An assessment of fractional exhaled nitric oxide inchildren with allergic rhinitis [PDF]
Allergic rhinitis is an inflammatory condition of the nasal mucosa usually elicited by IgE-mediated response to allergen exposure. It is currently considered the most common allergic disease.

Tailored interventions based on exhaled nitric oxide versus clinical symptoms for asthma in children and adults [PDF]
BackgroundThe measurement of severity and control of asthma in both children and adults can be based on subjective or objective measures. It has been advocated that fractional exhaled nitric oxide (FeNO) can be used to monitor airway inflammation as it ...

Independent Information of Nonspecific Biomarkers in Exhaled Breath Condensate [PDF]
Background: Exhaled breath condensate (EBC) has been used for diagnosing and monitoring respiratory disorders. For clinical purposes the assessment of easy-to-obtain nonspecific markers seems particularly interesting.

Nitric oxide synthase:non-canonical expression patterns [PDF]
Science can move ahead by questioning established or canonical views and, so it may be with the enzymes, nitric oxide synthases (NOS). Nitric oxide (NO) is generated by NOS isoforms that are often described by their tissue-specific expression patterns ...

Measurements of fractional exhaled nitric oxide in pediatric asthma [PDF]
Exhaled nitric oxide (NO) has been extensively investigated as a noninvasive marker of airway inflammation in asthma. The increased NO expression induced by inflammatory mediators in airways can be monitored easily in exhaled air from asthmatic children.

Acute and Chronic Effects of Smoking on Inflammation Markers in Exhaled Breath Condensate in Current Smokers [PDF]
Background: Long-term cigarette smoking is associated with pulmonary inflammation, but the acute effects of smoking have been less well studied. Analysis of the exhaled breath condensate (EBC) can provide noninvasive markers that might be indicative of ...

Are exhaled nitric oxide measurements using the portable NIOX MINO repeatable?
Background Exhaled nitric oxide is a non-invasive marker of airway inflammation and a portable analyser, the NIOX MINO (Aerocrine AB, Solna, Sweden), is now available.

Airways oxidative stress, lung function and cognitive impairment in aging
Background. An altered balance of oxidants/anti-oxidants is one of the pathological mechanisms of many agedependent disorders. We aimed to investigate the age-related airways oxidative stress, using non invasive, safe and repeatable techniques; to ...
