Airway responsiveness to mannitol in asthma is associated with chymase-positive mast cells and eosinophilic airway inflammation.

TL;DR: Compared the number and phenotype of mast cells, mRNA expression of mast cell‐associated genes and number of eosinophils in airway tissue of subjects with asthma and healthy controls in relation to AHR to mannitol is compared.
Journal ArticleDOI

Validity of the Common Cold Questionnaire (CCQ) in Asthma Exacerbations

TL;DR: The results of this review give some support to ciclesonide as an equivalent therapy to other ICS at similar nominal doses, in patients whose asthma required treatment with low doses of steroids.
Journal ArticleDOI

The prevalence of asthma appears to be inversely related to the incidence of typhoid and tuberculosis: hypothesis to explain the variation in asthma prevalence around the world.

TL;DR: The prevalence of asthma inversely to the prevalence of tuberculosis and enteric infection is linked to the fact that in the developing world there is a survival advantage in the fetal immune response to mature from Th2 to Th1 lymphocyte predominant.
Journal Article
