Abstract:
Studies of the prevalence of atopic dermatitis (AD) have provided insights into associated environmental risk factors, demonstrating the complex interactions between the presence of filaggrin (FLG) gene defects and environment. Among other important findings is that elevated transepidermal water loss (TEWL) in newborns is a strong predictor of AD, regardless of FLG status. Recently recognized predictors of disease course and severity include onset of AD signs and symptoms before 12 months of age and the presence of an FLG mutation and concomitant immunoglobulin E sensitization early in life.

Asthma-II: Pathophysiology and Classification
Additionally, environmental and genetic factors play crucial roles in determining an individual's susceptibility to asthma and the severity of their condition.
Critical processes in asthma pathophysiology include:
Asthma: Pathogenesis and Management
Asthma is classified as allergic and non-allergic. Allergens such as dust mites, pollen, and pet dander trigger allergic asthma, while factors like cold air, intense emotions, or exercise can induce non-allergic asthma.
COPD: Pathogenesis and Clinical Features
The primary cause for the onset of COPD is cigarette smoking and exposure to air pollution. These hazardous factors initiate a chain reaction within the lungs, resulting in chronic inflammation, damage to the airways, and a...
