Cleveland Clinic pulmonologists address the role of measuring exhaled nitric oxide in the diagnosis and management of asthma and provide guidance for its appropriate use.
Read MoreUsing Fractional Exhaled Nitric Oxide Tests to Make Treatment Decisions for Patients with Asthma
New guidelines from the American Thoracic Society provide clarity on when to use the test, though some questions remain.
Pediatric Hospital Admission Rates for Asthma and Traffic-Related Air Pollution
Pediatric hospital admissions for asthma and bronchiolitis rise and fall with the traffic-related air pollution levels in cities known for their high rates of asthma, according to a new study.
Outpatient Management of Asthma in Adults
Adults with asthma should receive combination therapy with an inhaled corticosteroid and a long-acting beta-agonist on an as-needed basis for mild asthma or regular daily use for moderate or severe asthma.
Androgens May Have Airway Benefits for Patients With Asthma
A recent Cleveland Clinic-led study is the first to reveal the role of androgens and androgen receptors in asthma.

Machine Learning Can Play a Role in Predicting Acute Asthma Exacerbation, Study Finds
It can be difficult for clinicians and patients to predict when an acute asthma exacerbation might occur. Machine learning can help change that, according to one new Cleveland Clinic study.
Genetic Study Opens the Door for Treatment of Glucocorticoid-Resistant Asthma
A new study led by an interdisciplinary team at Cleveland Clinic provides genetic evidence that suggests variants related to androgen synthesis affect treatment resistance in asthma. The findings may have clinical implications for patients with uncontrolled asthma.
Mepolizumab in Patients with Severe Eosinophilic Asthma
The COLUMBA study supported the long-term safety and efficacy of mepolizumab in patients with severe eosinophilic asthma.
Nitric Oxide Stimulates the Production of Leukocyte-Binding Hyaluronan by Airway Smooth Muscle Cells
Nitric oxide is a biomarker of airway inflammation in asthma, but does it cause the inflammation? A new study finds one more piece to the puzzle.
How Non-Immune Cells Trigger Inflammation in Asthma
This research describes for the first time how seemingly unrelated processes, the activation of endothelial cells and angiogenesis, might work in tandem to drive asthma.
Seeing Asthma Differently with the 4Dx Scanner
Cleveland Clinic is only the second institution in the world to own the preclinical scanner and is the first to use it in the study of asthma.
