Allergic diseases and asthma: a global public health concern and a call to action

TL;DR: In this article, the association between breastfeeding and childhood allergic disease was systematically reviewed and a meta-regression was performed for categories of breastfeeding and allergic outcomes, including asthma and allergic rhinitis.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors quantify the impact of climate change on pollen allergy in a large-scale study and show that it is a major public health problem, but a fundamental unknown is the likely impact of such changes.

TL;DR: Development of allergies, particularly respiratory allergies, is associated with increased fecal abundance of R gnavus, and was associated with respiratory allergies or respiratory allergies coexistent with atopic eczema.

TL;DR: It is argued that an exposome perspective integrating internal and external microbiomes with macro‐level environmental factors can provide a more comprehensive framework to define how environmental exposures can shape the gut microbiome and influence the development of allergic disease.

TL;DR: It is possible to reduce the morbidity of asthma and its impact on individuals as well as on society and improvements would have taken place without the programme, but not of this magnitude.

TL;DR: It is proposed that biodiversity, the variability among living organisms from all sources are closely related, at both the macro- and micro- Levels, and loss of the macrodiversity is associated with shrinking of the microdiversity, which is associatedwith alterations of the indigenous microbiota.

TL;DR: The results suggest that wheezing is a significant cause of morbidity among children in rural Bangladesh and greater efforts are needed to prevent pneumonia among children during their infancy to reduce the chances of subsequent development of wheazing.

TL;DR: Asthma interventions that include the use of guideline-recommended inhaled corticosteroid therapy and patient and caregiver education in asthma management may help to reduce asthma morbidity in children and decrease the substantial costs of pediatric asthma.
