Definition of asthma Asthma is a heterogeneous disease, usually characterized by chronic airway inflammation. It is defined by the history of respiratory symptoms such as wheeze, shortness of breath, chest tightness and cough that vary over time and in intensity, together with variable expiratory airflow limitation.

Difficult-to-treat asthma, severe/refractory asthma 5 10% of asthmatics whose asthma cannot be controlled with a combination of high-dose ICS together with LABA Intensive comorbid investigation and multiple re-evaluations are necessary to ensure that asthma is the correct diagnosis. The pathophysiology of severe/refractory asthma is likely to be different from that of the mild to moderate form. The immune mechanisms underlying the inflammatory process are not purely Th2.
Fenotipo = genotipo + ambiente Fenotipo = caratteristiche visibili di un organismo che risultano dall interazione tra il suo corredo genetico e l ambiente.

Conclusion: Approximately 60% of elderly subjects with asthma had rhinitis, mainly allergic and often untreated, whose onset preceded asthma symptoms by a mean of approximately 10 years. Nonallergic asthma was better controlled than allergic asthma. HDM sensitization was greater in subjects with asthma with features resembling chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (39% vs 28%). When restricting analysis to this group, the negative role of HDM in overall asthma control (forced expiratory volume in first second and Asthma Control Test) was significant.

Identification of asthma phenotypes using cluster analysis in the Severe Asthma Research Program Cluster 1= early onset atopic asthma with normal lung function treated with two or fewer controller medications (82%) and minimal health care utilization. Cluster 2 = early-onset atopic asthma and preserved lung function but increased medication requirements (29% on three or more medications) and health care utilization. Cluster 3 = mostly older obese women with late-onset nonatopic asthma, moderate reductions in FEV1, and frequent oral corticosteroid use to manage exacerbations. Clusters 4 & 5 = severe airflow obstruction with bronchodilator responsiveness but differ in to their ability to attain normal lung function, age of asthma onset, atopic status, and use of oral corticosteroids Moore.

Endotipo E un sottotipo definito da un particolare meccanismo funzionale o biologico. Deve essere distinto dal fenotipo che è una caratteristica osservabile o un aspetto di una una malattia, ad esempio un tratto morfologico, di sviluppo, una proprietà biochimica o fisiologica, un aspetto comportamentale, senza alcuna implicazione rispetto ai suoi meccanismi. E previsto che pazienti con uno specifico endotipo si presentino in particolari cluster di malattia.

IL-13 and Non IL- 13 Inflammatory Pathways in Asthma Inhaled allergen activates mast cells Allergens are processed by dendritic cells Dendritic cells then attract and activate Th2 Th2 secrete IL-5, which is necessary for the development and survival of eosinophils; and IL-9, which activates mast cells. Th2 secrete IL-4 and IL-13, which induce B cells to produce IgE. IL-13 promotes the survival and migration of IL-13 also has direct eosinophils effects on airway smooth muscle Kraft M. NEJM 2011

The White House Office of the Press Secretary For Immediate Release January 30, 2015 FACT SHEET: President Obama s Precision Medicine Initiative Building on President Obama s announcement in his State of the Union Address, today the Administration is unveiling details about the Precision Medicine Initiative, a bold new research effort to revolutionize how we improve health and treat disease. Launched with a $215 million investment in the President s 2016 Budget, the Precision Medicine Initiative will pioneer a new model of patient-powered research that promises to accelerate biomedical discoveries and provide clinicians with new tools, knowledge, and therapies to select which treatments will work best for which patients. Most medical treatments have been designed for the average patient. As a result of this one-size-fits-all-approach, treatments can be very successful for some patients but not for others. This is changing with the emergence of precision medicine, an innovative approach to disease prevention and treatment that takes into account individual differences in people s genes, environments, and lifestyles. Precision medicine gives clinicians tools to better understand the complex mechanisms underlying a patient s health, disease, or condition, and to better predict which treatments will be most effective.
