About 72.1% of the patients reported daytime symptoms, 65.1% of the patients reported night-time symptoms, 70.9% of the patients required frequent usage of rescue inhalers and 72.1% of the patients reported some limitation in their activity prior to the current asthma exacerbation. Almost a ...
Optimal assessment and management of exacerbations, including appropriate escalation of interventions, are essential to minimize morbidity and prevent mortality. While inhaled albuterol and systemic corticosteroids are the mainstay of exacerbation management, escalation may include interventions discussed in this...

(e.g., during an asthma exacerbation) can result in severe, life-threatening fetal hypoxia61. It is, therefore, vital that pregnant women (and women who are thinking of becoming pregnant) are educated on taking their asthma medications as prescribed and have a plan for managing exacerbations62...
In this study, we use an asthma exacerbation mouse model to characterize the mechanisms underlying virus-induced acute asthma exacerbations. Our data show that the expression of CUL5 is increased in alveolar macrophages in the context of the asthmatic microenvironment. Notably, the upregulated CUL5...
