Table 1 summarized the demographic and clinical characteristics of these participants: age, educational status, with occupa- tional exposures or not, any acute attack within 6 months, smoking index (100), FEV1, FEV1pred, FEV1%pred, FEV1/ Fig. 3 Specific reasons and percentage of...
So, we propose the preventive use of donkey milk on asthmatic attack is reasonably expected. Structural alterations in airway, recognized as airway remodeling, are responsible for AHR.
