Journal ArticleDOI
Increasing prevalence of bronchial hyperresponsiveness in three selected areas in East Germany
TL;DR: There is indirect evidence, that less respiratory infections may be associated with higher bronchial hyperresponsiveness and this might be a first indicator of the suspected increase of asthma prevalence in East Germany.
Journal ArticleDOI
Gesundheitliche Wirkungen von Feinstaub: Epidemiologie der Langzeiteffekte
TL;DR: This review summarizes the state of the art about chronic effects of ambient particulate air pollutants and states that a majority of regional cross-sectional studies show a higher risk for non-allergic, infectious respiratory diseases such as bronchitis in children who grew up in highly polluted areas.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cloning, expression, and characterization of the icd gene in the immI operon of bacteriophage P1.
TL;DR: It is suggested that constitutive expression of icd, in the absence of a functionally active antirepressor, prevents P1 lysogen formation because of its detrimental effect on the host cell.
Journal ArticleDOI
Air pollutants and primary allergy prevention
TL;DR: If the evidence for the causal role of air pollutants in the onset of allergies is inconclusive, it is probably not possible to achieve primary prevention of allergies by improving air quality, but there is sufficient evidence to show that air pollutants can trigger exacerbations of allergic diseases.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors established new spirometric reference values for advanced age and compared these to recent prediction equations from population-based studies, and used them to diagnose lung function using spirometry.
