Blood Eosinophil Guided Versus Usual Care In The Management Of Mild To Moderate Asthma at Primary Care (BEAM)

The aim of this study is to evaluate usual care versus biomarker-directed care (using blood eosinophil counts) for the management of asthma patients in primary care setting. The study hypothesizes that BEC is a valuable biomarker that can guide asthma treatment, and result in reduction in asthma exacerbations, better symptom control and improvement in quality of life compared to usual arm in mild to moderate asthma patients in the primary care setting. Researchers would compare using blood eosinophil count guided to usual care to see if biomarker-directed asthma treatment and management

Association Between Preoperative Anxiety and Blood Eosinophil Levels

In the studies, the presence of preoperative anxiety has been evaluated and reported with anxiety scales. The presence of anxiety and allergic diseases has also been examined in a limited study with the analysis of neuroendocrine cells. In this study, it was planned to support the eosinophilia response in peripheral blood accelerated by stress-related anxiety with anxiety scales. In patients who apply to the anesthesia clinic before surgery, the preoperative anxiety level will be measured with the STAIT(The State-Trait Anxiety Inventory Test) and APAIS (The Amsterdam Preoperative Anxiety and Information Scale) scales performed before the anesthesia evaluation and the relationship with the eosinophil count in the patient's complete blood count analysis will be evaluated.
