Precision medicine to personalize medicine in allergic airway disease
1Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, Department of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery, Division of Rhinology, Department of Medicine, Division of Allergy and Clinical Immunology, Baltimore, Maryland, USA.
Purpose Of Review:
The purpose of this study is to understand the approach to precision medicine and personalized medicine in the management of allergic airway disease.
Recent Findings:
Identification of biomarkers as key tools used in precision medicine has led to the development of multiple biologic drugs being used as new treatments for allergic airway disease.
Summary:
In addition to these advances, there is still much needed effort to improve the feasibility and utility of integrating biologic omics data of precision medicine with physicochemical, behavioral, psychological, and social data to deliver optimized treatments that is personalized for each individual.

Antiasthma Drugs: Mast Cell Stabilizers and Anti-IgE Drugs
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: 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.
