There have been countless advances in controller therapies for asthma, but our go-to rescue inhaler, a quick-relief bronchodilator, hasn't changed in decades. In this episode of The Itch Review, we spotlight “As-Needed Albuterol–Budesonide in Mild Asthma” published in The New England Journal of Medicine, May 19, 2025. This article looks at the BATURA trial, which tested whether adding budesonide to albuterol rescue inhalers cuts exacerbations in adults whose mild asthma remains uncontrolled on occasional albuterol/short-acting beta agonist (SABA) therapy. Could this combo inhaler really cut severe asthma attacks in people with mild disease? What we cover in our episode about the BATURA trial: Understanding asthma: In asthma, your airways both tighten up and get swollen. Treating both the tightness and the swelling right when you feel symptoms could stop a full-blown attack. All-online trial: BATURA used telehealth to enroll 2,516 people with mild asthma from across the U.S. and ran the study until it saw a preset number of 172 serious attacks. Big takeaways: The combo inhaler cut serious attacks by almost half, halved yearly flare-ups, and slashed steroid use by 63%. All without people needing to use their medication more often. Why it ended early: An independent safety board reviewed the data mid-trial and concluded that the combo inhaler was so clearly better that it would've been unfair to continue giving anyone the old treatment. What's next: We still need studies on teens and children to ensure that these same benefits hold true for younger patients. GET THE INFOGRAPHIC PDF HERE *** The Itch Review, hosted by Dr. Gupta, Kortney, and Dr. Blaiss, explores the latest allergy and immunology studies, breaking down complex research in conversations accessible to clinicians, patients, and caregivers. Each episode provides key insights from journal articles and includes a one-page infographic in the show notes for easy reference. *** This podcast is made in partnership with The Allergy & Asthma Network.

Die pollenbedingte allergische Rhinitis, vulgo: Heuschnupfen, gilt gemeinhin als Erscheinung unserer Tage und wird nicht selten als Wohlstandskrankheit eingeschätzt, die durch zunehmende Entfremdung von der Natur und übertriebene Hygiene getriggert werde. Tatsächlich mag sie vor einhundert Jahren noch nicht vergleichbar eine Volkskrankheit gewesen sein. In die Zeitung, konkret: ins Pinneberger Tageblatt, fand sie aber auch schon damals, konkret: am 16. Juni 1925, Eingang. Was es mit dem „Heufieber“ auf sich habe, beantwortet der Artikel sehr schnörkellos und argumentiert dabei medizinisch nicht allzu weit entfernt von heutigen Lehrmeinungen. Mit wirksamen Arzneien vermag er zwar noch nicht aufzuwarten, immerhin weiß er aber von Selbsthilfegruppen zu berichten, die sich einer besseren Erforschung des Leidens angenommen hätten. Das Wort hat Rosa Leu.

Host Liz Edwards and Dr. Michael Norvell provide an overview of biologics in this episode of "Let's Clear the Air!" The Allergy, Asthma & Sinus Center began using biologics for asthma in 2010. Since then, biologics have been on a fast path of development. These molecularly engineered products operate on a very small scale and are different from typically prescribed or over-the-counter medicines, which use chemicals to initiate a physical response. Listen to learn more about the superior safety profiles of biologics, their multiple uses within the allergy and asthma specialty, and their proven effectiveness.

In this episode, we're joined by the fearless Ann Whatmore, an adventurer who proves that asthma doesn't have to set limits on what you can achieve. Ann has faced numerous health challenges, but rather than letting them hold her back, she's embraced adventure in a big way. In May 2024, she cycled over 3,000km across the UK on her recumbent e-trike, “Bob,” completing a solo journey from Land's End to Orkney before speaking at Yestival. This was no easy feat – Ann had only a sixth of her lung function available and had to rely on determination, resourcefulness, and a supportive community to make the journey possible. In this episode, Ann shares how she turned her dream into reality, navigating the ups and downs of planning such a massive adventure. She talks about the emotional and physical struggles of living with asthma, how she managed her condition on the road, and the lessons she learned along the way. Whether you're living with a chronic condition, longing for adventure, or simply looking for inspiration to push through your own barriers, Ann's story is one you won't want to miss. Tune in to hear how Ann turned her “limitations” into an opportunity for growth and exploration, proving that the only true limits are the ones we place on ourselves.

Contributor: Travis Barlock, MD Educational Pearls: Wheezing is classically heard in asthma and COPD, but it can be the result of a wide range of processes that cause airflow limitation Narrowed bronchioles lead to turbulent airflow → creates the wheezing Crackles (rales) suggest pulmonary edema which is often due to heart failure Approximately 35% of heart failure patients have bronchial edema, which can also produce wheezing COPD and heart failure can coexist in a patient, and both of these diseases can cause wheezing It's vital to differentiate whether the wheezing is due to the patient's COPD or their heart failure because the treatment differs Diagnosing wheezing due to heart failure (cardiac asthma): Symptoms: orthopnea, paroxysmal nocturnal dyspnea Diagnostic tools: bedside ultrasound Treatment: diuresis and BiPAP for respiratory support Not all wheezing is asthma Consider heart failure in the differential and tailor treatment accordingly References 1.

Asthma is more prevalent in adult women than in adult men. Specifically, data from the National Health Interview Survey (NHIS) indicates that 9.7% of adult women had asthma, compared to 5.5% of adult men. This higher prevalence is observed across various racial and ethnic groups within the adult female population. At the end of April 2025, new population-level data was published (UK) describing an alarming association between progastrin only pills and asthma exacerbations. Is this a new finding? Recently, it seems that there has been a barrage of negative press towards progestin only contraceptives: depo provera and brain tumors, progestin releasing IUS and breast cancer, and the progestin IUS and rosacea. What is happening here?! We'll break it all down in this episode.
In this special episode of Voices of Otolaryngology, developed on behalf of the AAO-HNS Allergy, Asthma, and Immunology Committee, Matthew W. Ryan, MD, talks with Antoine Azar, MD, about how otolaryngologists often see immunodeficiency patients first through recurring infections. Learn about screening techniques, key warning signs, and treatment approaches for conditions affecting up to 23% of chronic sinusitis patients. Discover why collaboration between otolaryngology and immunology specialists is crucial for optimal patient outcomes.
Today, host Rachel Stemerman sits down with two authors of a groundbreaking paper: Ira Harmon and Jennifer Fishe. Their research tackles a significant challenge in emergency medical services: accurately identifying prehospital pediatric asthma exacerbations from complex EMS data. Asthma exacerbations are a common reason for pediatric EMS encounters. Accurately identifying these encounters is crucial for research and quality improvement in prehospital care. However, the nature of asthma symptoms and EMS data makes this difficult. In this episode, Ira and Jennifer will discuss their study, which focused on developing computable phenotypes (CPs) – reusable computer queries that identify specific clinical events using electronic data. They evaluated existing rule-based CPs and developed new ones, including machine learning-based models, using a large dataset of pediatric EMS encounters. Tune in to learn more about this innovative approach to leveraging EMS data for better pediatric care. As always THANK YOU for listening.

Lisa Patel is a pediatrician and an expert in environmental health who says that pollution is taking an increasing toll on children's health. Pollution from wildfires, fossil fuels, and plastics can cause asthma, pneumonia, and risks dementia in the long-term. But, she says, all hope is not lost. Solutions range from DIY air filters to choosing induction stoves over gas, cutting down on meat consumption and plastics use, and pursuing clean energy, among other strategies. If we all take local action, we can solve this problem globally, Patel tells host Russ Altman on this episode of Stanford Engineering's The Future of Everything podcast.Have a question for Russ?

Contributor: Aaron Lessen, MD Educational Pearls: What is a Rescue Inhaler? A rescue inhaler is a medication for people with asthma to quickly reverse the symptoms of an asthma attack. Historically albuterol (Short Acting Beta Agonist (SABA)) monotherapy has been the mainstay rescue inhaler. This is because albuterol works fast and is relatively cheap. What are Combination Rescue Inhalers? Combination rescue inhalers contain a fast-acting bronchodilator as well as an inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) The steroid helps to reduce some of the chronic airway inflammation that is worsening the asthma attack and can help to prevent future attacks Examples include budesonide-formoterol and albuterol-budesonide Global Initiative for Asthma (GINA), states that combination therapy is now the preferred reliever for adults and adolescents with mild asthma What are the drawbacks of Combination Rescue Inhalers? These inhalers are generally more expensive than just using a SABA inhaler which can be a barrier for some people Improper use can also lead to conditions like thrush due to the addition of the steroid References Krings JG, Beasley R.
