Fractional Exhaled Nitric Oxide in Healthy Tibetans at High Altitude

BACKGROUND Fractional exhaled NO (FENO) is a marker of airway inflammation. For successful use of this marker it is important to have reference ranges from different healthy populations. The aim of this study was to establish these in healthy Tibetan adults who had always lived at high altitude on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. MATERIAL AND METHODS The study included 145 healthy Tibetan subjects,...

Exhaled Nitric Oxide

Exercise-induced wheeze: Fraction of exhaled nitric oxide-directed management.

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Exercise-induced wheeze (EIW) is common. Several treatment options exist. Patients with low fraction of exhaled nitric oxide (F(E)NO) are unlikely to be steroid-responsive and might benefit from non-steroidal therapies. We assessed: the efficacy of cromoglycate, formoterol and montelukast in patients with EIW and low F(E)NO (<35 ppb) in a randomized cross-over trial, an...

Cough and Exhaled Nitric Oxide Levels: What Happens with Exercise?

Cough associated with exertion is often used as a surrogate marker of asthma. However, to date there are no studies that have objectively measured cough in association with exercise in children. Our primary aim was to examine whether children with a pre-existing cough have an increase in cough frequency during and post-exercise. We hypothesized that children with any coughing illness will have ...
