This study provides a comprehensive bibliometric analysis of global research on urticaria, aiming to chart its progression, assess its relevance, and explore the roles of oxidative stress, inflammation, and immunity in its pathogenesis. Additionally, by analyzing data from PubMed and Scopus, we mapped research trends, identified leading authors and institutions, and examined global collaboration patterns. We also evaluated the impact of oxidative stress, inflammation, and immunity on urticaria and assessed the roles of both conventional and traditional medicine in its management. The results highlight the evolution of urticaria research, key contributors, thematic developments, and collaborative networks. This study offers a detailed bibliometric profile and thematic map, including insights into effective authors, prominent keywords, and significant research patterns. The findings are valuable for medical researchers, providing an updated overview of current themes and gaps, and are also beneficial for healthcare decision-makers by summarizing relevant information for strategic planning and fostering new collaborations. Additionally, the study integrates biological aspects related to urticaria with insights into traditional treatments, contributing to both research and practical management strategies.

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.
