2013;Chafe et al, 2014;Ibhafidon et al, 2014;Dutta et al, 2017;Lacey et al, 2017;Lin et al, 2017a;Malley et al, 2017;Nkhama et al, 2017;Wylie et al, 2017a;Wylie et al, 2017b;Mentz et al, 2018).…”

The World Health Organization in 2016 estimated that over 20% of the global disease burden and deaths were attributed to modifiable environmental factors. However, data clearly characterizing the impact of environmental exposures and health endpoints in African populations is limited. To describe recent progress and identify important research gaps, we reviewed literature on environmental health research in African populations over the last decade, as well as research incorporating both genomic and environmental factors. We queried PubMed for peer-reviewed research articles, reviews, or books examining environmental exposures and health outcomes in human populations in Africa. Searches utilized medical subheading (MeSH) terms for environmental exposure categories listed in the March 2018 US National Report on Human Exposure to Environmental Chemicals, which includes chemicals with worldwide distributions. Our search strategy retrieved 540 relevant publications, with studies evaluating health impacts of ambient air pollution (n=105), indoor air pollution (n = 166), heavy metals (n = 130), pesticides (n = 95), dietary mold (n = 61), indoor mold (n = 9), per-and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs, n = 0), electronic waste (n = 9), environmental phenols (n = 4), flame retardants (n = 8), and phthalates (n = 3), where publications could belong to more than one exposure category. Only 23 publications characterized both environmental and genomic risk factors. Cardiovascular and respiratory health endpoints impacted by air pollution were comparable to observations in other countries. Air pollution exposures unique to Africa and some other resource limited settings were dust and specific occupational exposures. Literature describing harmful health effects of metals, pesticides, and dietary mold represented a context unique to Africa. Studies of exposures to phthalates, PFASs, phenols, and flame retardants were very limited. These results underscore the need for further focus on current and emerging environmental and chemical health risks as well as better integration of genomic and environmental factors in African research studies. Environmental exposures with distinct routes of exposure, unique co-exposures and co-morbidities, combined with the extensive genomic diversity in Africa may lead to the identification of novel mechanisms underlying complex disease and promising potential for translation to global public health.

“…Recent studies report significant differences over such a short timespan that the findings cannot be explained by genetic changes [67,68,69,70]. Better understanding of the environmental factors that affect the development of atopic disorders and their phenotypic expression could lead to better understanding of their increased prevalence.…”

Aeroallergens occur naturally in the environment and are widely dispersed across Canada, yet their public health implications are not well-understood. This review intends to provide a scientific and public health-oriented perspective on aeroallergens in Canada: their distribution, health impacts, and new developments including the effects of climate change and the potential role of aeroallergens in the development of allergies and asthma. The review also describes anthropogenic effects on plant distribution and diversity, and how aeroallergens interact with other environmental elements, such as air pollution and weather events. Increased understanding of the relationships between aeroallergens and health will enhance our ability to provide accurate information, improve preventive measures and provide timely treatments for affected populations.
