Summary
Allergic diseases are rising globally, often appearing together in patients. Understanding these allergy comorbidities and multimorbidities is crucial for better treatment and public health strategies.
Area of Science:
- Immunology
- Public Health
- Epidemiology
Background:
- Global increase in allergic disease prevalence linked to industrialization, environmental changes, diet, and allergen exposure.
- Allergic diseases pose a significant challenge to global public health.
- Co-occurrence of allergic rhinitis, allergic asthma, and atopic dermatitis in single patients is increasingly common.
Purpose of the Study:
- To review research progress on allergy comorbidity and multimorbidity.
- To highlight the significance of understanding these complex allergic conditions.
- To inform prevention and treatment strategies for allergic diseases.
Main Methods:
- Literature review of existing research on allergy comorbidities and multimorbidities.
- Analysis of trends in the prevalence and impact of co-existing allergic conditions.
- Synthesis of current understanding regarding the mechanisms underlying allergy multimorbidity.
Main Results:
- Allergic comorbidities and multimorbidities complicate treatment and recovery.
- These conditions significantly impair patients' quality of life.
- There is a growing burden on social medical insurance due to complex allergic diseases.
Conclusions:
- Understanding the mechanisms of allergy comorbidities and multimorbidities is vital for both prevention and treatment.
- Clinical attention to the phenomenon of co-existing allergic diseases is needed.
- This review provides a reference for developing effective prevention and treatment strategies.

01:26Asthma-II: Pathophysiology and Classification
2.8K
Asthma is a prevalent chronic respiratory condition marked by inflammation and hyperresponsiveness of the airways. Its pathophysiology involves complex interactions among inflammatory pathways, immune responses, and neural mechanisms.
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, a common chronic respiratory condition, is classified considering the frequency and severity of symptoms alongside lung function impairment. Understanding this classification is essential for appropriate treatment and management. Here's a detailed look at the classification of asthma and its clinical features and complications:

Allergic reactions related to drugs are hypersensitivity responses driven by the immune system and bear no connection to the drug's therapeutic action. While drugs in isolation do not trigger an immune response, they can interact with endogenous proteins to form antigens. These antigens stimulate lymphocytes to produce antibodies. IgE-type antibodies attach themselves to mast cells. Upon subsequent exposure to the same stimulus, the antigen-antibody interaction is initiated, unleashing...

01:25Antiasthma Drugs: Mast Cell Stabilizers and Anti-IgE Drugs
431
Asthma is a chronic respiratory condition for which new therapeutic avenues, including anti-inflammatory drugs like mast cell stabilizers and anti-IgE treatments, continue to be developed.
Mast cell stabilizers, such as cromolyn (also known as sodium cromoglycate) and nedocromil (Tilade), are effective drugs in asthma management. These stabilizers hinder histamine release by skillfully obstructing the activation of mast cells and other cellular entities. Notably, they navigate this task without...

Asthma is a chronic pulmonary condition involving inflammation of the airways, hyper-reactivity, and reversible obstruction of the airways. This condition can significantly impact a person's quality of life, making breathing difficult and leading to distressing symptoms.
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.
