Gut bacteria may protect children from asthma, study says
Four types of gut bacteria may prevent children from developing asthma if they acquire the microorganisms before the third month of life, a study published by the journal Science Translational Medicine said.
Research conducted at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, Canada, may lead to the development of probiotic treatments for infants, and to a protocol to predict which babies are at risk of ending up with asthma.....

Ohio bill would let schools, camps stock asthma inhalers
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) - An Ohio bill would let schools and camps keep a supply of asthma inhalers not prescribed to specific patients in case of emergencies.
The measure passed the state Senate on a unanimous vote Wednesday. The House also has passed the bill but would have to sign off on the Senate’s technical changes before the legislation goes to the governor.....

Early microbiome composition influences later asthma risk in children
By sampling the gut microbiome early in life, researchers have shown that four types of commensal microbes, and the metabolites those microbes produced, were present at lower levels in children at high risk of developing asthma when those children were 3 months old.
By the time the high-risk cohort had turned 1, the microbiome had caught up with that of normal-risk children. The risk of developing asthma, however, appeared to remain elevated.....

Research reveals evidence of ‘thunderstorm asthma’ in Canberra
Research by The Australian National University (ANU) into pollen in Canberra has provided the first evidence that the region is prone to a phenomenon known as 'thunderstorm asthma'.
The findings come from research collected through the Canberra Pollen app, which begins its second year of delivering daily counts and forecasts of pollen levels to users from 1 October.....

Life-Threatening Asthma
Background: Acute severe asthma or status asthmaticus refers to an episode of bronchoconstriction that is unresponsive to standard management. Patients with acute severe asthma will present with significant respiratory distress and it is critical to rapidly treat them to avoid significant morbidity and mortality. Patients will present with tachypnea, retractions, diaphoresis, ability to only speak 1-2 words at a time, abdominal breathing, cold extremeties. and wheezing (although the most severe may have a “quiet chest” indicating the absence of any significant air entry).....

Probiotic friendly bacteria may play role in stopping asthma
"'Good bacteria' key to stopping asthma," says BBC News.
Before you go out and buy a year's supply of probiotic yoghurt drinks, it's worth noting a few points that burst the hype bubble.
The news is based on research that found that the lack of some types of bacteria in babies' guts affected their later chances of asthma. However, this was only the case for three-month-olds so the effect, if it exists, is likely to be time-limited.....

New Survey Reveals True Impact of Severe Asthma on People's Lives
Boston Scientific today revealed results of a comprehensive survey which shows the true burden of severe asthma and the daily challenges faced by people with asthma in Europe. Uncovering Asthma, a survey of over 850 people with severe asthma from across Europe, has found that severe asthma affects a quarter of the respondents on a daily basis, with a staggering 71% feeling the negative effects weekly. While the respondents identified their social life (32%) as the aspect which is most affected by their asthma, many also mention their working life (23%), family life (18%) and their sex life (17%) as being affected too[1]. Leading asthma experts are now calling for urgent action on how people living with severe asthma are cared for across Europe.....
