3. Prevalence of Alpha-1 Antitrypsin Deficiency Alleles in a Lithuanian Cohort of Wheezing Small Children

Author: Edita Poluzioroviene, Joanna Chorostowska-Wynimko, Sigita Petraitiene, Arunas Strumila, Adriana Rozy, Aneta Zdral, and Arunas Valiulis
Subjects: alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency, children, wheeze, SERPINA1, COPD, Diseases of the respiratory system, RC705-779, Medicine (General), R5-920
Abstract: Severe inherited alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency (AATD) is an autosomal genetic condition linked to chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The significance of heterozygous, milder deficiency variants (PiSZ, PiMZ, PiMS) is less clear. We studied AATD genotypes in 145 children (up to 72 months old) with assessed wheezing severity using the Pediatric Respiratory Assessment Measure (BCCH PRAM score). A control group of 74 children without airway obstruction was included. AAT concentration and Pi phenotype were determined from dry blood spot samples using nephelometry and real-time PCR; PiS and PiZ alleles were identified by isoelectrofocusing. Among the wheezers, the Pi*S allele incidence was 2.07% (3 cases) and the Pi*Z allele was 6.9% (10 cases). The Pi*Z allele frequency was higher in wheezers compared to controls (44.8% vs. 20.27%) and the general Lithuanian population (44.8% vs. 13.6%) and was similar to adult COPD patients in Lithuania: Pi*S 10.3% vs. 15.8% and Pi*Z 44.8% vs. 46.1%. No association was found between AAT genotypes and wheezing severity. Finding that wheezer children exhibit a frequency of Z* and S* alleles like that found in adults with COPD suggests a potential genetic predisposition that links early wheezing in children to the development of COPD in adulthood. Larger cohort studies are needed to confirm this finding.

Abstract: Abstract Patient‐reported outcome measures (PROMs) are used to assess a patient's health status at a particular point in time. They are essential in the development of person‐centred care. This paper reviews studies performed on PROMs for assessing AR and asthma control, in particular VAS scales that are included in the app MASK‐air® (Mobile Airways Sentinel networK) for asthma and rhinitis. VASs were initially developed on paper and pencil and tested for their criterion validity, cut‐offs and responsiveness. Then, a multicentric, multinational, double‐blind, placebo‐controlled, randomised control trial (DB‐PC‐RCT) using an electronic VAS form was carried out. Finally, with the development of MASK‐air® in 2015, previously validated VAS questions were adapted to the digital format and further methodologic evaluations were performed. VAS for asthma, rhinitis, conjunctivitis, work and EQ‐5D are included in the app. Additionally, two control‐medication scores for allergic symptoms of asthma (e‐DASTHMA) were validated for their criterion validity, cut‐offs and responsiveness.

5. Childhood Obesity as a Global Problem: a Cross-sectional Survey on Global Awareness and National Program Implementation

Author: Aman B. Pulungan, Helena A. Puteri, Amajida F. Ratnasari, Hilary Hoey, Agustini Utari, Feyza Darendeliler, Basim Al-Zoubi, Dipesalema Joel, Arunas Valiulis, Jorge Cabana, Enver Hasanoğlu, Naveen Thacker, and Mychelle Farmer
Subjects: childhood obesity, obesity, children, awareness, program, Pediatrics, RJ1-570, Diseases of the endocrine glands. Clinical endocrinology, RC648-665
Abstract: INTRODUCTION: The rising global epidemic of childhood obesity is a major public health challenge. Despite the urgency, there is a lack of data on the awareness and implementation of preventative measures. The aim of this study was to identify areas for improvement in the prevention and management of childhood obesity worldwide. METHODS: A cross-sectional electronic survey was distributed to 132 members of national pediatric societies of the International Pediatric Association. RESULTS: Twenty-eight (21.2%) participants, each from a different country across six World Health Organization (WHO) regions completed the survey. Most participants reported that national prevalence data of childhood obesity is available (78.6%), and the number increased during the Coronavirus disease-2019 pandemic (60.7%). In most countries (78.6%), the amount of sugar and salt in children's products is provided but only 42.9% enacted regulations on children-targeted advertising. Childhood obesity prevention programs from the government (64.3%) and schools (53.6%) are available with existing support from private or non-profit organizations (71.4%). Participants were aware of WHO's guidance concerning childhood obesity (78.6%), while fewer were aware of The United Nations International Children's Emergency Fund's (UNICEF) guidance (50%). Participants reported that WHO/UNICEF guidance acted as a reference to develop policies, regulations and national programs. However, progress was hindered by poor compliance. Lastly, participants provided suggestions on tackling obesity, with responses ranging from developing and reinforcing policies, involvement of schools, and prevention across all life stages. DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION: There are different practices in implementing prevention measures to counter childhood obesity globally, particularly in statutory regulation on food advertising and national programs. While support and awareness was relatively high, implementation was hindered. This reflects the need for prompt, country-specific evaluation and interventions.

6. On the Possible Climatic Consequences of the Large Oil Spills in Oceans

Author: Nina Prokopciuk, Nikolaj Tarasiuk, Ulrich Franck, Dean Ernest Schraufnagel, Algirdas Valiulis, Marina Kostantinova, Tymon Zielinski, and Arunas Valiulis
Subjects: climate warming, oil spills, North Atlantic Oscillation, surface film, ocean pollution, production water, Meteorology. Climatology, QC851-999
Abstract: In the North Atlantic and the Northern Ocean, from the second half of 2010 to 2014, satellite imagery data showed increased surface water temperatures (in the Icelandic Depression area in September–October 2010, it was 1.3 °C higher than in 2009). The peak of the annual sum of mean monthly ocean surface temperatures near the Icelandic Depression in 2010 (109.3 °C), as well as the negative values of the monthly averaged North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) indices, estimated in the second half of 2010 and until March 2011, can be explained by the appearance of an additional film of oil origin on the water surface, formed after an oil spill accident at the Deepwater Horizon drilling rig in the Gulf of Mexico. Insufficient evaporative cooling of surface waters near the Icelandic Depression related to the formation of an additive film due to the influence of pollution of the North Sea by oil can explain the earlier peak in the annual sum of mean monthly ocean surface temperatures near the Icelandic Depression in 2003 (107.2 °C). Although global warming is usually ascribed to increased greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, ocean surface water pollution could increase the heat content of the ocean and explain the steady temperature stratification and desalination of these waters due to the melting of Greenland’s glaciers. Thus, when analyzing the concept of global warming, it is necessary to take into account the aspects of pollution of the ocean surface waters to assess the changes in their capacity to accumulate solar radiation, as well as the changes in the heat content of the ocean mixing zone (~200 m).

7. Label-Free Analysis of Binding and Inhibition of SARS-Cov-19 Spike Proteins to ACE2 Receptor with ACE2-Derived Peptides by Surface Plasmon Resonance.

Subjects: COVID-19, SARS-CoV-2, biosensing, molecular docking, peptide inhibitors, surface plasmon resonance, Humans, SARS-CoV-2, COVID-19, Surface Plasmon Resonance, Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme 2, Spike Glycoprotein, Coronavirus, Molecular Docking Simulation, Peptides
Abstract: SARS-CoV-2 has been shown to enter and infect human cells via interactions between spike protein (S glycoprotein) and angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2). As such, it may be possible to suppress the infection of the virus via the blocking of this binding interaction through the use of specific peptides that can mimic the human ACE 2 peptidase domain (PD) α 1-helix. Herein, we report the use of competitive assays along with surface plasmon resonance (SPR) to investigate the effect of peptide sequence and length on spike protein inhibition. The characterization of these binding interactions helps us understand the mechanisms behind peptide-based viral blockage and develop SPR methodologies to quickly screen disease inhibitors. This work not only helps further our understanding of the important biological interactions involved in viral inhibition but will also aid in future studies that focus on the development of therapeutics and drug options. Two peptides of different sequence lengths, [30-42] and [22-44], based on the α 1-helix of ACE2 PD were selected for this fundamental investigation. In addition to characterizing their inhibitory behavior, we also identified the critical amino acid residues of the RBD/ACE2-derived peptides by combining experimental results and molecular docking modeling. While both investigated peptides were found to effectively block the RBD residues known to bind to ACE2 PD, our investigation showed that the shorter peptide was able to reach a maximal inhibition at lower concentrations. These inhibition results matched with molecular docking models and indicated that peptide length and composition are key in the development of an effective peptide for inhibiting biophysical interactions. The work presented here emphasizes the importance of inhibition screening and modeling, as longer peptides are not always more effective.

Subjects: asthma, diagnosis, dyspnea, mHealth, wheezing, Immunologic diseases. Allergy, RC581-607
Abstract: Abstract Rationale It is unclear how each individual asthma symptom is associated with asthma diagnosis or control. Objectives To assess the performance of individual asthma symptoms in the identification of patients with asthma and their association with asthma control. Methods In this cross‐sectional study, we assessed real‐world data using the MASK‐air® app. We compared the frequency of occurrence of five asthma symptoms (dyspnea, wheezing, chest tightness, fatigue and night symptoms, as assessed by the Control of Allergic Rhinitis and Asthma Test [CARAT] questionnaire) in patients with probable, possible or no current asthma. We calculated the sensitivity, specificity and predictive values of each symptom, and assessed the association between each symptom and asthma control (measured using the e‐DASTHMA score). Results were validated in a sample of patients with a physician‐established diagnosis of asthma. Measurement and Main Results We included 951 patients (2153 CARAT assessments), with 468 having probable asthma, 166 possible asthma and 317 no evidence of asthma. Wheezing displayed the highest specificity (90.5%) and positive predictive value (90.8%). In patients with probable asthma, dyspnea and chest tightness were more strongly associated with asthma control than other symptoms. Dyspnea was the symptom with the highest sensitivity (76.1%) and the one consistently associated with the control of asthma as assessed by e‐DASTHMA. Consistent results were observed when assessing patients with a physician‐made diagnosis of asthma. Conclusions Wheezing and chest tightness were the asthma symptoms with the highest specificity for asthma diagnosis, while dyspnea displayed the highest sensitivity and strongest association with asthma control.

Subjects: dust aggregates, microelemental composition, vanadium, respiratory infections, primary school, children, Public aspects of medicine, RA1-1270
Abstract: BackgroundIt has been reported that the disease-initiated and disease-mediated effects of aerosol pollutants can be related to concentration, site of deposition, duration of exposure, as well as the specific chemical composition of pollutants.ObjectivesTo investigate the microelemental composition of dust aggregates in primary schools of Vilnius and determine trace elements related to acute upper respiratory infections among 6-to 11-year-old children.MethodsMicroelemental analysis of aerosol pollution was performed using dust samples collected in the classrooms of 11 primary schools in Vilnius from 2016 to 2020. Sites included areas of its natural accumulation behind the radiator heaters and from the surface of high cupboards. The concentrations of heavy metals (Pb, W, Sb, Sn, Zr, Zn, Cu, Ni, Mn, Cr, V, and As) in dust samples were analyzed using a SPECTRO XEPOS spectrometer. The annual incidence rates of respiratory diseases in children of each school were calculated based on data from medical records.ResultsThe mean annual incidence of physician-diagnosed acute upper respiratory infections (J00-J06 according to ICD-10A) among younger school-age children was between 25.1 and 71.3% per school. A significant correlation was found between vanadium concentration and the number of episodes of acute upper respiratory infections during each study year from 2016 to 2020. The lowest was r = 0.67 (p = 0.024), and the highest was r = 0.82 (p = 0.002). The concentration of vanadium in the samples of dust aggregates varied from 12.7 to 52.1 parts per million (ppm). No significant correlations between the other trace elements and the incidence of upper respiratory infections were found, which could be caused by a small number of study schools and relatively low concentrations of other heavy metals found in the samples of indoor dust aggregates.ConclusionA significant and replicable correlation was found between the concentration of vanadium in the samples of natural dust aggregates collected in primary schools and the incidence of acute upper respiratory infections in children. Monitoring the concentration of heavy metals in the indoor environment can be an important instrument for the prevention and control of respiratory morbidity in children.

Abstract: The advancement of technology and the increasing digitisation of healthcare systems have opened new opportunities to transform the delivery of child health services. The importance of interoperable electronic health data in enhancing healthcare systems and improving child health care is evident. Interoperability ensures seamless data exchange and communication among healthcare entities, providers, institutions, household and systems. Using standardised data formats, coding systems, and terminologies is crucial in achieving interoperability and overcoming the barriers of different systems, formats, and locations. Paediatricians and other child health stakeholders can effectively address data structure, coding, and terminology inconsistencies by promoting interoperability and improving data quality and accuracy of children and youth, according to guidelines of the World Health Organisation. Thus, ensure comprehensive health assessments and screenings for children, including timely follow-up and communication of results. And implement effective vaccination schedules and strategies, ensuring timely administration of vaccines and prompt response to any concerns or adverse events. Developmental milestones can be continuously monitored. This can improve care coordination, enhance decision-making, and optimise health outcomes for children. In conclusion, using interoperable electronic child health data holds great promise in advancing international child healthcare systems and enhancing the child's care and well-being. By promoting standardised data exchange, interoperability enables timely health assessments, accurate vaccination schedules, continuous monitoring of developmental milestones, coordination of care, and collaboration among child healthcare professionals and the individual or their caregiver. Embracing interoperability is essential for creating a person-centric and data-driven healthcare ecosystem where the potential of digitalisation and innovation can be fully realized.

Subjects: DEEPWATER Horizon (Drilling rig), WATER temperature, NORTH Atlantic oscillation, WATER pollution, COOLING of water, BP Deepwater Horizon Explosion & Oil Spill, 2010, OIL spills
Abstract: In the North Atlantic and the Northern Ocean, from the second half of 2010 to 2014, satellite imagery data showed increased surface water temperatures (in the Icelandic Depression area in September–October 2010, it was 1.3 °C higher than in 2009). The peak of the annual sum of mean monthly ocean surface temperatures near the Icelandic Depression in 2010 (109.3 °C), as well as the negative values of the monthly averaged North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) indices, estimated in the second half of 2010 and until March 2011, can be explained by the appearance of an additional film of oil origin on the water surface, formed after an oil spill accident at the Deepwater Horizon drilling rig in the Gulf of Mexico. Insufficient evaporative cooling of surface waters near the Icelandic Depression related to the formation of an additive film due to the influence of pollution of the North Sea by oil can explain the earlier peak in the annual sum of mean monthly ocean surface temperatures near the Icelandic Depression in 2003 (107.2 °C). Although global warming is usually ascribed to increased greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, ocean surface water pollution could increase the heat content of the ocean and explain the steady temperature stratification and desalination of these waters due to the melting of Greenland's glaciers. Thus, when analyzing the concept of global warming, it is necessary to take into account the aspects of pollution of the ocean surface waters to assess the changes in their capacity to accumulate solar radiation, as well as the changes in the heat content of the ocean mixing zone (~200 m).

Subjects: respiratory distress syndrome, mechanical ventilation, high-flow nasal cannula, continuous positive airway pressure, electrical impedance tomography, preterm newborns, Medicine (General), R5-920
Abstract: Background and objectives: Respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) frequently necessitates respiratory support. While non-invasive methods are typically the preferred approach, mechanical ventilation becomes necessary for patients with insufficient response. Our study aimed to compare two common respiratory support modes, volume-targeted mechanical ventilation and non-invasive ventilation continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) and high-flow nasal cannula (HFNC), using electrical impedance tomography. Materials and Methods: Infants with very low birth weight and gestational ages of less than 32 weeks were eligible for inclusion in the study. All enrolled infants were beyond the transitional period (>72 h of age). The infants were divided into two groups: infants receiving invasive respiratory support through an endotracheal tube and infants receiving non-invasive respiratory support. We used electrical impedance tomography to assess end-expiratory lung impedance (EELZ), DeltaZ, heterogeneity, and regional ventilation distribution. Patients were evaluated at 0, 30, and 60 min after assuming the supine position to examine potential time-related effects. Results: Our study initially enrolled 97 infants, and the final analysis included a cohort of 72 infants. Ventilated infants exhibited significantly larger EELZ compared to their non-invasive counterparts (p = 0.026). DeltaZ was also greater in the invasive respiratory support group (p < 0.001). Heterogeneity was higher in the non-invasive group and did not change significantly over time. The non-invasive group demonstrated significantly greater ventilation in the dependent lung areas compared to intubated patients (p = 0.005). Regional distribution in the left lung was lower than in the right lung in both groups; however, this difference was significantly more pronounced in intubated patients (p < 0.001). Conclusions: Our study revealed that volume-targeted mechanical ventilation results in higher EELZ and DeltaZ compared to spontaneously breathing infants receiving non-invasive respiratory support. However, lung heterogeneity was lower during mechanical ventilation. Our study also reaffirmed that spontaneous breathing promotes greater involvement of the dependent lung compared to mechanical ventilation.

24. Assessment of Heavy Metal Contamination in Dust in Vilnius Schools: Source Identification, Pollution Levels, and Potential Health Risks for Children

Author: Murat Huseyin Unsal, Gytautas Ignatavičius, Arunas Valiulis, Nina Prokopciuk, Roberta Valskienė, and Vaidotas Valskys
Subjects: dust pollution, trace elements, indoor dust, dust exposure, environmental health risk, particulate matter, Chemical technology, TP1-1185
Abstract: The main objective of this study is to thoroughly evaluate the diversity and sources of heavy metals in the school environment. Specifically, this study examines the presence of heavy metals in the dust found and collected from 24 schools in Vilnius. Employing hierarchical cluster analysis, principal component analysis, and positive matrix factorization, we identified combustion-related activities as primary contributors to elevated metal concentrations, notably zinc, scandium, and copper, with PM2.5/PM10 ratios indicating a combustion source. They reveal significant differences in the levels of elements such as arsenic (4.55–69.96 mg/kg), copper (51.28–395.37 mg/kg), zinc, and lead, which are affected by both local environmental factors and human activities. Elevated pollution levels were found in certain school environments, indicating environmental degradation. Pollution assessment and specific element pairings’ strong positive correlations suggested shared origins or deposition processes. While this study primarily assesses non-carcinogenic risks to children based on a health risk assessment model, it acknowledges the well-documented carcinogenic potential of substances such as lead and arsenic. The research emphasizes the immediate necessity for efficient pollution management in educational environments, as indicated by the elevated hazard index for substances such as lead and arsenic, which present non-carcinogenic risks to children. This research offers important insights into the composition and origins of dust pollution in schools. It also promotes the need for broader geographic sampling and prolonged data collection to improve our understanding of pollution sources, alongside advocating for actionable strategies such as environmental management and policy reforms to effectively reduce exposure risks in educational settings. Furthermore, it aims to develop specific strategies to safeguard the health of students in Vilnius and similar urban areas.

Subjects: Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS), Drug-treatment resistant depression, Inflammatory biomarkers, Therapeutics. Pharmacology, RM1-950
Abstract: Treatment-resistant depression (TRD) is a challenging issue to address. Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) is commonly used but shows varying efficacy, necessitating a deeper understanding of depression physiology and rTMS mechanisms. Notably, an increasing amount of recent data has displayed the connection of TRD and its clinical outcome with chronic inflammatory processes. The current study included 19 TRD patients undergoing rTMS and 11 depressed patients responding to medication as a comparison group. We assessed therapeutic efficacy using MADRS, HAM-D-17, GAD-7, and PHQ-9 tests. Inflammatory markers, neurotrophins, and associated miRNAs were measured in patients blood serum before and during treatment. A control group of 18 healthy individuals provided baseline data. The results of our study showed significantly higher levels of pro-inflammatory interleukins-6 and − 8 in TRD patients compared to drug-responders, which also related to more severe symptoms before treatment. In addition, TRD patients, both before and during treatment, exhibited higher average blood serum concentrations of pro-inflammatory interleukin-18 and lower levels of anti-neuroinflammatory miR-146a-5p compared to healthy controls. We also observed that the expression of miR-16-5p, miR-93-5p, and especially miR-146a-5p correlated with clinical changes following rTMS. Our study confirmed that TRD patients possess a higher inflammatory status, while the anti-neuroinflammatory miR-146a-5p was demonstrated to have a considerable potential for predicting their rTMS treatment success.

Abstract: Children and adolescents are no longer a priority in the most recent European Programme of Work (EPW) 2020–2025 of the World Health Organization (WHO) Regional Office for Europe. In this position statement we provide arguments for why we think this population should be explicitly addressed in this important and influential document. We firstly emphasize the persistent health problems and inequalities in access to care for children and adolescents that are challenging to solve, and thus require a continuous focus. Secondly, we urge the WHO to prioritize children and adolescents in their EPW due to the new and emerging health problems related to global issues. Finally, we explain why permanent prioritization of children and adolescents is essential for the future of children and of society.

Abstract: BackgroundAntimicrobial resistance (AMR) is one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Efforts to promote the judicious use of antibiotics and contain AMR are a priority of several medical organizations, including the WHO. One effective way to achieve this goal is the deployment of antibiotic stewardship programs (ASPs). This study aimed to survey the current situation of pediatric ASPs in European countries and establish a baseline for future attempts to harmonize pediatric ASPs and antibiotic use in Europe.MethodsA web-based survey was conducted among national delegates of the European Academy of Paediatrics (EAP). The survey assessed the presence of pediatric ASPs in the representatives’ countries in the inpatient and outpatient settings, the staff included in the programs, and their detailed activities regarding antibiotic use.ResultsOf the 41 EAP delegates surveyed, 27 (66%) responded. Inpatient pediatric ASPs were reported in 74% (20/27) countries, and outpatient programs in 48% (13/27), with considerable variability in their composition and activities. Guidelines for managing pediatric infectious diseases were available in nearly all countries (96%), with those for neonatal infections (96%), pneumonia (93%), urinary tract (89%), peri-operative (82%), and soft tissue (70%) infections being the most common.

Abstract: Histone deacetylases (HDACs) play an essential role in the transcriptional regulation of cells through the deacetylation of nuclear histone and non-histone proteins and are promising therapeutic targets for the treatment of various diseases. Here, the synthesis of new compounds in which a hydroxamic acid residue is attached to differently substituted pyrimidine rings via a methylene group bridge of varying length as potential HDAC inhibitors is described. The target compounds were obtained by alkylation of 2-(alkylthio)pyrimidin-4(3H)-ones with ethyl 2-bromoethanoate, ethyl 4-bromobutanoate, or methyl 6-bromohexanoate followed by aminolysis of the obtained esters with hydroxylamine. Oxidation of the 2-methylthio group to the methylsulfonyl group and following treatment with amines resulted in the formation of the corresponding 2-amino-substituted derivatives, the ester group of which reacted with hydroxylamine to give the corresponding hydroxamic acids. The synthesized hydroxamic acids were tested as inhibitors of the HDAC4 and HDAC8 isoforms. Among the synthesized pyrimidine-based hydroxamic acids N-hydroxy-6-[6-methyl-2-(methylthio)-5-propylpyrimidin-4-yloxy]hexanamide was found to be the most potent inhibitor of both the HDAC4 and HDAC8 isoforms, with an IC50 of 16.6 µM and 1.2 µM, respectively.

Abstract: The recent explosion of 3D printing applications in scientific literature has expanded the speed and effectiveness of analytical technological development. 3D printing allows for manufacture that is simply designed in software and printed in-house with nearly no constraints on geometry, and analytical methodologies can thus be prototyped and optimized with little difficulty. The versatility of methods and materials available allows the analytical chemist or biologist to fine-tune both the structural and functional portions of their apparatus. This flexibility has more recently been extended to optical-based bioanalysis, with higher resolution techniques and new printing materials opening the door for a wider variety of optical components, plasmonic surfaces, optical interfaces, and biomimetic systems that can be made in the laboratory. There have been discussions and reviews of various aspects of 3D printing technologies in analytical chemistry; this Review highlights recent literature and trends in their applications to optical sensing and bioanalysis.

Abstract: Summary: Background: Validated questionnaires are used to assess asthma control over the past 1–4 weeks from reporting. However, they do not adequately capture asthma control in patients with fluctuating symptoms. Using the Mobile Airways Sentinel Network for airway diseases (MASK-air) app, we developed and validated an electronic daily asthma control score (e-DASTHMA). Methods: We used MASK-air data (freely available to users in 27 countries) to develop and assess different daily control scores for asthma. Data-driven control scores were developed based on asthma symptoms reported by a visual analogue scale (VAS) and self-reported asthma medication use. We included the daily monitoring data from all MASK-air users aged 16–90 years (or older than 13 years to 90 years in countries with a lower age of digital consent) who had used the app in at least 3 different calendar months and had reported at least 1 day of asthma medication use. For each score, we assessed construct validity, test–retest reliability, responsiveness, and accuracy. We used VASs on dyspnoea and work disturbance, EQ-5D-VAS, Control of Allergic Rhinitis and Asthma Test (CARAT), CARAT asthma, and Work Productivity and Activity Impairment: Allergy Specific (WPAI:AS) questionnaires as comparators. We performed an internal validation using MASK-air data from Jan 1 to Oct 12, 2022, and an external validation using a cohort of patients with physician-diagnosed asthma (the INSPIRERS cohort) who had had their diagnosis and control (Global Initiative for Asthma [GINA] classification) of asthma ascertained by a physician. Findings: We studied 135 635 days of MASK-air data from 1662 users from May 21, 2015, to Dec 31, 2021. The scores were strongly correlated with VAS dyspnoea (Spearman correlation coefficient range 0·68–0·82) and moderately correlated with work comparators and quality-of-life-related comparators (for WPAI:AS work, we observed Spearman correlation coefficients of 0·59–0·68). They also displayed high test–retest reliability (intraclass correlation coefficients range 0·79–0·95) and moderate-to-high responsiveness (correlation coefficient range 0·69–0·79; effect size measures range 0·57–0·99 in the comparison with VAS dyspnoea). The best-performing score displayed a strong correlation with the effect of asthma on work and school activities in the INSPIRERS cohort (Spearman correlation coefficients 0·70; 95% CI 0·61–0·78) and good accuracy for the identification of patients with uncontrolled or partly controlled asthma according to GINA (area under the receiver operating curve 0·73; 95% CI 0·68–0·78). Interpretation: e-DASTHMA is a good tool for the daily assessment of asthma control. This tool can be used as an endpoint in clinical trials as well as in clinical practice to assess fluctuations in asthma control and guide treatment optimisation. Funding: None.

Abstract: Abstract MASK‐air®, a validated mHealth app (Medical Device regulation Class IIa) has enabled large observational implementation studies in over 58,000 people with allergic rhinitis and/or asthma. It can help to address unmet patient needs in rhinitis and asthma care. MASK‐air® is a Good Practice of DG Santé on digitally‐enabled, patient‐centred care. It is also a candidate Good Practice of OECD (Organisation for Economic Co‐operation and Development). MASK‐air® data has enabled novel phenotype discovery and characterisation, as well as novel insights into the management of allergic rhinitis. MASK‐air® data show that most rhinitis patients (i) are not adherent and do not follow guidelines, (ii) use as‐needed treatment, (iii) do not take medication when they are well, (iv) increase their treatment based on symptoms and (v) do not use the recommended treatment. The data also show that control (symptoms, work productivity, educational performance) is not always improved by medications. A combined symptom‐medication score (ARIA‐EAACI‐CSMS) has been validated for clinical practice and trials. The implications of the novel MASK‐air® results should lead to change management in rhinitis and asthma.

Abstract: The number of children suffering from respiratory allergies and asthma has been increasing worldwide and, hence, it is crucial to understand the burden of inhalant biological particles present in school facilities, where children spend one third of their life. From the perspective of indoor air quality, while there are numerous studies on outdoor bioaerosol exposure, there are still uncertainties regarding the diversity and deposition of airborne pollen and fungi indoors. When it comes to schools, there is limited research as to the potential bioaerosol exposure. Here we studied the indoor environment of public schools aiming to reveal whether primary schools of different sizes and at localities of different levels of urbanization may exhibit a variability in the biodiversity and abundance of particles of biological origin, which could pose a risk to child health. To achieve this, 11 schools were selected, located in a variety of environments, from downtown, to city centre-periphery, and to the suburbs. Fungal and pollen samples were collected from various surfaces in school classrooms and corridors, using passive air sampling and swab sampling. We demonstrated that fungi and pollen are detected in school premises during and after the vegetation season. The highest diversity of bioaerosols was found on the top of cabinets and windowsills, with Penicillium, Cladosporium and Acremonium being the most abundant indoors. The levels of fungi were higher in schools with more students. The diversity and amount of pollen in the spring were significantly higher than in samples collected in autumn. Our findings complemented existing evidence that bioaerosol measurements in schools (including kindergartens or informal education facilities) are vital. Hence, we here suggest that, in addition to monitoring air quality and bacterial levels indoors, fungi and pollen measurements have to be integrated in the existing regular biomonitoring campaigns so as to prevent exposure, increase awareness and manage efficiently allergic symptomatology.

45. Development of Advanced Label-Free Optical Sensing with Novel Plasmonic Materials

Author: Valiulis, Santino Nicholas
Subjects: Analytical chemistry, Analytical Chemistry, Bioanalytical, Chemistry, Nanofabrication
Abstract: The development of biosensors provides effective tools for the study of life sciences and the improvement of human health. The capabilities of sensors are directly dependent on sensitivity and versatility built through smart designs. Biosensors are commonplace, including colorimentric COVID tests, electrochemical glucometers, and a variety of sensors allowing for tracking of blood oxygen level and sleeping habit. One particular technique, surface plasmon resonance (SPR), has found a broad range of usages as a label-free surface-based biosensor method with high sensitivity and real time detection, with SPR imaging further allowing for multiplexed detection. SPR has been used for kinetic analysis and drug binding assays, and relies upon the material underpinning the plasmonic effect. Further study of these materials and improvements of the plasmonic properties enhance SPR sensor technology. This Dissertation discusses theoretical and practical aspects of plasmonic sensors and the development of novel methodologies to improve the performance of SPR sensors and surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy, as well as their applications towards demanding biomedical measurement. Chapters 2, 3 and 4 focus on the development of aluminum based plasmonic sensing and the use of thin film and Kretschmann configuration for SPR measurement, which has not been previously explored as compared to the standard metal gold. Chapter 2 focuses on characterizing the fundamental optical properties of aluminum and aluminum oxide for usage as SPR sensors. Novel plasmonic behavior could be achieved with formation of an oxide waveguide that demonstrates specific sensitivity to surface and bulk changes, allowing for understanding and quantification of any surface binding events. Chapter 3 applies the confirmed concepts of the previous chapter towards a focused approach with existing SPR instrumentation, including surface characterization of aluminum thin films, and experimental confirmation of high sensitivity performance as compared to the standard gold counterpart. Chapter 4 sees the usage of the thin film aluminum substrate as an SPR biosensor in the detection of an anti-myelin associated glycoprotein, an antibody that is associated with autoimmune induced neuropathy. Chapter 5 takes a different approach to plasmonic sensors, with the fabrication of self-assembled gold nanoparticles at a liquid-liquid interface, which has been demonstrated as a SERS enhancement surface in the detection of environmental pollutants.
