Tuberculosis in Malta : a case for sputum induction [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Sputum induction is a procedure used to help patients expectorate samples of sputum for laboratory analysis. It is a simple, safe and standardised procedure which may avoid the use of more invasive and potentially harmful interventions such as fibreoptic

Effect of Intramuscular Adrenaline on Histamine‐Induced Hypotension: A Randomised Placebo‐Controlled Pilot Trial

open access: yesAllergy, EarlyView.
Histamine infusions induce reproducible severe hypotension. Intramuscular adrenaline showed ‘supposedly therapeutic’ plasma concentrations but did not produce a sustained clinically relevant improvement in shock in the majority of recipients. These findings question adrenaline pharmacokinetic surrogate thresholds and support the need for faster and ...

Health Hazard Manual for Firefighters [PDF]

open access: yes, 1990
[Excerpt] Firefighters, as well as victims, can be exposed to a variety of toxic substances during a fire. Some of these toxicants are particularly insidious because they are produced by thermal decomposition before smoke makes a fire ...

Nasal Airway Transcriptome Reflects Selected Asthma‐Associated Gene Signatures in the Lower Airways

open access: yesAllergy, EarlyView.
Seven genes and two gene modules were consistently associated with asthma in both airway compartments in ARMS and were validated in ATLANTIS. The two modules reflected IL‐13 related inflammation and mast cell activity, respectively. Nasal gene signatures provide a non‐invasive proxy for selected bronchial asthma‐associated gene signatures.

Effect of Inhaled Prostaglandin E2 on Methacholine and Leukotriene D4 Airway Responsiveness in Asthmatic Subjects

open access: yesCanadian Respiratory Journal, 1996
Previous studies in asthmatics have demonstrated that the endogenous release of inhibitory prostaglandins limits the bronchoconstrictor response to repeated challenges with exercise and histamine, and that inhaled prostaglandin (PG) E2 attenuates ...

The effects of anti-sense interleukin-5 gene transferred by recombinant adeno-associated virus in allergic rats [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
The accumulation and infiltration of eosinophils in airways is one of the most important characteristics of asthma, and is mediated partly by secretion of IL-5 from Th2 lymphocytes.

Protectin D1 and maresin 1 attenuate airway hyperreactivity induced by IL‐13 in human isolated small bronchi

open access: yesBritish Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Background and Purpose Interleukin (IL)‐13 is implicated in airway hyperreactivity (AHR), a key feature of asthma. We explored the potential anti‐AHR activity of selected specialised pro‐resolving mediators (SPMs) in IL‐13‐induced AHR models, using human bronchial smooth muscle cells (BSMCs) and human isolated bronchi.
