Concepts for the Development of Person-Centered, Digitally Enabled, Artificial ...
Bousquet, Jean; Schünemann, Holger; Sousa-Pinto, Bernardo; Zuberbier, Torsten; Togias, Alkis; Samoliński, Bolesław; Bedbrook, AnnaAbstract The traditional healthcare model is focused on diseases (medicine and natural science) and does not acknowledge patients' resources and abilities to be experts in their own lives based on their lived experiences. Improving healthcare safety, quality, and coordination, as well as quality of life, is an important aim in the care of patients with chronic conditions. Person-centered care needs to ensure th...
Rhinitis associated with asthma is distinct from rhinitis alone: TARIA‐MeDALL h...
Bousquet, Jean; Melén, Erik; Haahtela, Tari; Koppelman, Gerard; Togias, Alkis; Valenta, Rudolf; Akdis, Cezmi; Czarlewski, Wienczyslawa; Rothenberg, MarcAsthma, rhinitis, and atopic dermatitis (AD) are interrelated clinical phenotypes that partly overlap in the human interactome. The concept of “one-airway-one-disease,” coined over 20 years ago, is a simplistic approach of the links between upper- and lower-airway allergic diseases. With new data, it is time to reassess the concept. This article reviews (i) the clinical observations that led to Allergic Rhiniti...
Digitally‐enabled, patient‐centred care in rhinitis and asthma multimorbidity: ...
Bousquet, Jean; Anto, Josep M.; Sousa-Pinto, Bernardo; Czarlewski, Wienczyslawa; Bedbrook, Anna; Haahtela, Tari; Klimek, Ludger; Pfaar, OliverMASK‐air®, a validated mHealth app (Medical Device regulationClass IIa) has enabled large observational implementation studies in over 58,000 people with allergic rhinitis and/or asthma. It can help to address unmet patient needs in rhinitis and asthma care. MASK‐air® is a Good Practice of DG Santé on digitally‐enabled, patient‐centred care. Itis also a candidate Good Practice ofOECD (Organisation for EconomicC...
ARIA-EAACI care pathways for allergen immunotherapy in respiratory allergy
Bousquet, Jean; Pfaar, Oliver; Agache, Ioana; Bedbrook, Anna; Akdis, Cezmi; Canonica, Giorgio Walter; Chivato, Tomas; Al-Ahmad, Mona; Rasib, A. H. AbdulAllergen immunotherapy (AIT), the gradually increasing repeated administration of high doses of allergens to allergic patients, offers the potential for immune tolerance against reactions to the natural exposures to specific allergens. AIT may lead to the long‐lasting remission of allergic symptoms and is the only disease‐modifying intervention in IgE‐mediated allergic respiratory diseases. [...]
Prevalence and clinical features of adverse food reactions in Portuguese adoles...
Lozoya-Ibáñez, Carlos; Morgado-Nunes, Sara; Rodrigues, Alexandra; Fernandes, Patrícia; Lourenço, Olga; Fonseca, Ana Mafalda; Barata, Luís TabordaBackground & aims: The objective of the present study was to determine, for the first time, the prevalence and clinical features of food allergy in Portuguese adolescents. Methods: Cross-sectional study performed in various secondary schools in central Portugal. Randomly selected adolescents replied to a validated food allergy questionnaire. Those who reported an adverse food reaction were seen at participating...
Development of a screening questionnaire for the study of food allergy in adults
Lozoya-Ibáñez, Carlos; Belo, João; Afonso, Rosa Marina; Pereira, Henrique; Rodrigues, Alexandra; Barata, Luís TabordaBackground & aims: As far as we know, no screening questionnaire has been developed and validated for identification of adverse food reactions in Portuguese-speaking adults, as an initial approach towards the investigation of cases of possible food allergy. Thus, the objective of this study was to develop and validate a screening questionnaire of food allergy in adult Portuguesespeaking patients. Methods: This ...

Functional and phenotypic characterization of CD8+CD28+ and CD28- T cells in at...
Lourenço, Olga; Fonseca, A. M.; Paiva, Artur; Arosa, F. A.; Barata, Luís TabordaCD8+ T suppressor cells may play a role in immunoregulation. Recent studies have characterized this population by the lack of the CD28 molecule. These CD8+CD28 T cells differ phenotypically and functionally from CD8 + CD28 + T cells. Little is known about CD8 + CD28 cells in atopy. Our aim was to analyze the phenotype and functional properties of CD8 + CD28T cells in atopic and non-atopic individuals.
