متن کاملBronchial hyperreactivity in children with antibody deficiencies.
BACKGROUND Antibody deficiency comprises a heterogeneous group of disorders characterised by the body's inability to mount an effective antibody response to pathogens.

In this stu...
متن کاملAssociation of insulin resistance with bronchial hyperreactivity
BACKGROUND Several epidemiologic studies showed the significant association of insulin resistance with asthma. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to evaluate the association of insulin resistance with airway hyperresponsiveness (AHR) in adult population. METHODS 1,058 subjects who visited to the Seoul National University Hospital Gangnam Center from October 2007 to January 2009 for a routi...
