Guidelines versus clinical practice in the treatment of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
TL;DR: In conclusion, pharmacological treatment of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease by respiratory physicians is only partially consistent with current guidelines, with a high proportion of inhaled corticosteroid prescriptions and a relative under-use of anticholinergic agents.
Journal ArticleDOI
How often is the diagnosis bronchial asthma correct
TL;DR: It is indicated that more accuracy is needed when diagnosing bronchial asthma, and the number of patients given the wrong diagnosis of asthma is estimated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Gas chromatography/mass spectrometry analysis of exhaled leukotrienes in asthmatic patients
TL;DR: Gas chromatography/mass spectrometry can be used to accurately quantify exhaled LTs which are increased in asthmatic adults and children compared with controls.
Journal ArticleDOI
Airway contribution to alveolar nitric oxide in healthy subjects and stable asthma patients.
TL;DR: In stable and unobstructed asthma patients, even with increased bronchial NO production, alveolar production is normal when appropriately corrected for backdiffusion, and Simulations predict that, because of back Diffusion, Fa(NO) and Fe(NO,prod) are linearly related.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of apocynin on ozone-induced airway hyperresponsiveness to methacholine in asthmatics
TL;DR: It is concluded that apocynin markedly reduced O(3)-induced hyperreactivity for Mch as well as maximal airway narrowing and may have a role in preventing ozone-induced exacerbations of asthma.

Dendritic cells and the control of immunity
TL;DR: Once a neglected cell type, dendritic cells can now be readily obtained in sufficient quantities to allow molecular and cell biological analysis and the realization that these cells are a powerful tool for manipulating the immune system is realized.
