ARIA digital anamorphosis : Digital transformation of health and care in airway diseases from research to practice
- 2021
-
In: Allergy. European Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology. - : John Wiley & Sons. - 0105-4538 .- 1398-9995. ; 76:1, s. 168-190

Research review (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Digital anamorphosis is used to define a distorted image of health and care that may be viewed correctly using digital tools and strategies. MASK digital anamorphosis represents the process used by MASK to develop the digital transformation of health and care in rhinitis. It strengthens the ARIA change management strategy in the prevention and management of airway disease. The MASK strategy is based on validated digital tools. Using the MASK digital tool and the CARAT online enhanced clinical framework, solutions for practical steps of digital enhancement of care are proposed.

Important research questions in allergy and related diseases: 3-chronic rhinosinusitis and nasal polyposis - a GA(2)LEN study
- 2009
-
In: Allergy. - : Wiley. - 1398-9995 .- 0105-4538. ; 64:4, s. 520-533
-
Research review (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Chronic rhinosinusitis is one of the most common health care challenges, with significant direct medical costs and severe impact on lower airway disease and general health outcomes. The diagnosis of chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) currently is based on clinical signs, nasal endoscopy and CT scanning, and therapeutic recommendations are focussing on 2 classes of drugs, corticosteroids and antibiotics. A better understanding of the pathogenesis and the factors amplifying mucosal inflammation therefore seems to be crucial for the development of new diagnostic and therapeutic tools. In an effort to extend knowledge in this area, the WP 2.7.2 of the GA(2)LEN network of excellence currently collects data and samples of 1000 CRS patients and 250 control subjects. The main objective of this project is to characterize patients with upper airway disease on the basis of clinical parameters, infectious agents, inflammatory mechanisms and remodeling processes. This collaborative research will result in better knowledge on patient phenotypes, pathomechanisms, and subtypes in chronic rhinosinusitis. This review summarizes the state of the art on chronic rhinosinusitis and nasal polyposis in different aspects of the disease. It defines potential gaps in the current research, and points to future research perspectives and targets.

Genetic predisposition for beta cell fragility underlies type 1 and type 2 diabetes
- 2016
-
In: Nature Genetics. - : Springer Science and Business Media LLC. - 1546-1718 .- 1061-4036. ; 48, s. 519-527
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Type 1 (T1D) and type 2 (T2D) diabetes share pathophysiological characteristics, yet mechanistic links have remained elusive. T1D results from autoimmune destruction of pancreatic beta cells, whereas beta cell failure in T2D is delayed and progressive. Here we find a new genetic component of diabetes susceptibility in T1D non-obese diabetic (NOD) mice, identifying immune-independent beta cell fragility. Genetic variation in Xrcc4 and Glis3 alters the response of NOD beta cells to unfolded protein stress, enhancing the apoptotic and senescent fates. The same transcriptional relationships were observed in human islets, demonstrating the role of beta cell fragility in genetic predisposition to diabetes.

EUFOREA summit in Brussels 2023 : inspiring the future of allergy & respiratory care
- 2023
-
In: Frontiers in Allergy. - 2673-6101. ; 4
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- In March 2023, the European Forum for Research and Education in Allergy and Airways diseases (EUFOREA) organized its bi-annual Summit in Brussels with expert panel members of EUFOREA, representatives of the EUFOREA patient advisory board, and the EUFOREA board and management teams. Its aim was to define the research, educational and advocacy initiatives to be developed by EUFOREA over the next 2 years until the 10th anniversary in 2025. EUFOREA is an international non-for-profit organization forming an alliance of all stakeholders dedicated to reducing the prevalence and burden of chronic allergic and respiratory diseases via research, education, and advocacy. Based on its medical scientific core competency, EUFOREA offers an evidence-supported platform to introduce innovation and education in healthcare leading to optimal patient care, bridging the gap between latest scientific evidence and daily practice. Aligned with the mission of improving health care, the expert panels of asthma, allergic rhinitis (AR), chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) & European Position Paper on Rhinosinusitis and Nasal Polyps (EPOS), allergen immunotherapy (AIT) and paediatrics have proposed and elaborated a variety of activities that correspond to major unmet needs in the allergy and respiratory field. The current report provides a concise overview of the achievements, ambitions, and action plan of EUFOREA for the future, allowing all stakeholders in the allergy and respiratory field to be up-dated and inspired to join forces in Europe and beyond.

Benefits and harm of systemic steroids for short- and long-term use in rhinitis and rhinosinusitis: an EAACI position paper
- 2020
-
In: Clinical and translational allergy. - : Wiley. - 2045-7022. ; 10:1, s. 1-
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Because of the inflammatory mechanisms of most chronic upper airway diseases such as rhinitis and chronic rhinosinusitis, systemic steroids have been used for their treatment for decades. However, it has been very well documented that—potentially severe—side-effects can occur with the accumulation of systemic steroid courses over the years. A consensus document summarizing the benefits of systemic steroids for each upper airway disease type, as well as highlighting the potential harms of this treatment is currently lacking. Therefore, a panel of international experts in the field of Rhinology reviewed the available literature with the aim of providing recommendations for the use of systemic steroids in treating upper airway disease.

Surgery in Nasal Polyp Patients: Outcome After a Minimum Observation of 10 Years
- 2021
-
In: American journal of rhinology & allergy. - : SAGE Publications. - 1945-8932 .- 1945-8924. ; 35:4, s. 449-457
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) often requires surgery, but recurrence even after surgery is common. Recurrence rates largely vary in literature and asthma seems to be a comorbid factor. Objective In this study, we aim to estimate disease recurrence during a long-term follow-up, together with the investigation of possible predicting and/or influencing parameters. Methods Out of 196 patients operated for CRSwNP between 01/2000 and 01/2006, 133 patients had a follow-up of at least 10 years and could be included. The inflammatory profile at surgery was determined on nasal tissue and sinonasal secretions, and included analysis of eosinophils, eosinophilic-rich mucus (ERM) typically containing Charcot-Leyden crystals (CLC), and fungal hyphae (FH). During follow-up, recurrence, received treatments and comorbidities were collected. Results Out of the 133 included patients, local eosinophilia was present in 81% and ERM in 60%. Recurrence during follow-up was observed in 62%, and was associated with local eosinophilia and ERM (both p < 0.001). Asthma was present in 28% at inclusion, and 17% developed asthma after surgery during follow-up. The presence of asthma, at inclusion as well as developed during follow-up, was significantly associated with recurrence of CRSwNP (p = 0.001 for group comparison). Conclusion Recurrence after CRSwNP surgery is common when a long-term follow-up is taken into account. ERM detected in sinonasal secretions at surgery seems to be a predictive factor for recurrence and need for revision surgery. Asthma is a frequently found comorbid factor in CRSwNP, develops even at higher age despite surgical treatment for CRSwNP, and is also associated with a higher recurrence rate. Sustained medical care after surgery is mandatory.
