Distinction between rhinovirus ‐induced acute asthma and asthma‐augmented influenza infection
Conclusions and Clinical relevanceIn children with respiratory symptoms and/or fever, RV but not IFV is associated with wheeze and an asthma‐like presentation. In those with an asthma history, IFV causes more generalised and severe disease that may be better described as ‘asthma‐augmented influenza’ rather than an ‘asthma attack’. Differences in the acute conditions caused by these viruses should be considered in the design of epidemiological studies.This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.

Eosinophil ‐derived exosomes contribute to asthma remodelling by activating structural lung cells
Conclusions and Clinical RelevanceEosinophil‐derived exosomes from asthmatic patients participate actively in the development of the pathological features of asthma via structural lung cells.This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved. (Source: Clinical and Experimental Allergy)

The Effects of a CCR3 Inhibitor, AXP1275, on Allergen ‐Induced Airway Responses in Adults with Mild‐to‐Moderate Atopic Asthma
Conclusions & Clinical RelevanceAXP1275 50 mg administered daily was safe and well tolerated, and there was no difference in the type, severity, or frequency of treatment‐emergent adverse events in subjects while receiving AXP1275 compared to placebo. AXP1275 increased the methacholine PC20 however the low and variable exposure to APX1275 over a short treatment period may have contributed to poor efficacy on other outcomes.This article is protected by copyright.

Influence of peanut matrix on stability of allergens in gastric ‐simulated digesta: 2S albumins are main contributors to the IgE‐reactivity of short digestion resistant peptides
Conclusion and Clinical RelevancePeanut grain digestion by oral and gastric phase enzymes generates mixture of products, where the major peanut allergens remain intact and their digested peptides have preserved allergenic capacity highlighting their important roles in allergic reactions to peanut.This article is protected by copyright.

Environmental peanut exposure increases the risk of peanut sensitization in high risk children
ConclusionsHigher levels of environmental exposure to peanut in the first few months of life appear to increase the probability of developing school age peanut sensitization in atopic children (based on egg sensitization and parental atopy).This article is protected by copyright.

Obese Asthmatics are Characterised by Altered Adipose Tissue Macrophage Activation
This study aimed to quantify and immuno‐phenotype adipose tissue macrophages (ATMs) from obese asthmatics and obese non‐asthmatics, and to examine associations between adipose tissue, systemic and airway inflammation. Visceral (VAT) and sub‐cutaneous (SAT) adipose tissue were collected from obese adults undergoing bariatric surgery and processed to obtain the stromovascular fraction. Pro‐ (M1) and anti‐inflammatory (M2) macrophages were quantified by flow cytometry. Cytospins of induced sputum were stained for differential cell counts. Plasma C reactive protein (CRP) and CD163 were measured by ELISA. VAT containe...

Step ‐down of inhaled corticosteroids in non‐eosinophilic asthma: a prospective trial in real life
Conclusions & Clinical RelevanceWithdrawing or reducing the dose of ICS is feasible in two thirds of non‐eosinophilic asthmatics irrespective of baseline asthma control. An elevated blood eosinophil count may predict the failure to stop ICS.This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved. (Source: Clinical and Experimental Allergy)
