10. Skin barrier dysfunction associates with type 2 inflammatory diseases: Evidence from a birth cohort.

Abstract

This article explores the relationship between skin barrier integrity and type 2 inflammatory diseases. The study found that individuals with allergic rhinitis, food allergy, and eczema had higher levels of transepidermal water loss (TEWL), indicating compromised skin barrier integrity. The study also identified factors such as gender, testicular volume, armpit hair growth, and medical diagnoses that influenced skin barrier function. However, the model only captured a small percentage of the variation in TEWL. The study suggests an association between T2 inflammatory diseases and epithelial barrier disruption, but further research is needed to determine the diagnostic and predictive utility of TEWL in allergic diseases.

11. The Planetary Health Diet and Its Association with Asthma and Airway Inflammation in School-Aged Children.

Author

Abstract

Poor dietary choices have been rising concurrently with an increase in asthma prevalence, especially in children. Dietary indexes that simultaneously measure the healthiness and sustainability of dietary patterns have emerged to address the dual concerns of human and planetary health. Accordingly, we aimed to evaluate adherence to a sustainable dietary pattern and its impact on airway inflammation and asthma. In this study, 660 school-aged children (49.1% females, 7–12 years) were considered. A cross-sectional analysis was performed to assess the association between diet and asthma and airway inflammation according to overweight/obesity. Diet was evaluated through the Planetary Health Diet Index (PHDI). Higher scores represent a healthier and more sustainable diet. Three definitions of asthma were considered based on a self-reported medical diagnosis, symptoms, asthma medication, measured lung function, and airway reversibility. Airway inflammation was assessed by exhaled fractional nitric oxide (eNO). We considered two categories of body mass index: non-overweight/non-obese and overweight/obese. The associations between diet with asthma and airway inflammation were estimated using adjusted binary logistic regressions. The odds of having airway inflammation decreased with the increase in PHDI score. Moreover, children in the non-overweight/non-obesity group in the fourth quartile of the PHDI had lower odds of having airway inflammation compared to children in the first quartile. Our study indicates that a healthier and sustainable diet is associated with lower levels of eNO, but only among children without overweight/obesity. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

ABSTRACT Recognition of obesity as a treatable trait of asthma, impacting its development, clinical presentation and management, is gaining widespread acceptance. Obesity is a significant risk factor and disease modifier for asthma, complicating treatment. Epidemiological evidence highlights that obese asthma correlates with poorer disease control, increased severity and persistence, compromised lung function and reduced quality of life. Various mechanisms contribute to the physiological and clinical complexities observed in individuals with obesity and asthma. These encompass different immune responses, including Type IVb, where T helper 2 cells are pivotal and driven by cytokines like interleukins 4, 5, 9 and 13, and Type IVc, characterised by T helper 17 cells and Type 3 innate lymphoid cells producing interleukin 17, which recruits neutrophils. Additionally, Type V involves immune response dysregulation with significant activation of T helper 1, 2 and 17 responses. Finally, Type VI is recognised as metabolic‐induced immune dysregulation associated with obesity. Body mass index (BMI) stands out as a biomarker of a treatable trait in asthma, readily identifiable and targetable, with significant implications for disease management. There exists a notable gap in treatment options for individuals with obese asthma, where asthma management guidelines lack specificity. For example, there is currently no evidence supporting the use of incretin mimetics to improve asthma outcomes in asthmatic individuals without Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). In this review, we advocate for integrating BMI into asthma care models by establishing clear target BMI goals, promoting sustainable weight loss via healthy dietary choices and physical activity and implementing regular reassessment and referral as necessary.

Abstract

Este estudio se deriva de una investigación más amplia sobre la ropa mutante. Aquí, el foco está en la ropa utilizada tanto en los cultos de las religiones de origen africana, especialmente el candomblé y la umbanda, como en la vida cotidiana. Para eso, fue necesario respaldar la investigación sobre los usos de estos paños para el Brasil colonial e imperial. Y, de esta manera, se comprobó que el pano da costa y el torço trascienden la religión. Fuera de ella, estas prendas adquieren otras funciones y resignifican sus usos cuando se atan, retuercen o anudan como medio de cierre de la prenda, en sustitución de la costura. El método utilizado fue la investigación bibliográfica e iconográfica, con resultados que presentan una retórica discursiva y argumentativa que relaciona el objeto de estudio con la cultura material., Este estudo decorre de uma pesquisa mais ampla sobre roupas com capacidade de mutação. Aqui o foco é nas roupas usadas tanto nos cultos de religiões afro-brasileiras, como a umbanda e o candomblé, e africanas, como o ifá, geledé, etc, quanto no cotidiano. Para isto, foi necessário recuar a investigação sobre os usos destes panos para o período colonial e imperial do Brasil. E, desta forma, constatou-se que o pano da costa e o torço transcendem a religião. Fora dela, estas vestes, como trajes completos, adquirem outras funções, e seus usos são ressignificados quando amarradas, torcidas ou fechadas com nós, em substituição à costura. O método utilizado foi o da pesquisa bibliográfica e iconográfica, com resultados que apresentam uma retórica discursiva e argumentativa relacionando o objeto de estudo à cultura material.

Abstract

The textile and clothing chain industries, driven by the fast fashion model, which makes consumers buy and discard products at an accelerated rate, are the main responsible for the increase in the volume of clothing production. The objective of this article is to present a proposal for the reuse of post-consumer textile waste, discarded in the Vila Maria region (São Paulo, Brazil), a sustainable solution that seeks to reduce the environmental impact of incorrect disposal of this waste and create a new value chain, which will be able to provide an increase in the income of the residents of the community. The garments that are not selected for resale are discarded by the local business in the common garbage. The garments selected for the development of this research were sent to the creative processes workshop of the Eastern University of São Paulo (USP), to carry out their reuse through the concept of upcycling. The results obtained showed that the use of upcycling the garments discarded by the community of Promorar Vila Maria III (São Paulo, Brazil) is viable. The looks produced from the upcycling concept were exhibited at the III International Congress of Textile and Fashion Sustainability (SUSTEXMODA)., As indústrias da cadeia têxtil e de confecções, impulsionadas pelo modelo fast fashion, que faz com que os consumidores comprem e descartem produtos de forma acelerada, são as principais responsáveis pelo aumento do volume da produção de vestuário. O objetivo deste artigo é apresentar uma proposta de reaproveitamento de resíduos têxteis pós-consumo, descartados na região de Vila Maria (São Paulo, Brasil), uma solução sustentável que busca reduzir o impacto ambiental do descarte incorreto desses resíduos e criar uma nova cadeia de valor, que poderá proporcionar um aumento na renda dos moradores da comunidade. As roupas que não são selecionadas para revenda são descartadas pelo comércio local no lixo comum. As peças de vestuário selecionadas para o desenvolvimento desta pesquisa foram encaminhadas para a oficina de processos criativos da Universidade Leste de São Paulo (USP), para realização de seu reaproveitamento por meio do conceito de upcycling. Os resultados obtidos mostraram que é viável a utilização do upcycling das roupas descartadas pela comunidade do Promorar Vila Maria III (São Paulo, Brasil).
