Respiratory Impairment and Systemic Inflammation in Cedar Asthmatics Removed from Exposure
BACKGROUND Prior research has shown that removing occupational asthmatics from exposure does not routinely lead to significant improvements in respiratory impairment. These studies were of limited duration and factors determining recovery remain obscure. Our objective was to evaluate residual respiratory impairment and associated sputum and blood biomarkers in subjects with Western red cedar as...
متن کاملAirway Hyperresponsiveness and Quality of Life in Western Red Cedar Asthmatics Removed from Exposure
OBJECTIVES Most western red cedar asthmatics (WRCA) continue to have symptoms even after removal from exposure. Consequently, health-related quality of life (HRQL) is often impaired. The objective of this study was to evaluate the relationship between two measures of AHR and HRQL scores in those with WRCA. METHODS HRQL was determined by the short form 36 (SF-36) in 46 male, non-smoking indivi...
متن کاملEffects of photochemical air pollution and allergen exposure on upper respiratory tract inflammation in asthmatics.
