Indolent Systemic Mastocytosis (ISM) is a rare but often underrecognized clonal mast cell disorder. From random hives to gut pain and brain fog, ISM can feel like a medical mystery. We continue our review of “Management of indolent mastocytosis and mast cell activation syndrome - A clinical yardstick,” published in June 2025 in The Annals of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology. This is Part 2 of our discussion, with a focus on indolent systemic mastocytosis. We look at what causes it, how it's diagnosed, and how to manage symptoms and improve quality of life. In this episode, we break down this complex mast cell disease and how doctors use baseline serum tryptase, KIT D816V testing, and HaT screening to find answers. Plus, we explain how treatments like antihistamines, mast cell stabilizers, and avapritinib can help people live better with ISM.

The updated NICE guidance on asthma is ‘absolutely superb', advanced nurse practitioner Beverely (Bev) Bostock tells Dawn Liz Powell in this episode of the Clinical Update podcast. She explains that the guidance could help to improve asthma outcomes in the UK. ‘We're right at the top of the league for poor outcomes with asthma, and I suspect that that's about to change because we've finally taken on the approach that has been used in other countries,' Bev adds.She also talks about identifying occupational asthma, the diagnosis and management of COPD, the NHS lung cancer screening programme, and the need to keep the lungs clear of sputum in people with bronchiectasis.You can access the website version of this podcast, along with a list of key learning points, on MIMS Learning — and make notes for your appraisal.

"What is your understanding of your father's illness?" This is the kind of question that may be posed by emergency clinicians in the context of end-of-life care. But as a survey of Thai and American emergency departments finds, approaches to these conversations can be quite different globally. This episode also features another angle on end-of-life care, highlighting the persistent impact that deprivation has when it comes to likelihood of hospital conveyance. On a different subject, there is a qualitative study of the management of acute asthma presentations, seeking to find any marginal gains that may present a chance for optimisation. The fourth and final paper is about acute coronary syndromes in the emergency department, presenting some surprising statistics on length of stay. Read the highlights: September 2025 primary survey Deprivation is associated with hospital conveyance among patients who are terminally ill Are acute asthma presentations to the emergency department an opportunity for optimising long-term management?

According to the HSE, around 450,000 people have doctor-diagnosed asthma in Ireland. In 2022, 87 people in Ireland died from asthma, that is a 36% increase on the average of the previous two years…The UK's National Review of Asthma deaths found that over two thirds of asthma deaths involved potentially avoidable factors. While Ireland has not yet conducted a comparable national review, many of the same system-level failures are likely at play.Mold and dampness in homes not only affect those with asthma, but it can cause other illnesses. Could our homes be causing us to get sick?Joining Andrea to discuss is Professor Marcus Butler, Consultant in Respiratory Medicine at St Vincent's Hospital, Siobhan O'Neill White from mams.ie, CEO of the Asthma Society of Ireland, Eilís Ní Chaithnía and more.

Mast cell activation syndrome (MCAS) is a confusing and often misunderstood condition. If you've ever wondered about MCAS symptoms, serum tryptase testing, or how treatments like antihistamines, sodium cromolyn, and even omalizumab fit in, this episode is here to help. We review the findings from “Management of indolent mastocytosis and mast cell activation syndrome - A clinical yardstick,” published in June 2025 in The Annals of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology. Because the paper covers both diseases, we've split it into two parts. This episode focuses on mast cell activation syndrome (MCAS). GET THE INFOGRAPHIC - summary of this episode What we cover in our episode about mast cell activation syndrome: Yardsticks explained: Why the ACAAI uses yardsticks as practical, interim guidelines before full consensus statements are available. Classifying mast cell disorders: Primary (clonal), secondary (allergy/autoimmune), and idiopathic (MCAS). MCAS diagnosis criteria: Symptoms in 2 or more organ systems, objective evidence (serum tryptase or urinary metabolites tests), and positive response to therapy. Treatment strategies: Include trigger avoidance, H1/H2 antihistamines, leukotriene blockers, mast cell stabilizers (such as cromolyn and aspirin), off-label biologics like omalizumab, and epinephrine. Neuropsychiatric symptoms: Brain fog, anxiety, and depression are common and require multidisciplinary management. The Itch Review, hosted by Dr. Gupta, Kortney, and Dr. Blaiss, explores 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. Made in partnership with The Allergy & Asthma Network.

Over 50 million Americans suffer from a range of frustrating allergy symptoms from hay fever to asthma, hives to sinusitis. Many have tried medications, visited allergists, and used various treatments, desperate to find a reliable way to alleviate their pain, but just can't seem to get the dependable relief they need. Now, one of New York's top allergists, Dr. Dean Mitchell, lifts the cloud of mystery surrounding allergies and offers a breakthrough new treatment program that will dramatically lessen their severity, if not cure them for good. In Dr. Dean Mitchell's Allergy and Asthma Solution, Mitchell clearly and comprehensively explains what allergies are, why they are so prevalent, and all of the standard treatments. He then presents a cutting edge 5-step program for reversing allergies called sublingual immunotherapy, or "allergy drops." This new treatment, widely accepted in Europe but still relatively unknown in the United States, is painless, convenient, incredibly effective, and completely safe since it works naturally through the body's immune system. Even better, it can be customized to meet specific needs, is shot-free, and can be self-administered. Dr. Dean Mitchell's Allergy and Asthma Solution is the best guide to understanding allergies and overcoming their symptoms.Dean Mitchell, MD, is the leading expert in sublingual allergy immunotherapy in the United States. He had been in practice for seven years following the conventional methods of allergy cures when he first learned of sublingual allergy immunotherapy (allergy drops) and has been one of its strongest proponents. He now runs a private practice, Ocean Allergy & Nutrition, in Manhattan. Dr. Mitchell's patients come from all over the US to receive his treatments. He is a fellow of the American College of Allergy, Asthma, and Immunology and is a member of the Joint Council of Allergy and Immunology.For ten years he was a clinical instructor of medicine at Columbia College of Physicians and Surgeons. He graduated from Brown University in 1982 and received his MD from the Sackler School of Medicine at Tel Aviv University in 1986. He lives in Long Island with his wife and two sons. When he's not busy with his patients, he enjoys playing baseball with his kids.https://www.mitchellmedicalgroup.com/about/dr-dean-mitchell/?utm_source=google&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=gmb_dean?utm_source=GMB&utm_medium=DeanBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/earth-ancients--2790919/support.
Atemwegserkrankungen werden häufig diagnostiziert in der Tiermedizin. Bei katzen Schnupfen und Asthma, bei Hunden insbesonders ein potentiell gefährlicher Lungenarterienwurm. Haustiere können wie Menschen auch Probleme mit den Atemwegen haben. Die bekannteste Atemwegserkrankungen bei Hunden sind wohl der Zwingerhusten und ein Lungenarterienwurm. Bei Katzen ist es der Katzenschnupfen. Gefährlicher Lungenwurm In der Schweiz stecken sich immer wieder Hunde mit dem gefährlichen Lungenwurm (Angiostrongylus vasorum) an. Überträger sind Schnecken, die im Gras sitzen oder an Grashalmen kleben. Wenn Hunde Schnecken oder Gras fressen, können sie sich mit dem Lungenwurm infizieren. Gezüchtetes Atemproblem Bei kurznasigen Hunde-Rassen wie dem Mops oder einzelnen Bulldoggen verursachen anatomische und damit verknüpft funktionelle Probleme der oberen Atemwege Atemnot und eine gestörte Thermoregulation. Einige dieser Probleme lassen sich nur chirurgisch in Kombination mit einer Medikamentengabe behandeln.

For most people, asthma is a disease you manage with inhalers, pills, and a prayer that the ER isn't your next stop. But new research is upending that view and changing everything we know about managing the condition. The big shift? Medication alone might be the least effective way to manage this chronic condition. Asthma is, after all, inflammatory by nature, but the lifestyle choices that fuel or fight inflammation are often ignored in traditional care plans. What if the real triggers aren't just pollen or pets, but processed food, poor sleep, and unchecked anxiety? And what if healing asthma requires more than bronchodilators, like learning how to breathe all over again? So what does a truly modern, whole-person approach to asthma look like? In this episode, I'm joined by Dr. Atoosa Kourosh, an Asthma, Allergy & Immunology consultant physician and integrative medicine leader who's spent two decades treating asthma from every angle, not just the pharmaceutical one. We dive into what the latest science says about lifestyle as medicine, and how breathwork, nutrition, exercise, and gut health are changing the game for asthma patients everywhere. Things You'll Learn In This Episode Why your exhale matters more than your inhale Most asthma patients struggle more with getting air out than in. What do breathing techniques like Buteyko and Papworth do that traditional deep breathing doesn't, and how can they rewire the lungs for better control? Can a Mediterranean diet reduce airway inflammation? Forget calorie counting. How do whole foods, fiber, and fermented veggies change your lung health through your gut? How obesity triggers two kinds of asthma dysfunction What's the double whammy effect of body fat on asthmatic lungs? The cortisol-microbiome-asthma triangle What happens to your microbiome when you miss a night of sleep? Guest Bio Dr. Atoosa Kourosh, MD, MPH, RYT, is a physician, board-certified in Pediatrics, Asthma, Allergy & Immunology, and Public Health. She's also a patient health advocate. Dr. Kourosh combines treatment modalities from cutting-edge and mainstream medicine with the best of functional and integrative medicine therapies and traditional philosophies to treat the whole person in their environment.

Debi Mitchell's son Austin was diagnosed with Stage 3 Acute T Cell Lymphoblastic Non Hodgkins Lymphoma in 2021 when he was 12 years old, under the assumption that his issue before this diagnosis had to do with Asthma. Today, Austin is doing very well and is trying to establish himself as an actor. While spending her time during Austin's treatment at a Northern California Hospital which would become affectionately known as the "Kaiser Resort", Debi met other mom's who were with their children and were being treated for different forms of Pediatric Cancer. During this time in the "Kaiser Resort" these moms coalesced to form the MAMA BEARS FIGHTING CHILDHOOD CANCER Non-Profit, a Non-Profit which now has established Roots in a number of Northern California Hospitals.

Die Zwölf machte ihn berühmt. Arnold Schönberg, Erfinder einer neuartigen Kompositionsmethode. Er fürchtete fast Nichts mehr als die Dreizehn. Und er litt sein Leben lang an Asthma.

Er war immer auch fähig zur selbstironischen Betrachtung seiner eigenen Person und hatte Freude daran, Legenden zu stricken. Einmal überlebte er seinen eigenen Todesfall. Eine gar nicht komische Geschichte.

On this episode of Vitality Radio, Jared welcomes back naturopathic physician Dr. Lexi Loch from Terry Naturally to uncover two of the most powerful herbs in natural medicine: Boswellia and Curcumin (from Turmeric). While many are familiar with turmeric for inflammation, few realize that Boswellia (also known as frankincense) targets a completely different inflammatory pathway—one that traditional NSAIDs and pain relievers don't touch. Together, these herbs form a potent, well-researched duo for addressing pain and inflammation in the gut, joints, lungs, and beyond. You'll learn about the unique pathway that Boswellia modulates, the advantages of this unique curcumin extract over conventional turmeric extracts, and how combining the two offers faster and longer-lasting support. Whether you're struggling with IBS, asthma, joint pain, or simply want to manage everyday inflammation more naturally, this episode provides evidence-based insight and practical guidance you can trust.Products:Terry Naturally Boswellia & Curcumin ProductsAdditional Information:#524: Maximum Absorption of Nutrients for Energy, Pain, Immune, and Respiratory Challenges with Dr. Lexi LochVisit the podcast website here: VitalityRadio.comYou can follow @vitalitynutritionbountiful and @vitalityradio on Instagram, or Vitality Radio and Vitality Nutrition on Facebook.
