The study analyzes the consumption of medication for asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), rhinitis, cough, and cold, as well as the overall costs of asthma and severe COPD. The findings show that medication consumption has increased over time, but the overall burden ...
cells, MNPs/DCs, and mast cells were barely detectable in the IT tissues from healthy individuals, supporting an extensive inflammatory milieu in both nasal polyps and nasal mucosa of CRSwNP patients, regardless of the anatomical regions in which they occur (Fig.1b,e). Of note, each of the ...
B cells, which results in increased production of immunoglobulin E, which in turn induces the production of inflammatory mediators like histamine and cysteinyl leukotrienes, whereas IL-5 is exclusively involved with recruitment of eosinophils, leading to development of allergic rhinitis in upper airways....
From a public health perspective, another important issue is that all respiratory diseases are collected in one statistical pool; there is no separate registration of COPD, asthma, allergic rhinitis and other non-infectious respiratory diseases in the CIS countries. The COPD prevalence estimates based...
allergic rhinitis and the percentage of eosinophils(EO%), the absolute value of eosinophils(EO#), the absolute neutrophil(N), the absolute lymphocyte(R), the total IgE were recorded at the same time. Calculate the NLR value and ELR value. This study used SPSS 19.0 for statistical analysis ...
In the present study, the percentage of smokers was significantly higher among photocopier operators group when compared to controls. However, smoking status did not significantly influence lung function and inflammation of the photocopier operators and control subjects. This might be due to the very ...

subjects who meet criteria for CFS and allied, visceral conditions [8]. For example, dysregulated visceral nociception [9] and mucosal function may lead to an unique nonallergic rhinitis [10–13], noncardiac chest pain, irritable bowel syndrome, vulvodynia, and other "functional" disorders [3,...
Respiratory diseases such as asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), are affecting a huge percentage of the world’s population with mortality rates exceeding those of lung cancer and breast cancer combined. The major challenge is the number of patients who are incorrectly diagnosed....
