Can nasal nitric oxide be a biomarker to differentiate allergic and non-allergic rhinitis?

The Egyptian Journal of Otolaryngology, 2021
Background Nasal nitric oxide (nNO), a noninvasive indicator for eosinophilic airway inflammation, has not been adequately studied in different types of rhinitis.

Biomarkers in routine diagnosis of pleural effusions

Zdravniški Vestnik, 2018
Background: Pleural fluid biochemical analysis is the first step in pleural effusion (PE) diagnostics. Our purpose was to analyse the utility of the biomarkers used at our clinic in the routine diagnosis of PE. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the PE

Citrus/Cydonia Comp. Can Restore the Immunological Balance in Seasonal Allergic Rhinitis-Related Immunological Parameters In Vitro [PDF]

, 2008
In two in vitro studies, we examined the immunological (pathways of the) effects of Citrus/Cydonia comp. from, respectively, a healthy and an allergic donor; peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were isolated out of peripheral blood and analyzed in

Inhibition of Angiogenic Factor Productions by Quercetin In Vitro and In Vivo

, 2021
Background: Angiogenesis is well known to be an important event in the tissue remodeling observed in allergic diseases. Although there is much evidence that quercetin, one of the most abundant dietary flavonoids, exerts anti-allergic effects in both ...

Genetics of Allergic Diseases [PDF]

Immunology and Allergy Clinics of North America, 2015
Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have been employed in the field of allergic disease, and significant associations have been published for nearly 100 asthma genes/loci. An outcome of GWAS in allergic disease has been the formation of national and international collaborations leading to consortia meta-analyses, and an appreciation for the ...

Epigenomics and Allergic Disease [PDF]

Epigenomics, 2013
Allergic disease development is affected by both genes and the environment, and epigenetic mechanisms are hypothesized to mediate these environmental effects. In this article, we discuss the link between the environment, DNA methylation and allergic disease, as well as questions of causality inherent to analyses of DNA methylation.

Suppression of allergic airway inflammation by helminth-induced regulatory T cells [PDF]

, 2005
Allergic diseases mediated by T helper type (Th) 2 cell immune responses are rising dramatically in most developed countries. Exaggerated Th2 cell reactivity could result, for example, from diminished exposure to Th1 cell–inducing microbial infections ...

Effects of early life paracetamol use on the incidence of allergic disease and sensitization: 5 year follow-up of an Ethiopian birth cohort. [PDF]

, 2014
INTRODUCTION: The hypothesis that paracetamol, one of the most widely used medicines, may increase the risk of asthma and allergic disease is of obvious importance but prospective cohort data looking at dose and timing of exposure are lacking. OBJECTIVE:

Endobronchial ultrasound elastography strain ratio for mediastinal lymph node diagnosis

Radiology and Oncology, 2015
Background. Ultrasound elastography is an imaging procedure that can assess the biomechanical characteristics of different tissues. The aim of this study was to define the diagnostic value of the endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS) elastography strain ratio ...
