Occupational asthma follow-up — Which markers are elevated in exhaled breath condensate and plasma?
International Journal of Occupational Medicine and Environmental Health, 2014 Objectives: To search for optimal markers in the exhaled breath condensate (EBC), plasma and urine that would reflect the activity/ severity of occupational asthma (OA) after the withdrawal from the exposure to the allergen. Material and Methods: Markers

Methacholine and macrolides [PDF]
European Respiratory Journal, 2004 To the Editor: The paper by Kostadima et al. 1 provides a valuable insight into the effects of clarithromycin upon nonspecific airway hyperresponsiveness (AHR) to methacholine in asthmatics. It is important to point out that AHR to methacholine is only very loosely related to the degree of underlying inflammation, whereas the use of an indirect …

Methacholine challenge in preschool children: methacholine-induced wheeze versus transcutaneous oximetry [PDF]
European Respiratory Journal, 1999 Tracheal/chest auscultation for wheeze and transcutaneous oximetry have both been suggested as measures of outcome in bronchial provocation tests in young children. This study aimed to compare the sensitivity and safety of these two techniques as end-points for methacholine challenge in children aged <4 yrs.

Regulation of eosinophilia and allergic airway inflammation by the glycan-binding protein galectin-1 [PDF]
, 2016 Galectin-1 (Gal-1), a glycan-binding protein with broad antiinflammatory activities, functions as a proresolving mediator in autoimmune and chronic inflammatory disorders. However, its role in allergic airway inflammation has not yet been elucidated.
