Comments for the paper: "Maternal preconception occupational exposure to cleaning products and disinfectants and offspring asthma.", 2022, J Allergy Clin Immunol

This is an interesting study which finds that maternal jobs with exposure to indoor cleaning agents including cleaning products/detergents and disinfectants starting before conception was associated with an increased risk of asthma in their offspring. They suggest that this is more likely to be ...

Comments for the paper: "Association between occupational exposure to irritant agents and a distinct asthma endotype in adults.", 2021, Occup Environ Med

This paper defines a respiratory irritant very broadly to include most low molecular weight sensitisers (isocyanates, epoxy resins, amines, acrylates), as well as some possible high molecular weight allergens (moulds, wood) which most would not regard primarily as irritants. The paper groups ast ...

Comments for the paper: "Endotyping asthma related to three different work exposures", 2021, J Allergy Clin Immunol

This is a complicated study investigating molecular mechanisms of work-related asthma due to flour, isocyanates and stainless steel welding. The welders were the only group showing active inflammation from differentially expressed genes in nasal mucosal biopsies, but asymptomatic welders were no ...

Comments for the paper: "Diagnosis and Evaluation of Hypersensitivity Pneumonitis: CHEST Guideline and Expert Panel Report", 2021, Chest

A largely negative evidence based review of hypersensitivity pneumonitis, hampered by the lack of high quality evidence. Does not address specific treatment or the consequences (or lack of them) of allergen avoidance. More data needed

Comments for the paper: "Associations between occupational and environmental exposures and organ involvement in sarcoidosis: a retrospective case-case analysis", 2021, Respiratory Research

An interesting study of the relationship between exposures and the site of sarcoid involvement. Lung only sarcoidosis associated with silica and metal exposures (inorganic dusts). Liver and spleen involvement was associated with livestock and humans (healthcare, teaching). Cardiac sarcoidosis wa ...
