A Composite Index to Predict Subsequent Asthma with Clinical Data Obtained During the First Year of Life
This invention is a new index from a simple questionnaire that can predict with reasonable accuracy which children will develop asthma by 5-9 years of age. This involves a composite measure of symptoms of respiratory and non-respiratory illness collected in a research study on the first year of life in order to predict the development of childhood asthma....

A New Method for Preventing and/or Treating Asthma and Related Respiratory Conditions
This technology is an intranasal and/or inhaled therapeutic that consists of a bacterial extract. Initial studies have shown that it protects against characteristic asthma phenotypes such as airway hypperresponsiveness, bronchoalveolar lavage eosinophillia, and increased expression of type-2 cytokines in the lung. The therapy can protect against various...
