Exhaled nitric oxide in evaluation of young adults with chronic cough.

30 Aug 2009 BACKGROUND: Bronchial asthma (A) is frequently diagnosed in patients with chronic cough. The study was conducted to determine whether an evaluation of fractional exhaled nitric oxide (FeNO) concentration can be used as a screening test for asthma in ... Read more...

Eosinophilic esophagitis: example of an emerging allergic manifestation?

17 Aug 2009 Over the past decade, there has been a significant increase in the number of children and adults with eosinophilic esophagitis (EE). This recently recognized form of chronic pan-esophagitis is characterized by dense eosinophilic infiltration of the ... Read more...

Very low prevalence of asthma and allergies in schoolchildren from rural Beijing, China.

30 Jul 2009 BACKGROUND: The prevalence of asthma is relatively low in the Chinese population. There is consistent evidence that growing up on a farm is associated with protection against the subsequent development of asthma. OBJECTIVE: To compare the prevalence ... Read more...
