Journal ArticleDOI
Relative Scarcity of Asthma and Atopy among Rural Adolescents Raised on a Farm
Pierre Ernst,Yvon Cormier +1 more
TL;DR: Current wheeze, airways hyperresponsiveness (AHR), and skin test positivity to inhaled allergens were all significantly less common among adolescents raised on the farm and these differences were especially pronounced in girls.
Journal ArticleDOI
Differences in airway remodeling between subjects with severe and moderate asthma.
C. Pepe,Susan Foley,Joanne Shannon,Catherine Lemière,Ron Olivenstein,Pierre Ernst,Mara S. Ludwig,James G. Martin,Qutayba Hamid +8 more
TL;DR: In this article, the structural changes in the airway of well-defined groups of subjects with severe and moderate asthma and to correlate the extent of airway remodeling with disease severity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Regular use of inhaled corticosteroids and the long term prevention of hospitalisation for asthma.
TL;DR: Regular use of low dose inhaled corticosteroids prevents a large proportion of hospital admissions with asthma, both early and later on in the course of the disease.
Journal ArticleDOI
Inhaled corticosteroids: impact on asthma morbidity and mortality.
Samy Suissa,Pierre Ernst +1 more
TL;DR: The evidence to date strongly indicates that regular use of inhaled corticosteroids, even at low doses, would prevent the major portion of asthma hospitalizations and deaths.
Journal ArticleDOI
Expression of IL-12 and IL-13 mRNA in asthma and their modulation in response to steroid therapy.
Tanveer Naseer,Eleanor M. Minshall,Donald Y.M. Leung,Sophie Laberge,Pierre Ernst,Richard J. Martin,Qutayba Hamid +6 more
TL;DR: An in vivo role for IL-12 and IL-13 in modulating allergic responses is suggested and the notion that the clinical effects of glucocorticoids are at least partially mediated through the modulation of cytokine production is supported.
