Asthma development and exacerbation have been linked with indoor exposures to animal dander, mold and moisture, cockroach, environmental tobacco smoke (ETS), and house dust mite [ Institute of Medicine (IOM) 2000].
For example, reduced HDAC activity has been linked with steroid-resistant neutrophilic airway inflammation in a mouse OVA model simulating an acute asthma exacerbation (Ito et al., 2008).
We also assessed whether high concentrations of flagellin may be linked with pulmonary exacerbations i.e. acute worsening of CF symptoms caused by infection and that lead to the need for additional antibiotic treatment [ 7].
The health effects widely considered to be linked with wildfire smoke include exacerbation of preexisting respiratory conditions such as asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), reduced lung function, chest pain, and general symptoms such as eye irritation, fatigue, headache, dizziness, and stress.
Mold in damp indoor conditions can be linked with "a wide range of respiratory health effects, including asthma development, asthma exacerbation, current asthma, respiratory infections, upper respiratory tract symptoms, cough, wheeze and dyspnoea," according to the World Health Organization.
The reality is that short-term exposures on the order of days to weeks are linked with serious adverse health effects, like increases in premature mortality, aggravation of existing respiratory and cardiovascular disease, and increases in asthma exacerbation.
Cohesion is linked with solidarity.
Surgery has been linked to exacerbation in some patients.
Infection with Epstein-Barr virus in adolescent CF patients has been linked to exacerbations and poor clinical outcomes, and has also been observed in adults [41].
Ozone damages the lungs and has been linked to asthma exacerbation and other lung problems.
