A Comparison of Low-Dose Inhaled Budesonide plus Theophylline and High-Dose Inhaled Budesonide for Moderate Asthma

TL;DR: The addition of low-dose theophylline to inhaled glucosteroid may be preferable to and cheaper than increasing the dose of inhaling glucosteroids in patients with moderate asthma and persistent symptoms.
Journal ArticleDOI

The cytokine network in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

TL;DR: There are several therapeutic approaches that target cytokine-mediated inflammation in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, but blocking specific cytokines may not provide clinical benefit, whereas broad-spectrum anti-inflammatory approaches are more likely to be clinically effective.
Journal ArticleDOI

Efficacy and safety of inhaled corticosteroids in asthma. Report of a workshop held in Eze, France, October 1992.

TL;DR: Inhaled glucocorticosteroids have now become first-line therapy for the treatment of chronic asthma in many countries as mentioned in this paper, and they are the most effective asthma therapy currently available, and numerous studies have documented their longterm efficacy in asthma control in adults and in children.
Journal ArticleDOI

Expression of Inducible Nitric Oxide in Human Lung Epithelial Cells

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that cytokines, such as those released by mononuclear cells, can induce lung epithelial iNOS expression and NO release, and that this is attenuated by dexamethasone.
Journal ArticleDOI

As-Needed Budesonide–Formoterol versus Maintenance Budesonide in Mild Asthma

TL;DR: In patients with mild asthma, budesonide–formoterol used as needed was noninferior to twice‐daily budesonides maintenance therapy with respect to the rate of severe asthma exacerbations during 52 weeks of treatment but was inferior in controlling symptoms.
