Rhinitis associated with asthma is distinct from rhinitis alone: The ARIA-MeDAL...
Bousquet, J.; Melén, E.; Haahtela, T.; Koppelman, G. H.; Togias, A.; Valenta, R.; Akdis, C. A.; Czarlewski, W.; Rothenberg, M.; Valiulis, A.Asthma, 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...
The Portuguese Severe Asthma Registry: Development, Features, and Data Sharing ...
Sá-Sousa, A.; Fonseca, J.; Pereira, A.; Ferreira, A.; Arrobas, A.; Mendes, A.; Drummond, M.; Videira, W.; Costa, T.; Farinha, P.; Soares, J.; Rocha, P.The Portuguese Severe Asthma Registry (Registo de Asma Grave Portugal, RAG) was developed by an open collaborative network of asthma specialists. RAG collects data from adults and pediatric severe asthma patients that despite treatment optimization and adequate management of comorbidities require step 4/5 treatment according to GINA recommendations. In this paper, we describe the development and implementation ...
ARIA 2016: Care pathways implementing emerging technologies for predictive medi...
Bousquet, J.; Hellings, P. W.; Agache, I.; Bedbrook, A.; Bachert, C.; Bergmann, K. C.; Bewick, M.; Bindslev-Jensen, C.; Bosnic-Anticevitch, S.The Allergic Rhinitis and its Impact on Asthma (ARIA) initiative commenced during a World Health Organization workshop in 1999. The initial goals were (1) to propose a new allergic rhinitis classification, (2) to promote the concept of multi-morbidity in asthma and rhinitis and (3) to develop guidelines with all stakeholders that could be used globally for all countries and populations. ARIA-disseminated and im...
The Influence of Indoor Environments in Respiratory Health and Quality of Life ...
Mendes, A.; Papoila, L.; Carreiro-Martins, P.; Bonassi, S.; Caires, I.,; Palmeiro, T.; Aguiar, L.; Pereira, C.; Neves, P.; Mendes, D.; Botelho, A.Presentation about GERIA Project “Geriatric Study in Portugal on Health Effects of Air Quality in Elderly Care Centers. The aim of GERIA project is to carry out a risk assessment involving: identification of multiple factors potentially affecting health and quality of life; quantification of human exposure to pollutants, and evaluation of the individual’s response to these stimuli.

Environment and Health in Children Day care Centres (ENVIRH) - Study Rationale ...
Araújo-Martins, J.; Carreiro-Martins, P.; Viegas, J.; Aelenei, D.; Cano, M.M.; Teixeira, João Paulo; Paixão, P.; Papoila, A.L.; Leiria-Pinto, P.[ENG] Background: Indoor air quality (IAQ) is considered an important determinant of human health. The association between exposure to volatile organic compounds, particulate matter, house dust mite, molds and bacteria in day care centers (DCC) is not completely clear. The aim of this project was to study these effects. Methods - study design: This study comprised two phases. Phase I included an evaluation of 4...
