Example: "The doctor diagnosed her with a specific asthma condition that required specialized treatment."
Alternatives: "a particular type of asthma" or "a distinct form of asthma".
Further, we did not limit our study to patients with asthma, since either albuterol or levalbuterol may be similarly administered to children who are wheezing without a specific asthma diagnosis.
Our results regarding the impact of AERD on asthma-specific hospitalizations and/or ED admission are in line with the concept of a specific asthma phenotype.
The occupational exposure assessment was based on crude information on job titles and the overall probability of exposures for each job type was based in a specific asthma JEM.
Testing the effects of genetic and epigenetic variants targeted at a specific asthma-related pathway has the potential to gain a higher statistical power compared to the unbiased approach of investigating the whole genome.
In order to truly have an impact on a more specific asthma diagnosis, modulated treatment and patient's recommendation, these challenges have to be approached in the next decade of asthma research.
The intervention was a disease specific asthma self management programme delivered by the practice nurse or lay educator.
A barrier to pollution specific asthma education is that detailed pollutant-asthma guidance is contingent upon the development of methods to address multi-pollutant mixtures [ 4].
12 Therefore, FENO has a potential in identifying specific asthma phenotypes, which might also allow the prediction of steroid responsiveness due to eosinophilic inflammation.
In summary, the authors found evidence for a potentially etiologic role of irregular menstruations with some specific asthma phenotypes, namely, atopic asthma and atopy, but not with nonatopic asthma.
The sex and age specific asthma prevalence shown in this report indicates either that a considerable part of asthma in childhood disappears before age 7, as shown by others, or that some asthma cases in reality are attacks of wheezy bronchitis (transient wheezing), that cannot be distinguished from asthma other than by following the course [ 9, 30, 31].
Thus, it seems that DNA methylation patterns change significantly in early childhood in specific asthma- and allergy-related genes in peripheral blood cells, and early exposure to farm environment may influence methylation patterns in distinct genes.
