The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) describes work-related asthma as asthma triggered by exposures at work. The agency goes on to report there are over 300 known substances in the workplace that can cause or worsen asthma. Symptoms of work-related asthma are the same as those for non-work related ...
Despite treatment with current standard-of-care ICS and bronchodilators, these children may continue to experience serious symptoms such as coughing, wheezing and difficulty breathing. Severe asthma may impact children's developing airways and cause potentially life-threatening exacerbations. ...
Under the agreement, Siolta will provide both samples and insights into key criteria for Bio-Me to develop a rapid, detailed and comprehensive diagnostic test for infants at risk of developing allergy and asthma. ...

(“AOBiome”), a leading clinical-stage microbiome company focusing on the research and development of therapeutics for dermatological conditions, migraine, hypertension and other systemic diseases, today announced the administering of its lead product candidate, B244, to the first patient in the Company’s Phase 1b clinical trial to treat pediatric patients with ...
For those asthmatics, this would be a form of work-related asthma. Work-related asthma is a lung disease that can cause a shortness of breath, chest tightness, coughing and wheezing after exposure to an allergen or irritant at work. ...
The revised standards will significantly improve public health protection, resulting in fewer premature deaths, and thousands fewer missed school and work days and asthma attacks. For people with lung diseases like COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease) or the 23 million Americans and 6 million children living with asthma, these effects can aggravate their ...
Create an asthma action plan. An asthma action plan will help you monitor your asthma daily and will offer steps to reduce your exposure to your personal triggers through effective control strategies. ...
On World Asthma Day 2015, the National Institutes of Health stands with the international community to renew our commitment to advance our understanding of asthma and develop effective strategies to manage and prevent the disease. ...
Environmental Protection Agency has awarded a $600,000 grant to the Public Health Institute’s Regional Asthma Management & Prevention (RAMP), in Oakland, Calif. to help school-based health centers across the country prevent and manage environmental asthma triggers for children. ...
Children born to mothers exposed during pregnancy to higher levels of the chemicals, butylbenzyl phthalate (BBzP) and di-n-butyl phthalate (DnBP) had a 72 percent and 78 percent increase in risk of developing asthma between age 5 and 11, respectively, compared with children of mothers with lower levels of exposure, the researchers found. "Everyone from parents ...
Understanding these cells and how they respond to environmental triggers offers the potential to develop improved therapies that target specific types of asthma. Research and Risk Factors NHLBI supports a broad asthma research portfolio that includes studies on risk factors, mechanisms of disease susceptibility and severity, ...
Last year, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) published an article entitled, “Household Molds Linked to Childhood Asthma.” The article discusses three species of mold that were more commonly found in homes of babies that would eventually develop asthma. ...
Ongoing efforts include: NHLBI’s clinical research network is examining different responses to asthma medications among African-Americans. The recently launched Consortium on Asthma among African-ancestry Populations in the Americas is developing a powerful gene chip to identify genes driving asthma disparities in this ...
Research has shown that children who are exposed to VOCs are up to four times more likely to develop asthma—a chronic, life-threatening disease responsible for roughly 14 million missed school days each year—than children who aren't exposed. And, because their brains, lungs, and other vital organs are still developing, children are ...
The Cincinnati Childhood Allergy and Air Pollution Study found that exposure to mold in the home during a child’s infancy greatly increased the risk of developing asthma. In fact, there was a threefold increased rate of developing asthma in children by the age of 7 when they were raised in homes with mold. This is not ...
Environmental Protection Agency has awarded more than $1 million to the University of Pittsburgh to conduct a study designed to increase the quality of life for children who live in underserved communities and suffer from asthma. Scientists at the University of Pittsburgh and other institutions will coordinate efforts to determine and understand the effects of air pollution on ...
A study just published online in the Annals of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology discusses how mold exposure may contribute to the development of childhood asthma. The study was developed to help determine if mold exposures at an early age will lead to the development of asthma. ...
The results of this study showed that the 2009 pandemic H1N1 influenza virus vaccine is safe and can produce appropriate antibody levels in people with asthma. The NHLBI is exploring ways to prevent asthma from developing, including an ongoing study examining whether vitamin D supplements given to pregnant women could prevent their children from ...
