Adrenal failure in bronchial asthma.

Iatrogenic Adrenal Cortex Failure in Patients with Steroid Dependent Asthma in Relation to Different Methods of Glucocorticoid Treatment.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate and compare the degree of adrenal cortex suppression in patients receiving long term treatment with different formulas and doses of glucocorticoids (GC) which is of considerable diagnostic and therapeutic importance. METHODS: A total of 97 subjects (51 women and 46 men) with bronchial asthma was divided into the groups subjected to different GC treatment (e.g. inhalation,...

Relationship Between Vertebral Deformities And Allergic Diseases

Methods: We divided 360 atopic dermatitis patients into six groups in the treatment frequency to compare a treatment effect. We investigated the existence of the diurnal secretion quantity change of adrenal cortex hormone to judge the present condition of the adrenal cortex functions of 1,699 atopic dermatitis patients and bronchial asthma patients. We investigated the spinal condition of 1,028...

Human platelet antigen polymorphism in bronchial asthma

Background: Asthma is recognized as a common cause of disability, of great economic cost, and of preventable deaths. In this study we aimed to test our hypothesis to evaluate the relationship between the Human Platelet Antigen-1(HPA-1) polymorphism and bronchial asthma and its severity, which would suggest genetic variances that may be responsible for expression or activation of these receptors...

A Study on Clinical Efficacy of Lepidium Sativum Seeds in Treatment of Bronchial Asthma

The present investigation was carried out to determine the efficacy and safety of Lepidium sativum (L. sativum) (Garden Cress, Fam: Cruciferae) in patients of bronchial asthma. L. sativum seed powder was given at a dose of 1 gm thrice a day orally to 30 patients of either sex in the range of 15-80 years with mild to moderate bronchial asthma without any concurrent medication. The respiratory fu...

Association between bread baking in wood tenor ovens and incidence and control of bronchial asthma in Ardabil, Iran, in 2013

Background: Asthma is a chronic multifactorial disease with a high prevalence. Among asthma risk factors, the effect of baking in wood tenor ovens (traditional form of baking) on bronchial asthma is still debated. The aim of this study was to determine the association between baking in wood tenor ovens and incidence and control of bronchial asthma. Materials and Methods: This descriptive stu...
