Twelve patients with moderate asthma were recruited in a singleヽenter study and were instructed to perform pulmonary function tests at home twice daily for 28 days and weekly in clinic. Daily and mean subject compliance was summarized. The agreement between clinic and mobile FEV1 was assessed ...
Rhinitis is a potential aggravating factor for asthma. Our objective was to evaluate if HDM nasal challenges would induce lung function changes, assessing any differences between asthmatics with and without rhinitis.Population: 40 stable moderate persistent HDM allergic asthmatics, on inhaled steroids;...
ClinicalTrials.gov; NCT00931385 and NCT00932646 . These studies evaluated the 24-h forced expiratory volume in 1 sec (FEV1) profile of once-daily (QD) olodaterol compared to placebo and twice-daily (BID) formoterol in patients with moderate to very sever
ClinicalTrials.gov; NCT00931385 and NCT00932646 . These studies evaluated the 24-h forced expiratory volume in 1 sec (FEV1) profile of once-daily (QD) olodaterol compared to placebo and twice-daily (BID) formoterol in patients with moderate to very sever
Table 2 presents the effect estimates for those whose smoking status was constant during the interval, i.e. continued and former smokers. Estimated excess ∆FEV1 for light, moderate and heavy continued smokers compared with those for Table 1. – Descriptive statistics on age, FEV1 level, and ...
Asthma outcomes were hospital admission due to asthma during the preceding year, non-controlled asthma symptoms and moderate-high inhaled maintenance therapy need. Results In subjects from six to 18 years old, the rate of hospital admission was higher in the group with FEV 1 /FVC ratio in the...
The most important finding of the present study was that the annual decline in FEV1 of asthmatic patients with severe OSA was significantly accelerated compared to those of patients with mild-to-moderate OSA and those of patients without OSA (72.4 ± 61.7 milli-litre vs. 41.9 ± ...
Specific staining for YKL-40 is brown, whereas nuclei are stained blue. Representative photomicrographs are present from a) a healthy individual, b) a patient with mild asthma, c) a patient with moderate asthma, and d) a patient with severe asthma. YKL-40-positive and -negative cells were...
This consensus guidance was developed and endorsed by both GOLD and Global Initiative for Asthma (GINA). Spirometrically, ACO is characterized by moderate, persistent airflow limitation, while post-bronchodilator testing reveals a noticeable but incomplete reversibility20. The recognition of this ...
the introduction of these products cannot exceed those of giving up smoking and that the rate of decline over time in forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1) is a reliable marker of the risk of COPD. FEV1is also a marker of other respiratory diseases such as asthma, pulmonary fibrosis ...
