Purpose Of Review:
This review aims to raise awareness of the Allergic Rhinitis and its Impact on Asthma (ARIA) and European Forum for Research and Education in Allergy and Airway Disease (EUFOREA) guidelines for allergic rhinitis (AR) by presenting a side-by-side summary of their key elements. Drawing on the authors' direct involvement in the development of both, it highlights their evolution toward precision medicine and patient-centred care to support stronger doctor-patient partnerships.
Recent Findings:
Both ARIA and EUFOREA offer evidence-based guidance to support AR management, with increasing emphasis on personalisation and digital integration. While aligned in goals, they differ in patient classification, treatment delivery, and implementation strategies. Barriers to real-world use include the need for contextual adaptation, targeted education for healthcare providers and patients, and inconsistent alignment between guideline-based prescriptions and patient behaviour. Mobile health (mHealth) tools offer valuable support but require sustained engagement. Greater awareness of these guidelines can improve implementation, harmonise treatment approaches, and ultimately enhance care delivery and outcomes for individuals with AR.

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.
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...
